Bug#745872: ITP: profanity -- a console based XMPP client



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Dariusz Dwornikowski <dariusz.dwornikowski@cs.put.poznan.pl>

* Package name    : profanity
  Version         : 0.4.0
  Upstream Author :  James Booth <boothj5web@gmail.com>
* URL             : http://www.profanity.im/
* License         : GPL-3
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : a console based XMPP client

Profanity is a console based XMPP client written in C using ncurses and
libstrophe, inspired by Irssi. It supports:
* XMPP chat services, including GoogleTalk and Facebook,
* command driven interface,
* customizable functionality and user interface,
* Off the Record message encryption,
* chat room support,
* roster management,
* flexible resource and priority settings,
* desktop notifications,
* unicode support,
* integrated DuckDuckGo search,
* sending tiny URLs,
* plugin written in C, Python, Ruby and Lua.

Since I did not get a response from XMPP packaging team, I will strat packaging
it by myself with a possibility to move to XMPP team when they respond.
Profanity depends on a great XMPP library libstrophe, which is not in Debian
yet. I am currently working on providing a high quality package (ITP 511341),
for that reason I am working with upstream to adjust the source for Debian.
