Package: wnpp Severity: normal I'm the packager of this software as well as the upstream author. The Yahoo! Chess service has been permanently closed, so this software is now defunct. This package should probably be removed from Debian entirely as it serves no function anymore.
I uploaded the package as a mentee, so I lack the ability to manipulate the package myself. -- Package: yics 0.1.2-3 Yahoo! Chess client for use with FICS interfaces This program connects to any of the free Yahoo! Chess lobbies and pretends to be a FICS server, allowing many of the free FICS interfaces to be used on Yahoo! Chess. YICS can be thought of as a protocol translator or adapter: the binary Yahoo! Games protocol goes in one end and the FICS server protocol comes out the other, and vice-versa. . YICS was tested the most with xboard, and works quite well with it. If you prefer, you can use YICS without any graphical interface just as you can telnet to FICS. -- -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Crazycomputers If you correspond with me on a regular basis, please read this document: http://www.chrishowie.com/email-preferences/ PGP fingerprint: 2B7A B280 8B12 21CC 260A DF65 6FCE 505A CF83 38F5 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT INFORMATION/DISCLAIMER This document should be read only by those persons to whom it is addressed.
