Contents of README:
BitlBee is an IRC instant messaging gateway licensed under the terms of
the GPL.  It communicates with the end user via the IRC protocol whilst
interacting with popular chat networks such as AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo,
and Jabber. The user's buddies appear as normal IRC users in a channel,
and conversations use the private message facility of IRC.

After your installation you will need to configure bitlbee. There are
two ways starting bitlbee: Either as a forked deamon (preferred), or
the old way of starting it through inetd (mostly deprecated these days).

Bitlbee now includes a standard rc.bitlbee. To have this start on boot-up,
add the following code to /etc/rc.d/rc.local for example

if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.bitlbee ]; then
  /etc/rc.d/rc.bitlbee start
fi

If you choose to use inetd , you need to modify your /etc/inetd.conf
so bitlbee will be started when /etc/rc.d/rc.inetd is called on bootup.
Add the line below to your /etc/inetd.conf file:
	6667	stream	tcp nowait  nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd
	/usr/sbin/bitlbee

Restart inetd (/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart). All that is left to do now
is connect your irc client to the localhost.

if you want to use libevent for events, instead of the default glib,
install libevent and run the script like this:	EVENTS=libevent
./bitlbee.SlackBuild

OTR (Off the record) is not compiled by default. If you want bitlbee
to compile with OTR capabilities, you'll need to install libotr from
Slackware and run the script as follows: OTR=yes ./bitlbee.SlackBuild

From version 3.2 bitlbee offers some form of skype support, even though
this will not ever be part of bitlbee proper. please see the documentation
in protocols/skype in the source package for information. You can run the
script as following: SKYPE=yes ./bitlbee.SlackBuild

NOTE: The default "bot"/bitlbee daemon is called 'root'. This is not
the root user on your system. You can easily change it. Register and
identify yourself first, and then:
	rename root BitlBot (or whatever you want)

NOTE: Since bitlbee now runs as a daemon instead of from inetd, bitlbee
runs under its own user (UID/GID: 250). If you have older databases
of bitlbee, you may want to change the permissions on the files in
/var/lib/bitlbee.
