Package: rageircd
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream help
rageircd can use a variety of io-engines. For this package, the
relevant engines are epoll, which requires a 2.6 kernel but works
fine, and rtsigio, which can run on a 2.4 kernel but sometimes behaves
weirdly (see #333333).
Unfortunately, Debian still has to use rtsigio through the life of
Debian etch (see #377697 and
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2006/07/msg00005.html).
Since rageircd selects its io-engine at compile time, this prevents
epoll from being used without a local re-build of the package (which
is reasonably easy since infrastructure is present in the package).
It would be much nicer if rageircd would try using epoll by default
and automatically fall back to rtsigio on a 2.4 kernel. I would be
most grateful if somebody would patch rageircd to do this check at run
time.
Greetings
Marc

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in Debian, and sorry that the bugs were not
attended in due time.
rageircd was removed from Debian unstable long ago [1], 5+ years, from
experimental recently [2], and is dead upstream since 2005 [3].

[2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=679261
[3] http://sourceforge.net/projects/rageircd/files/
The bugs are now orphan (no maintainer assigned), so they are not
going to be noticed by anybody and dealt with. I am thus closing them
now.
Regards.
