Olm seems to be deprecated in favor of vodozemac

[Lindisfritjof]

According to https://gitlab.matrix.org/matrix-org/olm/blob/master/README.md libolm is now deprecated in favor of https://github.com/matrix-org/vodozemac - so the documentation on pantalaimon installation might need an update, as it still recommends the olm c library.

Is it possible to use vodozemac with ement.el ?

I can't speak to it working with ement.el, but the vodozemac package is purely rust so it wouldn't be easy to replace olm with it in this package. We'd have to write a whole wrapper around it.

[chookity-pokk]

It seems there is a package with python bindings but there is no documentation. I can reach out about it. Though it seems like it would be as simple as a pip install so it should work with ement.el.

Okay - thanks! I will give that a spin and see if it works.

[chookity-pokk]

It won't work because the python bindings have to be integrated into Pantalaimon. There is work to be done to get rid of Olm and replace is with Vodozemac.

Oh, OK - that explains why I couldn't get it to work.
Since I don't have the skills, I will just have to wait until a) I learn enough to be able to work on this or b) someone with the skillset does.
Thanks for taking the time to explain @chookity-pokk :)
