" summary:
This patch adds support for a zephyr proxy tzc. User
visible changes will be an options check box to enable
tzc, and a text box with the command to run tzc. %s in
the command would be replaced by the user's exposure
(visibility) level.
e.g
ssh username@host tzc -e %s
Details:
What is tzc:
tzc aka "trivial zephyr client", is a zephyr helper
program, designed originally for use with emacs-zephyr
(it takes as input and outputs lisp expressions), and
also used as the backend for kzephyr.
Why?
It is often invoked by a zephyr using on a remote host,
by doing
ssh username@host tzc -e EXPOSURE
so that one can use any of the zephyr clients that use
it as a backend, behind NAT "routers" and firewalls,
which will generally block zephyr.
Also, people will not have to recompile gaim, or have a
working zephyr setup as is currently needed - they can
merely set the tzc command to a run tzc from a remote
host which has zephyr and tzc installed -- most zephyr
users are at universities where they have access to
such a machine.
Where can one get tzc?
I tested this against the version (2.6.15-zml)
available here:
http://www.club.cc.cmu.edu/debian/dists/stable/contrib/source/tzc-cclub_001-3.tar.gz
Some older versions won't support buddylists.
A lot of the parsing code was borrowed (and converted from
C++ to C)
from kzephyr (http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~colohan/kzephyr/),
a GPL'd zephyr client.
And tzc is also GPL'd, FWIW." --Arun A Tharuvai
