Thinking more about this, I am not sure this will be necessary. There is
an effort underway to merge OTR in the main irssi package, and there are
only two other irssi plugins out there, so I am not sure this is worth
the effort.

Surely this is a bug that should be reported against irssi in any case.

 It's been tested by a friend, but i would appreciate more
 testing. Waiting for an upstream release for a bit now to avoid
 packaging a snapshot.

That was the wrong URL, the proper one is:

http://paste.anarc.at/otr/irssi-plugin-otr_1.0.1+f75eb26-1_amd64.deb

sorry. you should use dget anyways to verify the signatures first:

I just grabbed that package and installed it, on my up-to-date sid
system, ran irssi and then did '/load otr', and I got:

18:36 -!- Irssi: otr/otr is ABI version 1 but Irssi is version 2, cannot load

Interestingly, the ABI version increased by one, but it needs one more
to get to '2'.

For the record, I have uploaded a new package there and I have had
information from another user that it works. You may want to try again.

apt-cache search irssi-plugin tells me there's only -plugin-xmpp and
-plugin-robustirc…

I tried this package today and when I did '/load otr', I would get this
in irssi:

15:38 -!- Irssi: otr/otr is ABI version 0 but Irssi is version 2, cannot load

I don't know.

But before anyone starts working on this now - i have what i think is a
working package now here:

http://paste.anarc.at/otr/

It's been tested by a friend, but i would appreciate more
testing. Waiting for an upstream release for a bit now to avoid
packaging a snapshot.
