[Ayttm-devel] Dynamically link to libyahoo2

[Siddhesh P. <sid...@gm...>]

Hi,

The last commit to ayttm removes the libyahoo2 copy in ayttm from the
build tree (not from the repository) and instead, dynamically links
against the libyahoo2 library. So packagers will have to modify their
build specific dependency list to include libyahoo2. The code base has
always been in sync and it has usually been a bit of a headache to do
so due to having to make the same changes twice. That is no longer the
case now.

There are some promising plans for the libyahoo2 project, with two
students proposing[1,2] improvements to libyahoo2 as part of the
Fedora Summer Coding[3] event. Hopefully this will bring back the
yahoo protocol support back on track.
