Bug#1018754: telegram-cli: Outdated app that is no longer supported

[Ying-Chun Liu (PaulLiu)]

Hi Axel,

Neither szqdong nor kenorb-contrib is working.
I've tried both.

1. Purge libtgl*, telegram-cli, libtl-parser*, tl-parser.
2. git clone --recursive <git URL>
3. ./configure; make
4. ./bin/telegram-cli



Yours,
Paul

And both of them are not working. So I think we might need to really look into what causes the failure.

Hi,

I don't think it will be fixed,

The original developer clearly seems to have stalled working on it:

https://github.com/vysheng/tg says last commit was on Mar 23, 2016.

But there seem at least two very active forks:

* https://github.com/szqdong/tg
* https://github.com/kenorb-contrib/tg

Last commit in both is from 2022 Jul 26. (It's the same commit of
kenorb — not kenorb-contrib — in both cases.)

I'm though not sure which of these would be better to base the package
on in the future.
