yahoo messenger

[Anthony Carmody]

well, i have not been able to connect for 24hrs myself.

I have heard rumours [gasp] that MSN and Yahoo are on a crusade to block third party clients using their transport. i don't know the
weight of this in truth, but i must say that everyone i know who uses IM uses a third party client primarily to avoid Ads and such.
I use gaim myself. perhaps its the company i keep.

Yahoo has officially updated messenger such that you can no longer connect
using the current freebsd yahoo port version ( 0.99.19.1 ). I just tried
to install their NEW package..

makayla# pkg_add fbsd4.ymessenger.tgz
pkg_add: could not find package gtk-1.2.3 !
pkg_add: could not find package glib-1.2.3 !
pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-3.3.6 !
pkg_add: could not find package gdk-pixbuf-0.8.0 !
pkg_add: could not find package gettext-0.11.1_1 !

I have the following installed.. which worked fine with version 0.99.19.1..
gtk-1.2.10_10
gtk-2.2.4
glib-1.2.10_10
glib-2.2.3
XFree86-4.3.0,1
gdk-pixbuf-0.22.0
gettext-0.12.1

While I know the maintainer of the messenger port will have dealt with
this issue before he commits the update, but why would Yahoo have released
a new version today against depandants that are almost 6 months old?

Michael
