Hello list,

Forgive me if this has already been discussed in the past. I ran across the dbus bindings tonight in the python scripts and they seem to do what I want except for being missing a facility to use dbus to answer an incoming call rather than just originate calls via the call method. (and I guess now thinking about it for more than 5seconds I need a hangup method as well)

For an audio only call I don't actually need the ekiga window showing at all since its a kiosk like application where all you see is the browser. I could either use one of the JS dbus bindings to talk to ekiga or I could just make a firefox handler for sip: and parse out numbers, answer or hangup myself and act according in any language that supports dbus.

So my question is, is this a work in progress anywhere I am missing right now - I would hate to spend the time if its a duplication of effort ?

It is not a duplication effort. Our DBUS system needs some love,
especially in Ekiga 3.00.

It seems straightforward enough to implement the new methods myself, but tonight is really the first time I have looked at the ekiga source or dbus internals, although I have been a c programmer for nearly 20 yrs. Anyone have any tips before I dive in ?

Snark ? (in CC).
cc gcc msvc etc.
I write mostly cross platform code meant for windows, linux and bsd.

I think there's a misunderstanding there : "Snark" is my nickname ;-)

I had a further look after writing this email and it looks like only a couple of lines of code are actually needed for each, but it seems like getting a build environment setup is going to take far longer than the code itself, but the wiki has a lot of details on it. So we'll see. Anyone else have any dbus wishlist methods I could add while I am working on it ?

The DBUS code would need some love indeed -- and it shouldn't be difficult to bring up again. I have that old bug report if you want :
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=338337

And I'll gladly help if you need directions.
