Bug#762430: RFP: ricochet -- anonymous and serverless instant messaging



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : ricochet
  Version         : n/a (git 
  Upstream Author : Name <somebody@example.org>
* URL             : github.com/ricochet-im/ricochet/
* License         : BSD
  Programming Lang: C++
  Description     : anonymous and serverless instant messaging

This tool is inspired by TorChat, and allow people and computers to talk
to each other using TOR hidden services, making it very hard to collect
metadata on who is talking to who, and what they are saying to each other.

This tools is covered in a Wired article available from
<URL: http://www.wired.com/2014/09/new-encrypted-chat-program-thwarts-nsa-eliminating-metadata/ >.

I tried building the source in Jessie, and the C++ code build just fine
with a dh-make made build framework, but I have not been able to get it
to run yet.  Probably some incorrect paths for the installed binary.
