Shmoose - Xmpp Client for Sailfish OS

 

ATTENTION!!! Database format will change until v1.0.0. All your existing conversations from a previous installation will not show up anymore after this update!!!

 

What you get is:

- One to one messaging

- Initial group messaging (Automatic room join on inventation or join open room by address)

- Sent, received and read status of messages

- Notifications on new messages

- Send pictures

 

Keep in mind that this is an alpha release. Many things work. Some things may have bugs. Lot of features are missing. For current status see the project page on github:

https://github.com/geobra/harbour-shmoose

Are you good at qml, C++ or encryption? Any help is appreciated.

Everytime I start working on this, some more important topic needs to be addressed. Omemo is not done on one weekend like other xeps. The encryption stuff has to be done right. But omemo is still on my list!

yes, thank you!

i didn't see updates on openrepos, and thought the project is abandoned.

thanks for supporting it and for great job.

can you may be do more often releases, so we get updates more often?

New updates will only work on new SFOS versions, because the new features need the more modern compiler version. But with the new SFOS version, I encountered a odd behaviour. Have a look here:

https://github.com/geobra/harbour-shmoose/issues/69

I will not release a new version until I find the issue of that. If you can help, it would be appreciated!

Hello. I sent you an xmpp authorisation request via shmoose yesterday, but did not get an response until now. Can you check your xmpp client?

Maybe this is something for filing in github but I report it here first:

Http file upload might be not compatible with all servers. I use prosody with an external webserver (mod_http_upload_external). For uploading an image to the sever the put-URL has to have an extra argument (v2):

e.g. myxyserver.de/xmpp/share_v2.php/b982eabe-1326-4a7e-8225-e37ff48af1ce/156599121620190810_140853.jpg?v2=9656de52cfe7af0067f45c599af78b1

This extra argument is to prevent others from uploading unwanted content to the webserver and is presented by the server in the put-tag but is skipped by shmoose, resulting in the server not accepting the upload.

Could that be fixed? Many thanks.

A loyal shmoose user.

Hi

That's interessting. I just had a quick look at the code and it should use the complete url for the put address - independed what it looks like. Is it possible to get an test account on your server? That would make resolving of the problem a lot easier.

Hallo Schorsch,

of course, a test account is possible. Can you send me a message via shmoose to: wilhelm@cloud.alte-breide.de?

I will prepare the account and send the credetials back than.

Regards Wilhelm

Hi there,

xmpp with omemo is one of the few things that keep me from switching to sailfish -still using lineage with conversations- 

Installed shmoose 4.1 omemo from github. As far as I can see sending encrypted messages to conversations seems to work, receiving messages doesn't.

I'm not good at programming more of type poweruser, is there anything I could do to support?

Thank You so far

Hi. I also tested mainly against Conversations. It worked for me in bot ways. Please have a look at the github page. There is a description where the logs are located. Take them, remove your private stuff and open a github issue with that log files. Hopefully I am able to track down the cause.

You have to also watch the branches ;-). There is an omemo beta release. https://github.com/geobra/harbour-shmoose/releases

Will the project be further developed? The last version is from December 2017 and there are some gaps in functionality.

Desirable would be background notification when Shmoose is closed and Omemo encryption.

Yes, the development ist really slowed down. There are fixes and improvements on github. I will release a new version the next weeks. After that I will start to integrate the alpha omemo implementation as an option. But this is far from being usable on a regular basis.

Currently there are only two developers on this project who are bringing in new code. So, any contributions are welcome!

Please start the app from terminal. Try the sending and post the error as a ticket on github.

Sending pictures does not work on my Xperia X. After selecting a picture and accepting nothing happens. Just get back to the conversation

I have a draft omemo implementation in one of the branches. It uses lurch, the libpurple plugin for pidgin. The main problem is workload at my real job. Sorry, donations won't help here. I try to get a working beta omemo implementation in the app before spring 2019...

Indeed, thx. (Note for other users: 'strip' is part of binutils: do 'pkcon install binutils')

Actually, I noticed that I missed a 'strip' in the build file after compilation. I will fix this in the next release. Meanwhile you can try a 'devel-su strip /usr/bin/harbour-shmoose'. That should result in about 14M...

Shmoose uses the swiften library, which is not available on the device. So I had to do a statically linked binary which includes all the stuff. Hence the big file size. It's stripped, but besides that I have no idea how to additionally reduce the file size.

Nice again, with a "but": /usr/bin/harbour-shnoose is quite big (85.6 Mb). As you probably know, available space in root partition is critical with current partition scheme of Xperia X. No way to reduce the size of your binary?
