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

#1

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
