Package: pidgin Version: 2.12.0-1+b1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
Several other xmpp clients natively support XEP-0184, and there has been a thread discussing it officially: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/6940 Currently, several other distributions have already included this plugin, (e.g. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/pidgin-xmpp-receipts/ , https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/x11-plugins/pidgin-xmpp-receipts , https://software.opensuse.org/package/pidgin-xmpp-receipts ) while debian and its descendants not. XEP-0184 is very useful to detect loss of synchronization when combined with OTR, for a receipt is not generated if the corresponding message is not successfully decrypted. There already is a wish #760451 to add this plugin to pidgin-plugin-pack, but since it implements a low level feature of XMPP, may it be appropriate to be bundled with pidgin executable, just as xmppconsole and xmppdisco? -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.14.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=zh_CN.utf8, LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=zh_CN.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages pidgin depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 2.26.1-3 ii libc6 2.26-4 ii libcairo2 1.15.8-3 ii libdbus-1-3 1.12.2-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-3 ii libfontconfig1 2.12.6-0.1 ii libfreetype6 2.8.1-1 ii libgadu3 1:1.12.2-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.11-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.3-2 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.12.4-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.32-1 ii libgtkspell0 2.0.16-1.1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.14-1 ii libpurple0 2.12.0-1+b1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.4-3 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1+b2 ii perl-base [perlapi-5.26.0] 5.26.1-4 ii pidgin-data 2.12.0-1 Versions of packages pidgin recommends: ii gstreamer1.0-libav 1.12.4-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-base 1.12.4-1 ii gstreamer1.0-plugins-good 1.12.4-1 ii gstreamer1.0-pulseaudio 1.12.4-1 Versions of packages pidgin suggests: ii libsqlite3-0 3.22.0-1 -- no debconf information
