A package was submitted to savannah.nongnu.org
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


M.P.Anand Babu <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: FreeHoo
System name: freehoo
Type: non-GNU

Description:
FreeHoo is a free console based messenger for Yahoo IM protocol with 
a geeky \"readline\" and \"guile\" extension interface. 

FreeHoo already exist in the name of GNUYahoo. GNUYahoo was started 
when sourceforge.net was free and was my /tmp. Today this software
is mature and production stable. 
 
GNUYahoo is bad, for of 2 reasons. 
(1) It is currently hosted at sourceforge.net which became
    proprietary software. 
(2) Using Yahoo as a part of free software name is bad. 

So we decided to move to savannah as Freehoo.

Other Software Required:
libreadline
libguile
glib
libyahoo2 (also free <libyahoo2.sf.net>). 


Other Comments:
Libyahoo2 is also free software and I will convince them to move from 
sourceforge.net to savannah.gnu.org.
