Bug#1003510: ITP: ricochet-refresh -- Anonymous, private, E2E encrypted instant messenger over Tor
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Marco Simonelli <marco@blueprintforfreespeech.net>
* Package name : ricochet-refresh
Version : 3.0.11
Upstream Author : Blueprint for Free Speech

* URL : https://www.ricochetrefresh.net
* License : Ricochet Refresh License
Programming Lang: C++
Description : Anonymous, private, E2E encrypted instant messenger
over Tor
Ricochet Refresh is the new and improved version of Ricochet (see debian
package ricochet-im), sponsored by Blueprint for Free Speech. The original
Ricochet has become obsolete due to the deprecation of V2 Onion services -
Ricochet Refresh resolves this by bringing Ricochet to the new age of V3
Onion services, and implementing new functionality such as file transfers.
NB: The original Ricochet project (see:
https://github.com/ricochet-im/ricochet)
has been abandoned, with the last commit being 3.5 years ago. As of the
middle
of last year, the original Ricochet no longer works, as V2 onions have been
disabled in all Tor clients/nodes.
Source for Ricochet Refresh can be found at
https://github.com/blueprint-freespeech/ricochet-refresh
Debian packaging has already been set up for the project (see the debian/
folder in the source), lintian tests pass and the app appears to install
successfully, - and this will be maintained by the team working on Ricochet
Refresh at Blueprint (and of course, contributions are always welcome).
NB: For contact regarding the debian packaging, please email myself at
<marco@blueprintforfreespeech.net>, and for any other queries regarding the
project, email either Richard <richard@blueprintforfreespeech.net> or
myself :)
Regards,
Marco
