Bug#761643: RFS: libstrophe/0.8.6-1 [ITP]
Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: wishlist
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "libstrophe" - again. The
last version was rejected because of undocumented licensing. I fixed
these now, after claryfing things with FTP Masters.
NOTE: the package links to OpenSSL but we choose the license to be
MIT, so it is not a violation. The code is however licensed both GPL
and MIT.
* Package name : libstrophe
Version : 0.8.6-1
Upstream Author : Jack Moffit <jack@metajack.im>
* URL : http://strophe.im/libstrophe/
* License : MIT and GPL-3+
Section : libdevel
It builds those binary packages:
libstrophe-dev - Library for writing XMPP clients - development files
libstrophe0 - Library for writing XMPP clients - shared library
libstrophe is a minimal XMPP library written in C. It has almost no
external dependencies, only an XML parsing library (expat or libxml
are both supported). It is designed for both POSIX and Windows
systems.
I worked with libstrophe upstream past months to make it suitable
for Debian. I helped them with autotools, so that shared library is
built along the static one. Encouraged them to tag relases in
github, and together we closed some pull requests.
Libstrophe is used by profanity.im, a console XMPP client inspired
by IRSSI, which I intend to pack too, this week.
