In order to use this plugin after installation, you'll need to run the following command in weechat:

/script load weechat-matrix.py

Alternatively, if you want the script to be loaded on start-up automatically, you'll need to symlink it into your autoload folder:

$ ln -s /usr/share/weechat/python/weechat-matrix.py -t ~/.weechat/python/autoload/

The location of the script changed in April 2020 and installation recommendations changed in May 2020, so remove any extra matrix-related symlinks you have in your ~/.weechat/python/ and ~/.weechat/python/autoload/ folders to avoid issues. You only need the autoload symlink going forward.

Project Status: weechat-matrix is stable and quite usable as a daily driver. It already supports large parts of the Matrix protocol, including end-to-end encryption (though some features like cross-signing and session unwedging are unimplemented).

However, due to some inherent limitations of Weechat scripts, development has moved to weechat-matrix-rs, a Weechat plugin written in Rust. As such, weechat-matrix is in maintenance mode and will likely not be receiving substantial new features. PRs are still accepted and welcome. https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix

(I've noticed there is a bug in this that requires python310 from AUR to workaround https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248 )

However I think the package might want to support upstream development by ~~~switching to the rust version which supersedes the python version.~~~ https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix-rs

Looks like a package already exists, please add your votes -- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/weechat-matrix-rs-git/

WeeChat 2.8-2 automatically recognises scripts in /usr/share/weechat/, so there is no need to symlink /usr/share/weechat/python/weechat-matrix.py to ~/.weechat/python/ any more, the command /script load weechat-matrix.py now works out of the box.

To autoload the script during startup, create a symlink as usual:

ln -s /usr/share/weechat/python/weechat-matrix.py -t ~/.weechat/python/autoload

@diabonas - Thanks for the info, I will rename this to weechat-matrix-git when the other package is moved.

I have added the first release of this package as weechat-matrix to the [community] repository: since the older weechat-matrix-protocol-script is not actively developed any more, I don't think the "poljar" qualifier is necessary any longer to distinguish both projects.

Note that the files in the [community] package are placed in /usr/share in accordance with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, so to use the new package, you will need to update your existing symbolic links:

ln -sf /usr/share/weechat/python/{matrix,matrix.py} -t ~/.weechat/python

To match the naming of the [community] package, this package should perspectivally be renamed to weechmatrix-matrix-git, but the existing AUR package of that name based on weechat-matrix-protocol-script needs to be moved first.

@physkets I added the contrib scripts and updated the .install file

Can you also install the scripts in https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/tree/master/contrib ?

Slash commented on 2019-10-12 23:36 (UTC)

@kureta - I added an .install file with similar output.
