Package: irssi-text
Version: 0.8.9-3.1
Severity: wishlist

Please provide the SILC plugin to irssi (http://penguin-breeder.org/silc/). 
SILC is short for Secure Internet Live Conferencing, a protocol which allows 
you to chat using strongly encrypted connections and secure authentication 
mechanisms. In other words, SILC is a secure IRC variant.

Basically, SILC is just a protocol. However they also maintain a client to 
connect to a SILCNet which is based on Irssi. Thanks to Irssi's modularity 
it is rather easy to extent the client with an additional protocol handler. 
Even better, the protocol can be compiled as a module and loaded during runtime 
in a "normal" Irssi client.

So, what is this plugin about then? Well, it's just a bunch of Makefiles taking 
the SILC client's source and compiling the protocol handler as a module. Of 
course, you could just use the SILC client for SILCNet chatting and Irssi for 
IRCNet chatting, but personally I dislike running more than one chat client 
irregardless of the protocol they use. 

Thanks,
micah

Hi!

I am closing this ITP as the SILC plugin for irssi (binary package
"irssi-plugin-silc") has entered Debian with silc-client on
Sat, 07 Jul 2007.

A backport for etch is also already available on backports.org.

Cheers,
