Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: cen1 <[email protected]> X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] * Package name : libbncsutil Version : 1.4.4 Upstream Contact: cen1 <[email protected]> * URL : github.com/BNETDocs/bncsutil * License : LGPL Programming Lang: C, C++ Description : Battle.net Chat Service Utility library Battle.net Chat Service Utility library. BNCSUtil aids applications trying to log on to Classic Battle.net using the binary protocol. It provides cryptographic operations for game version checking, CD key validation, and SRP-based password handling (NLS) for Warcraft III, StarCraft, Diablo II, and other Blizzard games. This package contains the C/C++ development headers and CMake package configuration files (bncsutilConfig.cmake) needed to build applications against libbncsutil. Bncsutil is two decades old C/C++ library used by various bnet chat bots and GHost++ game hosting bots. The library is essentially feature complete with only minor build fixes in recent years. I am the current upstream maintainer together with some folks from bnetdocs.org project. It's not expected for this library to be used in a lot of dependant packages but it would simplify development of classic bnet bots in this specific niche community. I am willing to maintain the package via mentorship if I manage to find one.
