Gajim OTR http://gajim-otr.pentabarf.de/ Is now included in the official plugin repository of Gajim.

More about OTR: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/

• Off-the-Record (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging by providing:
• Encryption
  No one else can read your instant messages.
• Authentication
  You are assured the correspondent is who you think it is.
• Deniability
  The messages you send do not have digital signatures that are checkable by a third party. Anyone can forge messages after a conversation to make them look like they came from you. However, during a conversation, your correspondent is assured the messages he sees are authentic and unmodified.
• Perfect forward secrecy
  If you lose control of your private keys, no previous conversation is compromised.

Ping. This should be included in the repository.

sorry for not reading the topic carefully enough

This is about Python. pidgin-otr is an extension for Pidgin, not Gajim.

You are talking about python and Gajim, but you've missed the most important information here:

Python OTR
This is a pure Python OTR implementation; it does not bind to libotr.

Included in this package is a Gajim Python plugin to enable OTR support in the Gajim XMPP/Jabber client. This plugin is called gotr.

[zAchAry]

If you try to enable the OTR plugin while python-otr is not installed, a Plugin Error message will appear python-otr is missing.

If you try to enable the OTR plugin while python-otr is not installed, a Plugin Error message will appear python-otr is missing.

So what? Isn't that what one would expect to happen?

[zAchAry]

Yes, since I do not have the relevant component to make it to work. Am I missing anything here?

[zAchAry]

potr is now included by default in gotr. This thread is no longer relevant.
