> Yes, average users will use Pidgin with OTR for chatting. The more
paranoid should be running Finch with OTR as a unique user in a non-
desktop environment. I seem to recall OTR had the patches etc. pretty much
good to go and some changes on the libpurple/finch side had already taken
place. I've not had a chance to check the backlogs of mail yet...
I did a little bit of digging and I think that this is a pretty
comprehensive page on the topic: https://yanovich.net/blog/installing-the-
otr-off-the-record-plugin-for-finch.html
It seems to me that finch support is actually quite straight forward. The
main issue here is to have a clean patch to pidgin-otr or we'd have a
second plugin, purple-otr for finch support.
Either would be fine with me - though that is largely just bike shedding
as nearly all of the work has already been done in the purple-otr.git
repo.
