I provide occasional Nitro builds here. Nitro is a mighty cool Jabber client for Mac OS X.

Nitro is written by Dave "DizzyD" Smith and a bunch of other brave contributors. I don't do anything but build and package Nitro once in a while when I need to update the version I use on my powerbook.

Why use a development build?!

Because it has different bugs than the last proper release...

Recent changes includes much better logging features and numerous other improvements and fixes. GPG support has been taken out again awaiting implementation of a proper E2E jabber standard.

Build instructions

Follow the cvs instructions to checkout "acid" and "nitro" into for example ~/src/acid/ and ~/src/nitro/

First compile acid and then nitro and you just might possible be good to play.
