            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 u=
se
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 t=
he
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
