[Server-devel] ejabberd shared roster config

[Morgan Collett]

I've been playing around with setting up ejabberd seeing that Debian
and Intrepid ship with the shared roster patches:
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Installing_ejabberd/deb

I managed to hack up the shared roster with a minimum of things that
could go wrong, by using:

sudo ejabberdctl srg-create Online your.host.name Online "Online users" Online
sudo ejabberdctl srg-user-add @online "" Online your.host.name

This doesn't work immediately as it creates "@online" @ nothing
instead of "@online@" - but it does populate @online@ into the web
interface, so you just need to log in and submit the form with no
changes under shared roster groups. Then it correctly sets @online at .

Anyone have a simpler way to do this?
