Description Denis Shcherbakov 2003-09-28 18:37:26 UTC

The latest Yahoo messenger in Gentoo portage database, namely 0.99-****, will
not run with Yahoo servers anymore.  Yahoo released the new version,
ymessenger-1.0.4-1.i386 for Linux, so an ebuild is needed for this version.  I
guess this must be a major Yahoo Messenger release since versions of the
Messenger below 1 are completely incapacitated.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run Yahoo Messenger, any version below 1, (/opt/ymessenger/bin/ymessenger)
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The message from Yahoo comes up:
"You are using an older version of Yahoo! Messenger that is no longer supported.
Please upgrade by downloading the newest version by going to:
http://messenger.yahoo.com/"

Expected Results:  
It should have let me log on to Yahoo :)
