lijab
A line oriented extensible jabber client.
Disclaimer
This program carries a big Works For Me™ sign, and is tested in very little configurations, so messages may be lost, misrouted, eaten, etc.
Use at your own risk! :-)
Features
- Tab completion for most things.
- Shiny colors!
- Logging.
- Roster / subscriptions handling.
- Status / priority handling.
- Delivery and display of chat state notifications.
- Hooks (on_message_received, on_message_sent, et al).
- Fairly easy to make new commands in ruby.
- Command aliases
Requirements
- GNU Readline (pretty sure libedit won't work right now).
- A very ansi-compatible terminal, color is probably a good idea.
Gems
- xmpp4r

$ sudo apt-get install ruby1.8-dev rubygems1.8 libreadline-dev libopenssl-ruby

$ sudo gem install palbo-lijab -s http://gems.github.com
Debian/Ubuntu
Also need to do
$ sudo ln -s /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/lijab /usr/bin/lijab
Or put the gems bin dir in your path (e.g. in your .bashrc)

Go complain to them, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libgems-ruby/+bug/145267
Known issues
Usually reconnection works well-ish, but sometimes lijab doesn't realize the connection died so you might have to restart the program.
Bugs
I make an unconscious effort to introduce bugs in all my programs, so people have something to entertain themselves with.
Report bugs in http://palbo.github.com/lijab/issues, github pull request for patches.
