Hi, libotr is a commonly used instant message encryption protocol. It is used by a lot of IM programs. To resolve various issues, upstream had to break compatibility. While pidgin-otr has been updated to work with the new library, most other applications (kopete, bitlbee, irssi, xchat-otr) haven't been ported to the new libotr-4 API yet. The most visible bug in libotr3 are the "IM crypto storms" when a user is logged in multiple times using the same account (for jabber, even when using a different resource name). It is a pretty signifant user experience problem. To faciliate a smooth transition, I would like to package libotr3, so I can push libotr-4 and libotr3 into the repositories. This follows a similar scheme to Debian although they version based on .so number, so they introduced libotr2 where I used libotr3 based on the version number of the software. If possible, I would like a few more eyes to look at my compat package to ensure I've done it right. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=865937 Thanks, Paul -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
