+Description: This patch forces KMess to use SSLv3.
+ This patch is needed because with recent versions of openssl kmess disconnects
+ and connects again each minute: http://bugs.debian.org/697918
+ Downgrading openssl to an older version solves the problem, however, this isn't
+ probably a bug in openssl but in the MSN servers, see:
+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=666012#31
+ .
+ For the record, emesene had the same problem and their upstream developers
+ solved the problem doing the same, just using SSLv3.
+Forwarded: yes, but upstream isn't maintaining the program anymore
