Re: [Pidgin-paranoia-devel] Keygen features of 0.2.0

[Christian W. <chr...@st...>]

Hi,

I agree completely. I could live without /otp scan in 0.2 but if its
done soon it's ok as well.

Can you do this workaround with the key named something like
generating-3F2DDDD.tmp during keygen?
I agree with Simon that the current state is quite confusing.

Btw: I will code something like "./otptester --check-many-things" to
help finding avoidable (rare) errors and regressions for 0.2 this WE.

Cheers

Chri
