Empathy is unmaintained and was moved to GNOME's attic.
Plenty of other IM clients are available.
|
|
Development on this stopped in favour of Empathy and other clients many
years ago. Due to recent protocol changes, unmaintained ICQ clients cannot
be expected to continue working.
|
|
This services package is very old and unmaintained.
Supposedly it doesn't work without -fno-stack-protector. Not a good sign.
If I have my IRC history right, chat/anope is a fork of epona, which was a
fork of this.

The Steam protocol plugin for bitlbee. This plugin uses the Steam Mobile
API allowing it to run alongside the main Steam client. It is worth noting
that the Steam Mobile API is HTTP based, which does lead to mild latency.

|
The Mastodon protocol plugin for bitlbee.
|
|
The Facebook protocol plugin for bitlbee.
This plugin uses the Facebook Messenger MQTT-based protocol.
This project is not affiliated with Facebook, Inc.

The Discord protocol plugin for bitlbee.

licq has not been able to connect to ICQ servers since 28th December 2018,
while upstream discontinued development in 2014 and has no plans to start
over.
Also, these packages have not been updated since 2007, so I doubt anyone
has used this in a long time.

AOL(R) Instant Messenger(TM) was shut down in 2017.
|

MSN Messenger is dead.
This version is from 2005 and isn't the most recent release (last release:
0.97, in 2011, just before MSN died), but all of them will fail to build
once the world goes fully OpenSSL 1.1.

This hasn't been updated since 2005, the HOMEPAGE and MASTER_SITES are
dead, and the DESCR describes it as alpha-quality. It's also failing to
build.
As far as other packaging systems go, I can only find this in FreeBSD
Ports, where it was removed.
I can't find anything that depends on it, either.

Quassel IRC is a modern, cross-platform, distributed IRC client
based on the Qt framework.
Distributed means that one (or multiple) client(s) can attach to
and detach from a central core that stays permanently online --
much like the popular combination of screen and a text-based IRC
client such as WeeChat, and similar to (but much more featureful
than) so-called BNCs. Re-attaching your client will show your IRC
session in the same state as you left it in (plus whatever happened
while you were gone), and this even when you re-attach from a
different location.
In addition, Quassel IRC can be used like a traditional client,
with providing both client and core functionality in one binary.
This so-called "Monolithic Client" completely hides the distributed
nature, so for a purely local installation, Quassel IRC can be
setup very easily.

Some assistance and feedback with packaging from the inspircd
maintainer, thanks.
InspIRCd is a modular Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server.
It was created from scratch to be stable, modern and lightweight.
It avoids a number of design flaws and performance issues that
plague other more established projects, such as UnrealIRCd, while
providing the same level of feature parity.

XChat's development has been dead for nearly a decade now.
chat/hexchat is an actively maintained fork and features many bug and
security fixes and support for newer protocol features. Users of XChat
should migrate to HexChat, or rather, should have migrated several
years ago.
A blog post exists by HexChat's maintainer where Debian's packaging of
both is discussed:

CenterIM is a text-mode multi-protocol instant messaging client
for Linux, *BSD, Solaris and other Unices. The program supports
most of widely used IM protocols, including AIM, ICQ, IRC, QQ,
Skype, XMPP (Jabber).
CenterIM is a powerful communication tool that can be used through
SSH, without the need for VNC/Remote Desktop. CenterIM started as
a fork of CenterICQ.
Development has ceased on CenterIM4 in favor of CenterIM5, which
is a ground up rewrite and uses the libpurple library as a
communication backend.

If you have multiple devices and want messages sent and received
by one device show up on all others, XEP-0280: Message Carbons is
what you are looking for.
This is an experimental XMPP XEP-0280: Message Carbons plugin for
libpurple (Pidgin, Finch, etc.)

This has been marked BROKEN as using this package (a third-party client) will
get your account banned. The status of this hasn't changed according to
upstream, which has also intentionally broken the build.

In German, an Axolotl is a type of Lurch, which simply means
'amphibian'. This plugin brings Axolotl, by now renamed to double
ratchet, to libpurple applications such as Pidgin by implementing
the XEP-0384: OMEMO Encryption.
|
|
OMEMO is an XMPP Extension Protocol (XEP) for secure multi-client
end-to-end encryption. It is an open standard based on a Double Ratchet
