[TriLUG] Re: jabber.trilug.org Yahoo transport

[David A. Cafaro]

Just a FYI, yahoo on gaim ver .75 and before is broken.  Won't really
work, intermittent at best.  They haven't been able to release a fixed
version yet, but in there forums you will find a guy who setup a fixed
package of version .75 that has the Yahoo patch, and the security
patch.  Here is the thread:

http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1016282&forum_id=665

Here are the patched versions:

These are not from the official developers, so it's up to you to decide
if you trust it.  Enjoy!

PS, I gave it a shot and it's running great for me, but I'm not going
through the Trilug proxy.
