Product     : Fedora 23
Version     : 1.0
Release     : 2.fc23
URL         : https://smuxi.im
Summary     : Powerful, flexible, user-friendly chat client
Description :
Smuxi is an open-source, powerful, flexible, and user-friendly chat client
created by Mirco Bauer and developed by other contributors.
Inspired by the combination of screen and irssi, Smuxi has a detachable server
(or like a "normal" client) that stays connected when you aren't, and
can allow multiple Smuxi front-ends (like the GNOME front-end, or
STFL text-based front-end) to be connected and in sync.
This is similar to screen+irssi or IRC bouncers, but more elegant and powerful.

automatically (bz#1257597)
