Bug#665748: O: pidgin-openpgp
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Unfortunately, the situation at work changed, and I have not
had any time for working on pidgin-openpgp (either the current
codebase or the one that was suggested to me should replace
it, which of course I cannot find the mail for right now) nor
will I probably be working on it and I personally use mcabber
and gajim, so this is open for adoption.
The packaging is usable but nothing to be proud of.
The code itself has two issues:
- the UI is horrid, you need to write ENABLEPGP in caps into
the chat window to enable it as there's no button or any
status indicator; this ought to be fixed
- there is one bug in the BTS against this regarding starting
multiple gpg-agent if there's none running
Adoptors should also look into the “other” XEP-0027 implementation
for pidgin (if they find it, or should I ever find that mail again
I’ll forward that) and determine whether it’s a suitable replacement.
