[gaim-migrate @ 17738]
* Patch from Christopher "cuberoot" to fix the repeated, CPU-intensive call loop on url_fetch_recv_cb() which was discussed on gaim-devl with the subject "Yahoo (and maybe others): gaim_util_fetch_url_request() at 100% CPU until complete with repeated EAGAIN". He writes:
"When read() returns 0, that means eof... period. Don't check errno, don't collect $200.
The loop was caused by eof condition when errno had previously been EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK. The CPU-bound loop stopped when errno happened to be overwritten.
I also believe trying to use some/part of an HTTP request on ETIMEDOUT to be a mistake so I removed it. Funny enough the read(2) manpage doesn't document ETIMEDOUT as a possible errno, but it is. (see tcp_timer.c and tcp_subr.c in src/sys/netinet)."
This closes Adium Trac ticket #5685.
* Added some passing-NULL-to-printf() safety which has been sitting around in this file locally for a while, waiting for a worthwhile commit to accompany.

This file describes how to compile and run gaim with dbus support. Hopefully, most of the steps from point 3 will soon be automated. 1. Make sure you have the latest version (0.34) of the dbus library installed, including glib bindings. http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/dbus 2. Compile gaim ./configure --enable-dbus make make install 3. Configure your dbus instalation for gaim A. Find your dbus session configuration file, usually /etc/dbus-1/session.conf B. In that file, find the <servicedir> section. This section contains the directory that stores files describing services, usually /usr/share/dbus-1/services C. Copy src/dbus-gaim.service to that directory D. Edit the dbus-gaim.service file you've just copied, and replace the path in the "Exec=" line with the path to your gaim executable. 4. Start Session DBUS if you haven't done it already eval `dbus-launch --session` export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS DBUS_SESSION_BUS_PID These commands will set the two above shell variables. These variables must be set before running any dbus-aware programs. Start gaim as usual. To communicate with it, use "gaim-send". When you execute gaim-send, the dbus system will automatically start a gaim process if one is not running already.
