I don't really want to add more individually maintained packages to my plate, especially not ones when upstream code is C. However, I have a draft unfinished email proposing a few potentially interested people (including you!) to create Debian OTR packaging team, and team-maintain at least libotr, pidgin-otr and irssi-plugin-otr. I would be glad to join such a team!

Fine with me, but note that the last time I touched this code it was only compatible with pidgin 2.10 and OTRv2. I haven't been updating it. Ah, I see. I was confused by the very top of https://gitorious.org/purple-otr/purple-otr/commits/, that made it appear like an active upstream project. Thanks for clarifying. So, with this new info at hand, I'm merely retitling this bug to indicate the originally requested feature (independently from how it could be implemented), and the fact that it affects the finch package.

Open source at its best. Anyhow, I'm undecided about continuing to maintain pidgin-otr which is unbearably buggy when there seems to be a technically better replacement for it (purple-otr). I need to ponder this a little. I'm gonna be offline for the next couple weeks, this might be the right time for me to evaluate the options ;-) I'll keep you posted. -- Thibaut VARENE http://www.parisc-linux.org/~varenet/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
