Package: wnpp Severity: normal I am not able to do full justice to all my packages, as things are a bit busy right now. Freehoo depends on the (currently) broken package libyahoo2. Freehoo has not seen any activity upstream in quite sometime, and has several grave bugs outstanding in the BTS. I would be tempted to completely remove this package, but want to initially orphan this, just in case there are aficionados of this package, who are able to provide it TLC.
The package description is: Purely console based Yahoo messenger client application which has geeky "readline" and "guile" interfaces. It connects to the Yahoo server using the "libyahoo" library. . Freehoo is highly extensible through the scheme language. Readline support means that it has powerful command-line editing and history features. It supports almost all of the features of the conventional Yahoo messenger for example email alert, conference, ignore, etc. It also has numerous additional features not contained in the original client. . Freehoo was formerly called gnuyahoo, whose name was changed due to concerns about trademarks. The old gnuyahoo debian package is deprecated and exists only as a dummy package to install freehoo, but will be dropped in future.
