Update libotr to version 4.0.0

[marvinone]

I've done two things:

1. added a version string to the old libotr-version (3.2.0)
2. updated the libotr-Formula to version 4.0.0

I don't know if the first step is senseless - but i think it won't break anything and so it's more consistent.

Only tested on my Mountain-Lion iMac here. Installs like a charm.

Homebrew can read simple version strings from the URL, so both of these are redundant; remove the, and squash to a single commit. Thanks!

[marvinone]

Allright, now it's like requested: No version-string and only one commit.

[jacknagel]

Looks like this breaks mcabber; at least, it chokes at configure.

[marvinone]

Jeah, seams mcabber is not ready for libotr v4:

checking for libotr CFLAGS... 
checking for libotr LIBS...  -lotr
checking for libotr headers version 3.x >= 3.1.0... not present.
checking for otrl_message_receiving in -lotr... yes
configure: error: libotr 3.1.0 or newer is required.
Error: #<BuildError: Failed executing: ./configure --disable-debug --disable-dependency-tracking --prefix=/usr/loca/Cellar/mcabber/0.10.1 --enable-otr>

libotr v4 was released two days ago, so most of the software have to be updated to the new version.

On the Website there is a Upgrade-Readme which tells us:

Note that applications compiled against previous versions of OTR will not work with libotr 4.0.0.

What's the common approach in such a case? libotr4 ?

ArchLinux have a libotr3 package which is installed to /usr/include/libotr3/ and /usr/lib/libotr3.so. Maybe that helps some people as a quick fix.

MacPorts is still only packaging 3.x; do we need to keep an otr 3 in core?

[jacknagel]

The stuff in Homebrew that depends on this is either unmaintained or rarely updated, and does not work against 4.x

[adamv]

We can't let that stuff prevent adoption of 4.x if that is the right thing to do.

[jacknagel]

Yeah that was mostly just fyi

[jacknagel]

I'd be willing to eject those things from core, actually.

[adamv]

$ brew uses libotr
mcabber

Yeah I don't use either of these.

[adamv]

MCABBER has recent updates, though, so presumably they would be receptive to 4.x compatibility if it wasn't hard to do.

[MikeMcQuaid]

Shall we bin both of these from core?

[adamv]

Dunno, just posted a mcabber update.

[ed-velez]

Any update on this?

[adamv]

Won't happen unless someone sorts out macabber compatibility.

[ed-velez]

Gotcha. Worthwhile to update the formula to at least pull the latest 3.2.x? Looks like 3.2.1 addresses a couple of security issues.

[adamv]

Sure.
