Packaging Request #2175
Add biboumi to Parabola
0%
Description
I've stumbled upon this piece of software in my search for an XMPP-IRC bridge, it is available in the AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/biboumi/
And (as far as I can tell) it is free software, I've searched the Parabola repos and the issue tracker and haven't found anything about it, hence why I'm opening this issue.
History
Updated by bill-auger about 5 years ago
FWIW i wrote an IRC-to-"everything" bridge a few years back - still works - i compiled it and used it a few months ago
https://github.com/bill-auger/bridgin
also, 'bitlbee', which already is in parabola accomplishes much the same today

I tried both suggested options and they didn't work out as biboumi, also, AFAIK bitlbee is useless as a bot...
I tried biboumi on my Arch GNU/Linux workstation, and it worked fine, I just don't want to have to always manually compile it for my server, is there a chance for it to be added to Parabola?

Well, I got matterbridge to work, so I don't think this is really needed, anyhow, you know better.

- Status changed from open to not-a-bug
in most cases where two programs have exactly the same functionality, i would say that any distro only needs one of them
parabola does not have any packaging automation, so every new package adds to the human workload
