LPC-language

[dworkin]

I have started a new organization on Github called LPC-language. Currently it comprises the Asheron's Call emulator (never completed) and various repositories for the (alpha) signal-server project, a rewrite from scratch of the Signal messenger app server in LPC.

The LPC-language organization is intended for LPC projects that I might collaborate on with others.

Where is Hydra now?

Website, free 32-bit binaries here. To run signal-server, you need cloudlib, put signal-server under /usr/MsgServer, plus a bunch of extensions (crypto, libsignal, optionally zlib & jit). Libsignal expects the checkout of the main extensions to be at ext, not lpc-ext, in the same toplevel directory.

I don't currently have much time, but I will write documentation about what signal-server can currently do and how to install it (or perhaps a container recipe for that purpose).

The README now takes you through the steps for installing signal-server, and there are pre-built modules for Hydra i386 here (requires openssl 3).

Is is feasible that someone could backport signal-server to an open-source version DGD? Or is it too attached to Hydra features?

I'm still very involved in the cryptographic security industry (day job), and having a heterogenous open source code for the signal protocol could be powerful. But they are not interested unless it is fully open source.

DGD and Hydra are fully compatible. Everything works on DGD.
