            Bug ID: 259954
           Summary: net-im/pidgin: Pidgin exclusively uses
                    net-im/libpurple's bundled TLS certs
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

While LetsEncrypt has had recent changes, I've noticed the following:
Pidgin exclusively uses net-im/libpurple's bundled TLS certs, and doesn't use
FreeBSD's own store of TLS certs.  This means even if FreeBSD utilities can
connect to services using recent LetsEncrypt certificates, Pidgin refuses to
connect. (for example, the jabber.at XMPP server)

I feel it would be nice if libpurple or Pidgin could be configured to use the
OS's TLS certificates.

I think this is probably a ports/package issue, but if I should report this
upstream instead, let me know.

package versions:
libpurple-2.14.4
pidgin-2.14.4
