* Package name : swirc Version : 3.3.6-1 Upstream Author : Markus Uhlin <markus.uh...@bredband.net> * URL : https://www.nifty-networks.net/swirc/ * License : BSD-3, ISC and MIT. Programming Lang: C and C++ Description : Curses ICB and IRC client Swirc is a BSD licensed, console based and lightweight ICB and IRC client written in C/C++, whose goals are to be portable and secure. Features: - TLS/SSL - Multiple IRCv3 features such as SASL auth mechanism - Themes - And more... The package is useful/relevant because the Debian project provides support via IRC. IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is also a well proven social media that lets the users to be anonymous. ICB (Internet Citizen's Band) is a less common chat protocol similar to IRC. It's used by the OpenBSD project. Swirc can act both as an ICB and IRC client. I plan to maintain Swirc using my best efforts to keep it safe and sensible. I'm not looking for co-maintainers, but feedback is always good. I'm however looking for a SPONSOR!
