The Debian -package now uses this mode by default, instead of inetd mode. If you don't -want to use this, you can disable the init scripts (best way to do this is -by editing /etc/default/bitlbee) and restore the inetd.conf entry. This -should be necessary only once, it won't be touched during upgrades. - -Another important change in BitlBee 1.2 is the file format used for your -personal settings. Everything's now saved in a single .xml (per account, -of course) file instead of $nick.accounts and $nick.nicks. One advantage -of this new format is that the passwords are actually encrypted instead of -just vaguely obfuscated. BitlBee can still read the old files, and will -save things in the new format when you save/disconnect. After that, you -can safely remove the old-style files (this is recommended). - -I tried making this transition (the new file format but especially, in this -case, the inetd->forkdaemon mode change) as smooth as possible, but I'm -aware that many BitlBee users will have their own hacks already to run the -program. I hope the package won't break any of this for anyone. 1.2-2 -should fix at least some of the issues. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Debconf should have asked you on what port you want BitlBee to run. If it -did not, the port number should be 6667 or 6668. (6668 if you already got -something running at 6667) - -Fire up your favourite IRC client and connect to localhost:6667 (or 6668), +Fire up your favourite IRC client and connect to localhost:6667, and read the documentation (type help for a list of commands).
