Bug Description
Binary package hint: gaim
Gaim doesn't compile in SILC support. All that is needed is for the SILC libraries to be installed when running ./configure.

Now that silc-toolkit has made it into Debian, it's just a matter of
build-depending on libsilc-dev and recompiling (eventually you'd have to
point --with-silc-include to the right includes)

It would be even better if there were a separate gaim-silc package, so as not
to make the normal gaim package depend on libsilc.

it would be better yet if gaim could detect the toolkit as provided by
the libsilc and libsilc-dev packages ;-)

Uhm... unless somebody has NMU'd it in the past few hours, the Debian
Gaim package does not contain SILC support, and won't do so until
#273871 is fixed. The SILC client library is packaged by somebody who
apparently denies that shared libraries have versions. I do not want to
introduce a dependency on these broken packages, because it will break
when SILC undergoes any API or ABI changes in the future. I'd prepare an
NMU if I cared about SILC, but I don't. I'd refer this bug to the
technical committee if I believed anything would actually happen.

Rob

For the record:
At this point, I think the best thing to do is to make sure that the libsilc package is fixed upstream to actually include contents while still fixing the soname issue. If that's done, it'll surely be synced to Ubuntu, and then you can presumably request Gaim to be built with libsilc support (which might require libsilc getting into main if it's not already).

No, because the bug was closed due to libsilc being removed from Debian.
Which reminds me, I need to close these bugs as it is no longer possible
to build the SILC plugin without a working libsilc package.

Now that silc-toolkit is back on track in main, i just tried building
gaim with silc enabled.
It appears to work for me. i connected to a silc server and it was
able to chat with folks, though it didn't appear to be able to cope
with a private key that had a passphrase on it.
I made very minor changes to the debian package to get it to build.
I'm publishing those changes here:
http://
but they're small enough to include as a straight diff, below.
Please let me know if i can help get this moving again. it would be
great to have SILC available on gaim in debian.

Any word on getting silc into gaim? i see a new version of gaim just

SASL is good news for folks concerned with secure instant messaging.
Thanks! Adding SILC back in would be even more good news.
If there's a policy-based, technical, or political reason to exclude
SILC from gaim, that'd be understandable. If that's the case, just

Otherwise, the silc-enabling changeset is actually pretty small, and
worth trying, especially if we're using the experimental repository.

This is mostly because I didn't feel that the libsilc package in Debian
has matured enough to be built with gaim and be a possible blocker for it.
libsilc hasn't been updated to a new upstream version in more than 2
years, even though there have been new releases since then.

Copying files out of the Pidgin tarball is not cleaner. It requires that on every upgrade, someone copy a tree of files. Additionally, as you can see, internal stuff uses internal.h, which doesn't belong in libpurple-dev.
If I was to want to split this (which I think is a terrible idea compared to just building pidgin with SILC support in main), I would take the pristine upstream tarball and use that as the base of a pidgin-silc source package. You should configure with --disable-gtk --disable-
This way, you'd get the results you want without needing to complicate future package maintenance. You'd just need to grab a new Pidgin tarball and rebuild the package.

I want to agree that splitting is a bad idea compared to just building in SILC support as is done in Debian now. I also want to note that the only thing required to fix this bug is to add the libsilc dev package to the build-deps and libsilc to the package dependencies. That's all that's been needed for at least the last couple of releases (edgy, feisty, gutsy). It's such a simple solution and would make the lives of all of us using silc so much easier that I would really like to see it happen before the next release. I'd also like to note that the pidgin and finch packages (in gutsy) both claim to have silc support when, in fact, they do not.
Also, if anyone comes across this thread wanting to enable silc support in pidgin or finch in gutsy here's how to do it:

I see. I had not realized the obvious that every package in main must depend only on other packages in main.
I read the the Main Inclusion Process (https:/

8.04 has arrived and I don't see SILC support in pidgin-
What more do we need to do/who do we need to talk to to get silc-toolkit included in main?

As it appears silc-toolkit is going into main (https:/
1) libsilc-1.1-2-dev (or whichever version is in 8.10) to be added as a build-dep to the pidgin source package
2) libsilc-1.1-2 (or whichever version is in 8.10) to be added as a dependency to the libpurpl0 package
With those 2 changes SILC support in Pidgin should "just work" which I think is what everyone would like to see.

not currently, as there is no silc toolkit deb available. i believe the
silc team is working to get a package accepted.
