    another thing is, how to migrate from vcard-temp to vcard4

  2. lovetox

    say user logs into the client, and i discover there is vcard-temp entry, and a vcard4 entry

  3. lovetox

    hm ok just hoping the server converts 4 to temp

  4. lovetox

    but this is nowhere speced or?

  5. Link Mauve

    lovetox, https://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0292.xml#migration specifies the migration in one direction.

  6. lovetox

    Link Mauve, a migration needs some kind of marker that you know that a migration happend

  7. lovetox

    but because of avatar conversion, vcard-temp is not going away

  8. lovetox

    so it will always be there, and i dont see how you easily can say, i migrated that vcard already

  9. lovetox

    the vcard spec is so generic and allows almost anything, there is really no chance you can ever design a UI for all of it

  10. lovetox

    and then you have to pick the things you want to support

  11. lovetox

    for examle the <n> element, it allows for unlimited <surname> elements

  12. lovetox

    and if i supper unlimited surnames, the first client that does not support it will delete all my data .. ✎
