Package: charybdis
Severity: serious
Tags: upstream
After a somewhat long period of uncertainty, Charybdis has been
finally abandoned upstream. The official git repository here:
https://github.com/charybdis-ircd/charybdis
.. is marked as "archived by the owner [and] read-only". It is unclear
what the future of the project will be, but it seems like a bad idea
to rely on it in Debian, in the timeframe of a stable release.
A fork, called Solanum, has been started in an amazing collaboration
by the Freenode and OFTC staff, and looks much more promising. It has,
unfortunately, no official release just yet, so may not be ready for
Debian stable either. And besides, it is not backwards-compatible, so
wouldn't offer a direct replacement.
This bug should not be closed until Charybdis development resumes
upstream. I would also suggest that, if no one picks it up, the
package is just removed from Debian altogether, with a note pointing
to solanum in the release notes.
It's been a good ride though. :)
