gajim with otr encryption
In the instant messaging world, encryption is a bit of a problem. There is no single standard that all clients share, mostly two methods of encryption are out there: pgp over jabber (as defined in the xmpp standard) and otr.Most clients only support either otr (pidgin, adium) or pgp (gajim, psi), for a long time I was looking for a solution where both methods work. psi has otr-patches, but they didn't work when I tried them. kopete also has an otr-plugin, but I've not tested that yet.
Today I found that there is an otr-branch of gajim, which is my everyday client, so this would be great. As you can see on the picture, it seems to work on a connection with an ICQ user using pidgin.
I've created some ebuilds in my overlay (the code is stored in bazaar, I've copied the bzr eclass from the desktop effects overlay):
