There are also bridges between XMPP and Matrix too.
The XMPP Team is also very active by adding new upstream versions into Debian and upload to backports. https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-xmpp-devel%40lists.alioth.debian.org You can also find some more information about the upstream projects in the blog post from 13 July 2021: https://xmpp-team.pages.debian.net/blog/2021/07/xmpp-novelties-in-debian-11-bullseye.html New version are available for dino-im, gajim, profanity on backports. Also prosody and ejabberd server. biboumi is an XMPP-IRC gateway. There is also an ITP for spectrum2. #672699 Maybe one footnote (I'm a XMPP user, not matrix): AFAIK Matrix says it's a "message store" and not a messaging protocol. I'm not sure if a "message store" is required. I think a messaging protocol is fine. > For using the xmpp irc bridge, see https://irc.cheogram.com for the mapping > syntax.
