Has anyone installed pidgin-otr (formerly known as gaim-otr, because Pidgin switched its name from Gaim to Pidgin in the past), which allows off-the-record messaging (private conversations over instant messaging through encryption)? For further information see http://otr.cypherpunks.ca.
I ask this because I don't know how to install and which version to be used. In pirut (menu Applications > System Tools > Add/Remove Software) I can only find an old version (gaim-otr - 3.0.1-0.6.20060712cvs.fc6.ppc), but under Package Details they are telling that this is a plugin for Pidgin. It seems that you can find newer versions under http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=pidgin-otr.so. Any help would be appreciated.
