      PortSystem 1.0

      Name: irssi
      Version: 0.8.14
      Revision: 1
      Category: irc
      Maintainers: nomaintainer
      Description: modular IRC client
      Long Description: Irssi is a modular IRC client that currently has only text mode user interface, but 80-90% of the code is not text mode specific, so other UIs could be created pretty easily. Also, Irssi is not really even IRC specific anymore, there's already a working SILC module available. Support for other protocols like ICQ could be created some day too.
