Kopete OTR Plugin adds an Off-The-Record encryption functionality to the KDE instant messenger Kopete, ensuring secure communication between users.
To use this plugin, you will need a recent version of KDE including headers for compiling. Versions 3.5.5 and 3.5.6 have been tested and proven to work. You will also require a recent version of Kopete including headers. Versions 0.12.3, 0.12.4, and latest svn have been used and confirmed to work. Ensure that you have libotr including headers as the plugin was developed against version 3.0.0. All the compile tools for compiling KDE applications must be available too.
Installing the plugin involves downloading the tar.bz2 file, then navigating to the directory and running ./configure, make, and make install commands.
Updates to the plugin include KDE-4 Port with version 0.8 exclusively for KDE-4. There's also been a GUI redesign due to the port, along with small fixes. This Kopete OTR Plugin review shows that it is a reliable extension that provides a secure means of communicating.
