Description Carl Johnson 2003-09-29 13:19:45 UTC

Yahoo changed their protocol recently.  They require the latest version of Yahoo
Messenger.  0.99.19.1-r1 is the only version of Yahoo Messenger available to
people NOT running unstable ebuilds, i.e. "~x86".  This version is now useless
as it will not connect to Yahoo.

I recommend removing 0.99.19.1-r1 from portage.  The other ebuild, 1.0.4.1,
works great but requires unstable ("~x86").  I feel this unstable flag should be
removed so everyone can use it.  Otherwise it's simply broken.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ymessenger 0.99.19.1-r1
2. Try to run it and connect to Yahoo Central
3. Observe that it does not work.

Actual Results:  
Failure to connect.

Expected Results:  
Connected to Yahoo successfully, populated "buddy list" and such.
