bitlbee-libpurple - 3.6-1.5 main

This program can be used as an IRC server which forwards everything you
say to people on other chat networks: Jabber (which includes Google
Talk), and Twitter.
.
This package contains a version of BitlBee that uses the libpurple instant
messaging library instead of built-in code, which adds support for more IM
protocols (all protocols supported by Pidgin/Finch) and features (like file
transfers), at the price of being less lightweight.
.
If you don't need the extra features, it's better to use the built-in code.
