INTRODUCTION

------------

asmack http://code.google.com/p/asmack/ is a portage of the Smack library for

the Android platform. The project is mostly maintained by Rene Treffer and you

can find the binaries at http://code.google.com/p/asmack/ and the sources at

http://github.com/rtreffer/asmack

The asmack project is based on the development version of the Smack library.

This version is constantly moving but we want a fixed version for BEEM.

We patched the asmack build process to use a fixed version of the Smack

library. Currently, we use the revision 11644 of the Smack SVN repository.

COMPILE

-------

First check out the last version of asmack

> git clone git://github.com/rtreffer/asmack.git

The 50-fix_chatmanager.patch is only necessary to fix a little bug in smack. The

patch has been proposed to the Smack developers. See
