[Pkg-xmpp-devel] Tails will soon stop funding maintenance of src:libotr in Debian

Yes, I'm uploader of both mcabber and profanity.

Many thanks for that!

Fair enough. Everyone who cares moved from OTR to OMEMO since long.
Profanity does support OMEMO. mcabber does not, but I assume, that
it's not used much with OTR neither.

Thanks for the heads-up! I will upload both mcabber and profanity
w/o libotr support when time comes, i.e. before forky freeze. NP!

Cheers
