[gaim-migrate @ 16442] It is currently possible for yourself to not show up in your own buddy list at signon with Jabber. To reproduce: 1. Sign on and add yourself to your buddy list 2. Sign off and exit Gaim 3. Delete your blist.xml 4. Sign on The same bug would also appear when signing into your Jabber account using Gaim for the first time. Normally this works because the Jabber PRPL fakes showing your status whenever jabber_presence_send() is called. However, the call to jabber_presence_send() can happen BEFORE we receive the roster from the server (it usually does, I think) so the PRPL tries to set the status for yourself, but your GaimBuddy node doesn't exist yet. committer: Tailor Script <[e-mail]>

SILC Gaim Plugin
================

This is Gaim protocol plugin of the protocol called Secure Internet Live 
Conferencing (SILC).  The implementation will use the SILC Toolkit, 
freely available from the http://silcnet.org/ site, for the actual SILC 
protocol implementation.

To include the SILC into Gaim, one needs to first compile and install 
the SILC Toolkit.  It is done as follows:

	./configure --enable-shared
	make
	make install

This will compile shared libraries of the SILC Toolkit.  If the --prefix 
is not given to ./configure, the binaries are installed into the 
/usr/local/silc directory.

Once the Toolkit is installed one needs to tell for the Gaim ./configure
script where the SILC Toolkit is located.  It is done as simply as:

	./configure

if pkg-config is installed in your system.  If it is isn't it's done as:

	./configure --with-silc-libs=/path/to/silc/lib
		    --with-silc-includes=/path/to/silc/include

If the Toolkit cannot be located the SILC will not be compiled into the 
Gaim.
