This has been discussed before, after you proposed to do this on 'Mon, 17 Nov 1997 07:34:31 -0500'. The outcome was that it might be too dangerous to package a program that can do as much damage as an IRC bot can do when it is improperly configured. You might want to check out the discussion at http://www.nl.debian.org/Lists-Archives/debian-devel-9711/threads.html#00801 The consensus about this may have changed since then, so I'm not saying you should not package it. However, think twice and discuss it on debian-devel before you do so. Remco -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
