Re: [Gaim-devel] SILC Tolkit 0.9.13

[Luke S. <lsc...@us...>]

I'm now starting to see reports in #gaim on irc.freenode.net that the
gaim silc prpl does not in fact work with 0.9.13.  

further, it does not appear possible to use gaim's silc prpl with 2
different silc networks, even with different nicknames on each (which
should not be a requirement, you should be able to have the same sn on
different networks).

further, there are bugs

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1170853&group_id=235&atid=100235
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1033303&group_id=235&atid=100235
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1039864&group_id=235&atid=100235

in addition to the various reports I have made on this mailing list.
the above bugs partially duplicate the ones listed here.  This is a
significant concern, as it appears that gaim's silc prpl is
functioning significantly less than the silc client you all have on
silcnet.org, yet patches have not been coming in.

Lastly, there seems to be a decided bias against working with debian,
and presumably other distros, to ensure that the toolkit can be
packaged in such a way as to meet their needs.
