Package: wnpp Severity: normal InspIRCd is an advanced modular IRC daemon that no active members on the pkg-irc team have an interest in anymore (we are mostly interested in IRC clients and tools than daemons now).
Please note that adopting this package means that you will have to support it during lenny, which may require patch authoring on your part, depending on how quickly the inspircd developers drop inspircd 1.1 maintainance. It is likely that the inspircd development team will drop support for 1.1 during lenny's lifecycle (which is expected to be at least 2-3 years). Packaging InspIRCd 1.1 is especially complex due to design decisions taken by the InspIRCd developers during the 1.1 branch, which result in invasive modifications being required in order to ensure Debian policy compliance. On top of this, upstream tends to become cranky whenever their releases are patched. InspIRCd 1.2 will likely be easier to maintain in Debian, but is not yet ready for inclusion due to being too new. Since most users of InspIRCd will likely be compiling with custom settings, there is probably no real value in having this package. If nobody takes this package by December 9, 2008, I will file a bug to remove it from Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
