Bitlbee is an IRC-to-IM gateway that support multiple protocols. Because the IRC protocol is really simple when it comes to graphical features (buddy icons, smileys, etc), Bitlbee doesn't support these. There's a patch available on the internet that allows you to specify a filename where Bitlbee should get its buddy icon from. Fix: I built a patch that adds a flag called WITH_MSN6_FEATURES which downloads and applies a patch that adds support for various MSN6 features. It's available at: http://g-rave.nl/files/ports/irc-bitlbee-msn.diff.gz How-To-Repeat: Install Bitlbee

Hello, Bitlbee doesn't support Google Talk, though a patch is available from the authors: http://get.bitlbee.org/patches/bitlbee-jabberserver.patch Adding this file to your '/usr/ports/irc/bitlbee/files' directory allows you to connect to Google Talk: http://g-rave.nl/files/ports/patch-xmpp-google by using the following line: | account add jabber foobar@gmail.com p4ssw0rd talk.google.com:ssl Have fun!

Hello, Sorry for the huge amount of mail I seem to generate, but I've just updated the MSN6 patch located at: http://g-rave.nl/files/ports/irc-bitlbee-msn.diff.gz with support for Google Talk (fix is now included). I've also added a config tunable called WITH_LDAP to build Bitlbee with LDAP authentication support (only allow people to register if they're in an LDAP database). Yours, -- Ed Schouten <ed@fxq.nl>
Dear maintainer of FreeBSD port irc/bitlbee, could you please take a look again at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?q=84929 And approve/reject the latest patch there (the one with msn6, gtalk and ldap)? -- Pav Lucistnik <pav@oook.cz> <pav@FreeBSD.org> And now something completely different.
