I want to connect to matrix.org via weechat in Leap 15.0.

  1. I need the matrix script
  2. I need the dependencies, as far as I see I need to package lua-cjson for 5.3 lua and Leap 15.0, which at the moment doesn't build. This means that I need to learn a bit more packaging than I do now.
  3. Check whatever else is needed.

      I no longer have all the scripts that I used since weechat 2.1 was compiled with python3. And now all the scripts need to be python3. I lost my notify.py adn while I opened a PR for it, it started causing crashes on weechat itself. So now I either have to find another notification script, like this which also needs python3 adjustments or I need to fix the first one. Let's see which is easiest. This is an addition/enhancement on the project. Has nothing to do with matrix just something that needs to be done.

      I've tried the same last Hackweek. I could not build a lua-cjson package, but I am also inexperienced in packaging (and was even less experienced back then) so don't let that stop you from trying ;). I did get the script to run and connect to matrix.org, but its performance was lacking. It made my weechat really slow (taking more than 1s to change buffer) - I have not tried it since and maybe it was just an configuration issue. Hopefully you have a better experience, let me know how it goes :)

      So the package for lua 5.3 and Leap 15.0 is built successfully I will see about maybe pushing this to Factory as soon as I make the rpmlint errors and warnings go away. Now for the loading of the script and the rest of the configurations.

      Loading the script slows down weechat significantly and I have bumped into more than a few errors/bugs already. I think in the end I won't use weechat with matrix. Unless I can fix something in the actual script code, which I am not sure how to, since I don't know lua. The overall experience so far is underwhelming.

      For some reason the page doesn't resolve the package link properly. You can see it in my home project for ktsamis or here: https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/ktsamis:/branches:/home:/bergmannf/openSUSELeap15.0/

      Matrix can be used now, the dependency is built for Leap 15.0. All that's left is to do the push to factory. Personally I will not use matrix because the cost (slow weechat, weird buffer behavior, etc) outweigh the benefits.
