Description phoen][x 2002-05-01 03:38:52 UTC

net-irc/erc - THE emacs irc client. 

You use emacs? you have to try this thingy. i installed it yesterday and 
didnt start my nice epic4 until now. it has an emacs style configuration 
(M-x customize-groups RET erc RET) where you do your whole personal stuff 
(fex nickname, server, colors, ignorelist, blahblah). after that do an M-x 
erc-select, and it should ask you about server/port/nick (with your default 
values filled in). It'll connect to the irc-server you specified. 
Now it's up to you which channels to join, etc...

Really nifty is that you can use it with window-splitting (for example 
query a pal in a small slpitscreen and chat in #gentoo in the meantime) - 
There's also a speedbar modification which i havent tried yet.

okay, thats it till now :)

ahh, forgot to mention: the erc developers dont supply daily snapshots, 
thats why i had to make one myself. in order to make the ebuild work, is 
has to be put to the ibiblio.org mirror.

Comment 4 phoen][x 2002-05-02 04:27:18 UTC

got any other good emacs tools which you want in gentoo? i'm currently looking 
for some, so feel free to contact me. maybe a documentation package (most stuff 
is kinda hard to configure, iir my gnus configruation tasks :/)

phoen][x,

I can't name anything off the top of my head, but definately go ahead and create
bug reports for emacs or xemacs packages you'd like to see in portage. A gnus
config tool sounds cool. Assign them directly to me if you like.
