The hunt for a console client
Posted: 20 May 2010, 12:02
Thought i do a small post about something thats missing these days on direct connect
As standards gets updated some projects becomes incompatible with the current protocol and users gets mad for things not working as they dont in the past.
This is whats happened to a client called microdc2 as time has gone on and no updates has come to this client its fallen behind now incapable of downloading uploading from DC++
https://bugs.launchpad.net/dcplusplus/+bug/582929
and no alternatives in sight since nanodc hasnt updated thier client for 2 whole years safe to say that project is dead however new clients pops up very often but not a minimal console client this must be very frustrating for linux users that wants a console client so if you are a developer that wanna do a client do a console client my guess that you will have a fanbase pretty fast with request up to your ears
a simple start is to base it of the dclib 50% of the work is already done basicly that way you get all the nessary protocols like adc adcs nmdc right out of the box..
anyways just a small rant from me now off to work again cyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
p.s for every person that really want a console client comment this post lets see how large the demand is
