Reasons:
- Riak DB development is almost halted after Basho
- riak-erlang-client is abandoned and doesn't work
correctly with OTP22
- Riak is slow in comparison to other databases
- Missing key ordering makes it impossible to implement range
queries efficiently (e.g. MAM queries)
Even if no suitable C graphics libraries are detected
at compile time, the package is still usable because it
provides `eimp:get_type/1` which is used by mod_avatar.
The purpose of the module is to cope with legacy and modern
XMPP clients posting avatars. It automatically converts vCard based
avatars (XEP-0153) to PEP based avatars (XEP-0084) and vice versa.
Also, the module supports convertation between avatar image formats on
the fly: this is controlled by `convert` option. For example, to
convert all avatars into PNG format, configure the module as:
mod_avatar:
convert:
default: png
In order to convert only `webp` format to `jpeg`, set the following:
mod_avatar:
convert:
webp: jpeg
Note: the module depends on mod_vcard, mod_vcard_xupdate and mod_pubsub.
Also, ejabberd should be built with --enable-graphics option.
This option make 'rebar get-deps' command to always fetch latest versions
of deps that are developed together with ejabberd instead of using frozen
commit/branch/tag.
Specifying "--enable-nif" or "--disable-nif" when running ejabberd's
configure script has no effect anymore: NIF support is enabled by
default and can only be disabled by building the p1_xml dependency with
"--disable-nif".
Generated the mix.exs file through configure is not possible when using mix, as
it does not run configure after having downloaded the dependencies.
#621
to do so, we remove configure script from repository.
it must be generated with autotools.
for developpers not using autotools, we include the configure script in
release source tarball, which in generated with correct version string.
