I've never tested it, but it's "supposed" to be better(?) than the former. * x11-plugins/gaim-otr Available versions: ~1.0.3 ~2.0.0 ~2.0.1 ~2.0.2 ~3.0.0 ~3.0.0-r1 Installed: none Homepage: http://www.cypherpunks.ca/otr/ Description: (OTR) Messaging allows you to have private conversations over instant messaging
