Bug#745311: RFA: ekg2 -- instant messenger and IRC client for UNIX systems
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the ekg2 package.
I no longer use it and don't have time to maintain it.
The package description is:
EKG2 is an open source instant messenger program for UNIX systems. The program
has a plugin-based structure, and supports multiple protocols, currently
Jabber, ICQ, Gadu-Gadu, IRC, RivChat, PolChat, NNTP and RSS. Also a generic
filesystem-based communication mechanism called "xmsg" is supported.
.
The program has many useful features. Here is a list - unless specified they
are included in the ekg2-core package.
- irssi-like ncurses interface, with mouse support [ekg2-ui-ncurses]
- experimental GTK+ interface [ekg2-ui-gtk]
- experimental HTTP interface
- experimental 'remote' interface [ekg2-remote]
- spell checking [ekg2-ui-ncurses]
- "remote control" via pipe or socket
- XOSD support [ekg2-xosd]
- jogger.pl blog update support
- a simple CAPTCHA (autoresponder)
- Python and Perl scripting [ekg2-scripting-python, ekg2-scripting-perl]
- launching shell commands on certain events
- encryption support (SIM, GnuPG, ROT13) [ekg2-core, ekg2-gnupg]
- logging to SQLite, plain text or XML files
- sending SMs (using an external program such as sms-pl)
- mail checking
.
This is a meta-package which depends on a set of commonly used EKG2 packages.
