Definitely do enjoy! Thank you so very much for these, mate. Awesome!

I had set up qemu and scratchbox and had gotten libpurple and telepathy-haze built, but I couldn't get them to work. The missing ingredient was aegis. (oh, I'm also a complete Debian n00b so I probably fsck'd up the debs I made anyway)

You have saved me a lot of headaches. Thanks mate!

I'm now happily using haze for ICQ and Yahoo.

This is not working for me I do not get anything in availability
I thought it may be a mc-tool issue:


Code:
mc-tool add haze/msn $liveid string:account=$liveid string:password=$idpassword
since you had the '$' sign and other instructions didn't, but I tried it without and I'm still not seeing anything.

I previously used butterfly but unistalled all associated packages already. did a mc-tool remove also.

What kind of password do you have? I discovered that password cannot contain special letters like !"#% when I configured the MSN account

install them using
Code:
dpkg -i libpurple0*
dpkg -i telepathy-haze*
with root

and then add account
Code:
mc-tool add haze/msn $liveid string:account=$liveid string:password=$idpassword
telepathy-haze also support many protocols, such as
haze/icq
haze/yahoo
haze/aim
haze/irc
haze/facebook
haze/gadugadu
haze/qq

I tried haze/icq and haze/msn, you can try other services self.

Enjoy =)

Thank you very much Coderus!

This works like a charm!

Only make sure that your password doesn't contain special letters like !"%¤& only letters and numbers


Code:
mc-tool add haze/msn MSN string:account=youraccountname@hotmail.com string:password=Yourpassword123

Did you remember to enable the account? After inputting that code, mc-tool gives you the name of the address, then you have enable it by following:

Code:
mc-tool enable haze/msn/youraccount_40hotmail_2eco0

Thanks guys, it's working now but i'm not getting full integration with MSN

I only have online/offline status and not away and invisible. Disabling MSN through 'Accounts' application doesn't seem to do anything either. I also keep on getting empty conversations list - I need to select SMS only and then select all messages again to have all my messages show up. In contacts, I see the small icon to indicate the contact's status and if they are on MSN, but if I go view the contact, the live address for msn is blank.
I've changed the msn.service manager to haze already too

the steps I did:
remove all butterfly and python packages.
installed libpurple0 and haze
mc-tool added and enabled the account
follow the instructions on 'Proper integration of telepathy accounts'
rebooted. tried disabling enabling MSN via 'Accounts'


I'll have another go starting from scratch when I get home, any suggestions?
