Bugzilla Bug 188697

"This is a plugin for the Psi to use the Off-the-Record Messaging protocol.
Because the plugin interface of Psi is currently unfinished, it's necessary to
patch the development version of Psi 0.11."

http://www.tfh-berlin.de/~s717689/

Can this patch be included in the psi-gentoo package?

I believe that if this was added it should be hardmasked due to the fact it
says on the website:

"Because the plugin interface of Psi is currently unfinished, it's necessary to
patch the development version of Psi 0.11. The patch extends the plugin
interface of Psi to the necessary features."

Until that 'development' version is released this should also remain
hard-masked.

I'm for adding this even though I'm a pidgin user, because I'd like to be able
to communicate with my PSI friends using OTR. As we know OTR is the closest
thing to a universal encryption method available and therefore I believe it
should be supported.

net-im/psi/psi-0.11_pre20070901.ebuild

Experimental ebuild with support for Off-the-record encryption. Because no new
USE flag "otr" is introduced, the support for it is hidden behind the crypt USE
flag. Stuff you will need for OTR support:

- psi-otr-plugin.patch
- x11-plugins/psi-otr-0.2.ebuild
- =net-libs/libotr-3.0.0 (is in portage; 3.1.0 did not work for me)

and for the crypt USE flag generally:
- >=app-crypt/qca-gnupg-0.1_p20070706
- >=app-crypt/qca-2.0.0_beta7

My first published ebuilds, so beware of beginner's mistakes ...

OTR-Plugin for patched version of psi-0.11
(http://www.tfh-berlin.de/~s717689/).

Added to my dev overlay so you can try it easily ;)

Will wait for KDE4 to hit the tree, then we can add it

Any progress on this?
A new version has be released and kde4 is in the tree, so why wait?

I am going to attach an ebuild for the new version later (if I get it working)
