Hi Devs,

thanks for your great work with CentOS 7 :)

Now to my problem:

http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=7580

In order to use IRC (e.g. connecting to #centos and #centos-devel ;) ) I need telepathy-idle for the standard IM program called "empathy" in EL7.

Is there really no upstream package for this? I couldn't find anything in git.centos.org

The initial import of packages on git.c.o is done by RH. If the package you were looking for is not there, then it was not uploaded. Assuming that telepathy-idle exists in RHEL 7 , then probably whoever uploaded the packages to git.c.o made an error, i.e. forgot about this package. So, get in touch with RH and ask them to fix this. Since CentOS is just a consumer of the content uploaded to this git repository, there is nothing special CentOS can do ( Of course we could provide the package in an alternate repository, but given the case it looks more like food for EPEL )

After some miscommunication with toracat (sorry if I was a little harsh) he told me that this must be an upstream error.

And, IF telepathy-idle exists in RHEL 7 ( I have no RHEL subscription so I cannot verify ) THEN yes, it is an upstream error. They forgot to push the sources for it.

I would just like to verify this on this list before I go bothering upstream with a bugreport.

So it would be nice to know if someone can confirm the findings of toracat.

Then I can start arguing with RH what the hell they thought about not adding irc support in their standard IM client, then install pidgin (again).

Or you could build the desired package and use it.
