Package: irssi-text Version: 0.8.9-3.1 Severity: wishlist Please provide the SILC plugin to irssi (http://penguin-breeder.org/silc/). SILC is short for Secure Internet Live Conferencing, a protocol which allows you to chat using strongly encrypted connections and secure authentication mechanisms. In other words, SILC is a secure IRC variant.
Basically, SILC is just a protocol. However they also maintain a client to connect to a SILCNet which is based on Irssi. Thanks to Irssi's modularity it is rather easy to extent the client with an additional protocol handler. Even better, the protocol can be compiled as a module and loaded during runtime in a "normal" Irssi client. So, what is this plugin about then? Well, it's just a bunch of Makefiles taking the SILC client's source and compiling the protocol handler as a module. Of course, you could just use the SILC client for SILCNet chatting and Irssi for IRCNet chatting, but personally I dislike running more than one chat client irregardless of the protocol they use.
