1       net/parla: DeltaChat email instant messaging client in GTK4/Vala

        upstream: https://github.com/trufae/parla

2       net/deltachat-rpc-server: DeltaChat JSON-RPC server in Rust
        (deltachat-rpc-server and deltachat-repl components only)

        upstream: https://github.com/chatmail/core

Delta Chat (https://delta.chat) is an encrypted instant messaging system with clients for Android/IOS/Desktop. The Desktop client uses Electron so is not available for OpenBSD, but the JSON-RPC variant is a lighter alternative.

It's possible to use your own email server as a relay but upstream are concentrating on providing 'chatmail' servers (default for registering new 'accounts', anonymously) to reduce support burden.

deltachat-rpc-server requires USE_NOEXECONLY to get around issues with the awc-lc-rs TLS crate used by default by rustls. It is possible to patch to use ring to avoid NOEXECONLY but I guess that's a heavier maintenance burden pending awc-lc-sys upstream fixing the issue.

Tested on amd64 7.9-current and -stable
Testers and comments welcome

Regards,
Chris Billington
