Bug#348456: RFA: ircii-pana -- Advanced Internet Relay Chat client
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I'm looking for someone who uses ircii-pana (bitchx). It's in good shape:
the latest version is already in Debian, I'm about to upload a fix for the
only RC bug, and I still use it every day. But I haven't had any interest
in hacking on it in ages. It could use a maintainer who cares a small bit
more than I do. Bonus points for anyone who thinks the impoliter messages
are completely appropriate for a package with this name.
The (humourously outdated) package description is:
This is the bleeding edge of IRC software -- the most common
functions normally done by scripts are coded into the client itself.
It contains dozens of features such as:
.
* Built-in ANSI color (this is probably the biggest feature)
* Ease of use -- dozens of useful command aliases to reduce typing
* Built-in notify, protection, and bot lists
* Built-in mass commands and tools
* Extended set of DCC commands and built-in CDCC offering
* Extended scripting functionality, including unique functions
* Code is based on ircII-Plutonium and more recent ircII-EPIC
.
