everybuddy in it's current state isn't really ben maintained at current. The developers are off essentially rewriting the source from scratch. It's really buggy and we've been forced to release CVS versions just to fix the seriousness of the bugs.
On December 20th, one of the everybuddy developers forked their CVS off to start ayttm. They've cleaned up the code a lot, fixed a number of bugs. Their primary goal is to make ayttm a simple, easy to use universal client, that is stable. I think we should drop everybuddy from main into contrib. It's just way to buggy for main. Replacing it in main would be ayttm. ayttm can use everybuddy contact and account lists and with some modification its preferences files. So most users can migrate over to it relatively painlessly. I've built an ayttm package which we can use: http://mirror.brain.org/linux/breser/i586/9.0/SRPMS/ayttm-0.2.1-3brs.src.rpm Details on the ayttm project can be found at: http://www.nongnu.org/ayttm/ -- Ben Reser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ben.reser.org "America does not go abroad in search of monsters to destroy.
