Mxit not working in Empathy 2.30.0.1

I can confirm this. Mxit protocol functions perfectly with pidgin (albeit throught a plugin.) Empathy supposedly supports Mxit but is impossible to connect to my account.

you could try it with empathy 2.30.1 which is now in Lucid.

Nope, still doesn't work. Same behavior.

This is requested from the user using purple_request_fields(), and I see that telepathy-haze doesn't implement that API
(http://git.collabora.co.uk/?p=telepathy-haze.git;a=blob;f=src/request.c).

Still not working empathy 2.30.2

setting to triaged since there is a upstream bug linked

does mxit work in ubuntu-10.10? if not we should remove the support from empathy

Even in 10.10 (Maverick)... Seriously I think that people should use pidgin again. At least it worked

Still broken in Empathy 2.32.1 :/

Using pidgin - at least the protocols it ships with actually work.

Either remove support for mxit, or fix it.

The empathay should be updated and fixed on the 12.04 Precise but NO! They didn't fix it. Empathay with a Mxit option here just lying around ffor nothing!!

Empathy is still being a complete retard in this regard. Why can't we just pull the Mxit option out of the available list until such time as it is working?

To me this looks quite unprofessional. I can imagine some new person starting up a live session, looking under the messaging menu, seeing Mxit and being unable to login. To me things like that are quite off-putting...

I'm using elementary OS Luna by the way.

It's been a problem for years now, the devs just don't care.
