Just for the records:

libpurple-signald may have become more or less obsolete.

Upstream added some warning[0] that signald (which is used by the
plugin) seems to have become unreliable and looses messages.

At the same time the guy wrote a new purple plugin:
https://github.com/hoehermann/purple-presage
which uses presage, which is a Rust library for interacting with
Signal.


Cheers,
Chris.
