Bug#213361: RFS: kbtin (new)
Meow?
I'd like to ask for a sponsor for new package "kbtin". It's a MUD client,
something that once was deemed dead, but judging by a recent influx of
support requests, it is certainly not dead yet. Apparently, some people
still prefer books (text games) to TV (mmorpgs).
The package is lintian clean, ITP is #213361.
It can be grabbed from:
URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kbtin
deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main
dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/k/kbtin/kbtin_1.0.13.1-1.dsc
It's a fork of existing package tintin++, however, these two have forked
over 13 years ago so the codebase has little in common. Compared to
tintin++, KBtin has:
* no known buffer overflows (tintin++ has one for almost every command!)
* SSL support
* better Unicode support, also support for server charset different from
client
* handling of half-messages (split on network packet boundary)
* running local commands (#run a debuild)
and so on.
Uploading this can increase your coolness score!
