libswiften is a core library used for transport itself, not just backend. While I'm already started to minimize its usage (see #470) its near impossible to drop libswiften without dropping XMPP transport at all. |

Hm, that doesn't sound good, as it's quite possible, that libswiften will be more and more dropped from distros in future.
I always thought, that could be replaced by the purple backend? |

libswiften was not in "distros" since libswiften2, it was in maintenance mode for decade already. |

FYI: It is a bug. But not in swift, but in boost signals2 itself. There are two patches for boost, which will fix it: |

I propose, that it should be considered to drop the libswiften backend in future. Problem is, libswiften hasn't received for years any updates and last commit was in 2020, while last release is even older. Also, it fails to compile against updated modern dependencies like boost. Debian, for example, already dropped libswiften from debian testing.
