This the one of the patches that i wrote for Gaim. This basically allows you to send large files to other Yahoo messenger users.

Download here. This has been made against Gaim 1.0.3 but should work for 1.0.2 and some of the earlier ones too. If you need the patch against the CVS copy, then just drop me a mail at radical at corewars dot org.

To apply it,

1. Get the source from the Gaim website.
2. Uncompress it: $ bzcat gaim-1.0.3.tar.bz2|tar -x
3. $ cd gaim-1.0.3
4. $ cat gaim-big-ft-1.0.3.patch |patch -p1

Then the usual, ./configure, make, make install cycle!

This patch is not yet complete, though it works. Just need to work on the "fallback" mechanism i.e., incase it cant connect directly then it should try to upload the file to the yahoo webserver and send the link across to the other user.

In case of any problems or suggestions or bug-reports feel free to contact me at radical at corewars dot org.
