Get OTR to work with bitlbee

Versions 3.0 and newer have bitlbee-otr merged in.

When using distro packages, there is hopefully a bitlbee-plugin-otr package you can install. When compiling your own BitlBee, pass --otr=1 or --otr=plugin to the configure script. Make sure that you have libotr (libotr2-dev on Debian) installed, version 3.2.0 or higher!

Note that this requires running your own BitlBee. OTR functionality should not ever be offered on any public server as it only gives a false sense of security!

For more information on how to use OTR, see "help otr" and other existing documentation.
