Yes, it's in active development again. But at this time it can't receive online messages via tcp v8 protocol. That makes mICQ unsuitable for woody right now IMHO. I hope it gets fixed soon, I really would like to see mICQ again in Debian. I would like to take the package to include it again in Debian if all issues with ICQ v8 are solved. I will prepare beta packages this week, drop me a line if you consider that it should be uploaded, of if it's better to wait for a full-working version. A message from upstream about latest micq release is attached. Cheers, pd. Martin, #137723 already fixed, it will be uploaded by my sponsor today.

Hi everybody, I just want to let you know that I officially took over maintainership of mICQ, which is what I was de facto the whole time anyway. At the same time, I want to let you now that I released two new versions of micq. The first, micq-0.4.8pl1, just fixes the glitch of not creating ~/.micq/ when creating a new config file. This is now stable-0.4.8. The second, micq-0.4.8pl2, has basic support for v8 of the ICQ protocol. To enable, all you have to do is to set the "version" field of your "server" connection to "8" in ~/.micq/micqrc. It can do: * send the contact list * receive online/offline/status changes * send text/url/auth messages * recognize micq/licq versions of contacts (licq will recognize micq as 0.48.2 right now) Unknown incoming packets will be dumped (yes this includes incoming messages for now). Note that commands that aren't supported yet will give an error message. If you want support for more, this is exactly the right moment to send patches. Patch src/*snac.c to support other SNACs (packet types), and/or change the command in cmd_user.c to use the new SNAC if v8. Doing improvements with so little effort won't ever be so easy again. Now, go to http://www.micq.org/download.shtml http://micq.probleme.net/download.shtml http://micq.alpha345.com/download.shtml http://v6.sow.as/download.shtml and fetch it while it's hot! Yours, R?diger. -- 100 DM sind 51 ? 13 ?. 100 ? sind 195 DM 58 pf. mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ruediger-kuhlmann.de/
