[gaim-migrate @ 14411] sf patch #1357831, from Sadrul Habib Chowdhury Looks like this was my bug (me being KingAnt). Sorry! The description from Sadrul: This is a simple fix for the following "ShowStopperBug" (from the kwiki): ========== buddy shows as online when offline * I(luke) played with this some today. when my lschiere SILC account signs on, lschiere(aim) appears on my LSchiere2 buddy list as though signing on. As far as the gaim UI is concerned, there is no SILC buddy in that contact. as LSchiere (aim) is my account, I am quite sure that it is not online, plus attempting to IM it yeilds the same result. ========== 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 --without-silcd --without-irssi
	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 follows:

	./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.
