JMP-compatible Gajim

JMP requires a version of Gajim that is at least 0.0.1 versions ahead
of the one in Trisquel 8. The version in Trisquel 8 prevents me from
sending images to my contacts over MMS.
I tried adding Gajim's PPA and it gave me dependency issues.

Oh, well. I'm using Flatpak as a workaround, until I can properly
install it. I just want to be able to send photos to Mom's phone.

My expectation is that if you try to install 3.22 you'll lack dependencies for that, and if you try to install those dependencies you'll lack dependencies for them, etc. This is usually the point at which I get the package from Guix instead.
Alternatively, you could see if there is a version of Gajim that is new enough to be able to send picture messages but old enough that it does not require a newer version of gir1.2-gtk-3.0 than Trisquel's. What is the earliest version of Gajim that works with JMP? I dont see anything about a version requirement on the website. Did you get this info from Denver?
Off-topic: I've never used Flatpak. Do you find it preferable to using Guix to get newer version of packages than those in the repo? Do programs installed via Flatpak reliably inherit DE-wide GTK themes? That's been my only real annoyance with Guix.

Trisquel 8's version + 0.0.1.

Yes.

No, it was just faster and more widely used.

Yes.
However, Flatpak-installed apps still don't cooperate with my IBus, so
I can't type emoji or other languages.
And this new version of Gajim still won't send image files to SMS
contacts. I might as well continue uploading images to the Web and
sending the link. This way, I can at least continue typing emoji and
other languages.
However, the version of Gajim in Trisquel gives errors all the time:
A programming error has been detected
It is probably not fatal, but should be reported
to the developers nonetheless.

This just randomly shows up ALL THE TIME.
Oh, well. It's the best I can do. Staying with old Gajim!

Are you referring to the Flatpak version, or the version I explain how to build in my other comment? If you mean the latter, the version of Gajim is not the problem, as I am now able to send pictures from Gajim after building 0.16.9.
From the changelog[1] for 1.0.0:
"Ported to GTK3 / Python3"
I suspect that the move to gtk3 is what added the gir1.2-gtk-3.0 >=3.22 dependency, so I set out to build the previous version of Gajim (0.16.9). There is still one outdated runtime dependency (python-nbxmpp) but since this package has no version-specific dependencies it's no trouble to build the most recent version of this package.
$ git clone https://dev.gajim.org/gajim/python-nbxmpp.git
$ cd python-nbxmpp
$ python setup.py build
$ sudo python setup.py install
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf python-nbxmpp
Now to build gajim:
$ sudo apt remove gajim # if you still have the old version installed
$ sudo apt install intltool
$ wget https://gajim.org/downloads/0.16/gajim-0.16.9.tar.bz2
$ tar -xvf gajim-0.16.9.tar.bz2
$ cd gajim-0.16.9
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ cd ..
$ rm -rf gajim-0.16.9
I was then able to launch Gajim and from my JMP account was able to send a picture to my friend's phone number.
I had noticed that sending pictures through Gajim didn't work, but I hadn't realized that I could fix this by using a later version. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

The script doesn't like the "#" in the file path. Your choices are to (a) rename #trisquel, (b) build somewhere else, or (c) modify line 2462 of the script. I advise (a) or (b). The script doesn't want to build in a directory containing "#" for a reason. It might cause everything following the "#" to be interpreted as a comment at some point during the build process.
I had this same problem. Only flatpak fixed it. I'd rather it work as a read install from the Trisquel repos.
