[jdev] First public release of the kaa.xmpp library

[Dirk Meyer]

Hi,

it took me a long time, but I guess it is time to move my XMPP library
to a public SVN. The library is written in Python for the kaa framework
(outdated info at http://www.freevo.org/kaa). Licence is LGPL.

Some notes:

1. The library is designed for bot-to-bot communication and not for
   users chatting. It does not even supports <thread>s and stuff like
   that. If you want to use the lib for that, you need to send a patch.

2. The main reason for publishing my current (work in progress) code is
   that it supports most of the stuff you need for end-to-end security:
   - XEP-0174: Link-local Support
   - XEP-0247: Jingle XML Streams
   - XEP-0246: End-to-End XML Streams
   - XEP-0250: C2C Authentication Using TLS (no OpenGPG)

   Support for XEP-0189: Public Key Publishing is planed. I have no
   server that supports everything XEP-0189 requires.

3. The library is only tested against an ejabberd and itself. The error
   handling is kind of poor -- if something is wrong you will see it on
   stdout / a logfile.

4. There is a test case in svn to test e2e security. You need to provide
   username, servername, and password in the test file.

You need kaa.base from svn and have it installed before trying to
install kaa.xmpp. svn://svn.freevo.org/kaa/trunk/base

For questions about kaa.xmpp or kaa in general, contact me directly, use
the freevo devel mailing list, or ask at #freevo on irc.gnu.org.

Have fun,

Dirk
