1. It’s best to compile qca2 by getting the tarballs from http://delta.affinix.com/qca. Do not use CMake to compile qca2. It will not install everything correctly. Instead, use the normal “./configure; make; make install” route.
2. You have to install the openssl plugin for qca2 in addition to the base library in order for Jabber SSL connections to work correctly. the openssl plugin can be found towards the bottom of the qca page at http://delta.affinix.com/qca. Jabber SSL connections will not work if you don’t do this.
3. If you’re having issues with Kopete not being able to find plugins, then you need to remove the following two files and then logout and log back in to KDE. The two files are:
- /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/ksycoca4stamp
- /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/ksycoca4
It may also be possible to run “kbuildsycoca4 –noincremental” from the command line and then restart Kopete to make it work. The above method seems to be the one that works for everybody though.
The FAQ on kopete.kde.org will be updated tomorrow with this same information. That is all.

A question:
Is the GnuPG Plugin already available for kopete in KDE 4?
Can`t find it…

hm, is there any chance that the CMake Files from kde subversion repository get changed to install qca correctly?
If not - can you give me some hints what is wrong?

saro: apparently it’s fixed in svn, just not in the tarballs.
also, qca is in some non-kde repository now… although the code left in kdesupport works for me.

The missing plugin are not recovered with the procedure described in (3). I opened a bug here:

floyd: it’s been moved to extragear since it links to kdepim.
Saro: Chani is right. Only the tarballs are wrong. The QCA maintainer doesn’t support using CMake anyways. That’s something we (KDE) added for our own convenience.
Chani: QCA is development and maintained in the kdesupport module of KDE SVN. That has _not_ changed.
Giovanni: Works for some people though. Apparently, this will be fixed with 4.0.1.

The missing plugins issue should be fixed in trunk and branch. Distros just need to update their branch diffs. I’ve done this for openSUSE.

Yes, I’ve seen Bille’s commits. Now it’s fixed. Thank you, Bille.
