BitchX-1.0c16 SRPM Released --------------------------- I have just finished uploading BitchX-1.0c16 and gtkBitchX-1.0c16 SRPMS to linux-mandrake.com/incoming. For those who don't know, BitchX is the most popular IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client for UNIX. It also runs on OS/2, MacOS, and Win32. On some OSes and configurations, BitchX can have a semi-graphical interface, but is best know for it's not-so-user-friendly curses interface. This release is from the 1.0 development series, but is considered to be as or more stable than 75p3. 1.0 will be the first release since 75p3 was released. This release also includes gtkBitchX, which adds graphical menus and dialogs, as well as multi-windows and a nicklist, to BitchX using gtk+ and gnome-libs (zvt) for term handling. gtkBitchX uses the same codebase as console BitchX, but currently there was no way for me to provide it as one source RPM or .spec. This release includes literally hundreds of changes from 75p3, including scr-bx, which provides a way for users to detach BitchX and reattach to the process at a later time, and gtkBitchX which was mentioned above. NOTE: The tarball in the two SRPMS is NOT the pristine 1.0c16 source, and you will not find this incarnation anywhere else. This release includes various changed I have made, a lot of which will make it into the 1.0 release. Some of these changes I consider important (and some of the installation was important to Linux Mandrake in particular) which is why I uploaded this version. I say this so no one worries upon finding out that it differs some from the original tarball, and also to say this is a WIP, so DO NOT bother the BitchX author with any stupid mistakes that have been made, because it is probably something I did, so please bother me instead. That having been said, I hope you enjoy, and will include this in Cooker (I had hoped to have it in before the 7.1 freeze). -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
