Hi there! I was poking around the bitchx sources to see if I could make a new package since the current one is somewhat (lightly put) outdated. After some studying I discovered that there are many things not present in the bitchx sources, but that are common to all irc clients. Things like scripts and helpfiles could be shared by multiple clients. The current bitchx source use the helfiles from epic, for example. Maintaining bitchx (and possibly other clients) would be quiete easy if we did the same for irc as was done for fvwm and related window managers: we can make an irci-common package which is shared by multiple irc clients. Each client need only depend on ircii-common and supply it's own binaries and client-specific help/scripts. I'm no hero with irc, so if the irc-experts could comment on this proposal, please do so..
