  Description     : client/server network library for multiplayer games

yojimbo is a network library for client/server games with dedicated
servers: encrypted and authenticated UDP connections (via netcode),
acks and packet fragmentation (via reliable), reliable-ordered and
unreliable-unordered message channels over a bitpacked serializer (via
serialize), and per-client memory silos so one client cannot starve
another. Encryption and authentication are on by default. Stable and
production ready, in use by shipped games for ten years.

Build-depends on libserialize-dev, libreliable-dev and libnetcode-dev
(ITPs filed separately); this upload follows their acceptance. The
vendored copies of those libraries and of libsodium are stripped from
the source tarball. I am the upstream author, will maintain the
package, and am looking for a sponsor.
