Ping me before you do that.

Read: While I'm a somewhat active user of this program and also the underlying
libnet-xmpp-perl, given my real-life constraints I should be carefull about
increasing my commitment for Debian. But before we loose this package ..

If anybody else wishes to take over, go ahead.

Bug#868447: O: sendxmpp -- commandline XMPP (jabber) utility

[Guus Sliepen]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal

I intend to orphan the sendxmpp package.

The package description is:
 sendxmpp is a perl script to send XMPP (jabber) messages, similar to what
 mail(1) does for mail. XMPP is an open, non-proprietary protocol for instant
 messaging. See www.jabber.org for more information.

Unfortunately, I cannot give it the help it needs since I do not use
Jabber myself. The package is very useful if you want to send messages
to a Jabber service via the command line. However, it suffers from
several RC bugs which need attention. Upstream is also not very active.

If noone steps up, I will file a RM request in the current release
cycle.
