Re: [Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption
I think people are trying provoke a post-Snowden comment from the devs or Ubuntu. This uncomfortable discussion has an important social role in establishing or restoring or writing off credibility. Pre-Snowden the official position seemed incredible, but potentially honestly held. It may even have been part of the Ubuntus baffling but consistent long term strategy of replacing working software with half finished software. But post-Snowden we see an opportunity to discover if they are accidental helps or wilful supporters of the evil empire. Thus are reputations forged.

Re: [Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption
From comments when this first arose, the empathy developers were not interested in something that was interoperable with OTR, but might, someday, be interested in their own unique snowflake of an encryption system. I'm not a coder, but OTR is out there, works, and plays well with others. They really ought to make it work in empathy, one way or another. Perhaps there is a new bug that people might pay attention to, given the emphasis on crypto these days?

I'd humbly like to put forward a use case that may or may not affect how the implementation is performed. I regularly use OTR via Pigdin to securely communicate from a jabber account through a private jabber server then through a IM gateway to many AIM, MSN and Yahoo accounts (required by work). This is one of the areas where OTR shines as it is protocol independent. One of the reasons that OTR managed to gain popularity is its entire protocol is wrapped in the text that is transferred between users (read as, it just works). It manages to avoid all sorts of complexity and issues by staying entirely out of the existing IM protocols including any sort of server side changes or support. Adding encryption into the jabber protocol (XTLS/Jingle) doesn't help unless there are encryption and federation standards that are supported across all IM protocols and i'd imagine that would be harder to get implemented than this bug. =) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Papercutters, which is subscribed to One Hundred Paper Cuts. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 Title: empathy needs to support OTR encryption Status in Chat app, and Telepathy user interface: Confirmed Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in Telepathy framework - library: Confirmed Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “libtelepathy” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “empathy” package in Fedora: Won't Fix Bug description: Binary package hint: empathy Hello, I just tried empathy (the Intrepid version) and it looked very solid and stable.

Re: [Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption
As I recall, Empathy feels the world should be fixed. This would be nice, but it is a long ways off. So, yes, they have switched the default IM to empathy, which has no real plans to support encryption in the foreseeable future (xmmp crypto someday?), but Pidgin/OTR will remain installable. Of course, soon enough, video/audio will be working in Pidgin.

I understand this could be challenging when you need to support audio and video, but guys, challenging doesnt mean you have to run away from it. OTR or some sort of encryption at the client side is a must. switching to pidgin temporarily. :) -- empathy needs to support OTR encryption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug.

Re: [Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption
Okay we get it. OTR is important to everyone and everyone thinks it's bad that it's the default IM client in Ubuntu. The fact remains that these comments are of no use in a bug report (neither is this one for that matter). The relevant developers are working on this bug and also get the point. What's done is done, and the consequential issues are being addressed as best as possible. Please refrain from polluting the bug report with complaints and declarations that you will use alternate clients. These types of comments are better suited in a forum or maybe a blog. -- empathy needs to support OTR encryption https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/296867 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
Re: [Bug 296867] Re: empathy needs to support OTR encryption
I'd say that the default chat client should have OTR support, but no problem with having other choices that don't, Empathy has voice and video, which does make it a nice option.
