Automatic OTR

[boyska]

OTR supports automatic detection if the other parts supports it. This is disabled in freepto. Enabling it should be very easy: just flip the bit in https://github.com/AvANa-BBS/freepto-lb/blob/master/config/includes.chroot/etc/skel/.purple/prefs.xml#L454

PRO It's easier for people to use OTR, and it less probable that sensitive content will leak CON

• It reveals that we use OTR (not an issue for freepto)
• Can be confusing for users why sometimes everything is automatic and sometimes it is not

If there's agreement, I am willing to do it.

How to test

Image: http://dev.freepto.mx/dev/boyska/2014-07-11_14.46_v1.0alpha1-25-gb49c72c-it_IT.UTF-8/ Virtualization: you can use it, if you prefer Needed: a jabber account and a friend with another one and Automatically initiate private messaging enabled What to do: Opening a chat with a buddy that has automatic otr and writing something will automatically trigger OTR Extra: open TWO instances of freepto, connect to two different jabber accounts, talk to each other. OTR should start automatically.

What do you mean by "working on this"?

the commit should be ready, if you can test it. Look at my master branch ( http://dev.freepto.mx/dev/boyska/2014-08-08_22.37_v1.0alpha1-28-g0513727-it_IT.UTF-8/ ); this issue, #133 and #54 should be fixed. If you can test them, I will merge everything.

I know it should be ready, I meant "I'll merge the commit"
