[PKG-IRC-Maintainers] Bug#780880: squeeze update of inspircd?

[Adam]

Hi,

InspIRCd is a rather fast moving project. 1.1 has been considered EOL by us
for over 6 years (and considered “old” for 8), and we don’t have anyone left
who developed 1.1, or have anyone with any working knowledge of it in any
way as far as I’m aware. If you want to patch it you’re on your own, we
would recommend removing the package. We think that there are other major
problems with it, but we’ve forgotten what they are.

As far as 2.0.5, I have combined the various commits in the original report
here:
https://github.com/Adam-/inspircd/commit/e953a402add27edfbb31337ee6510b79462
a3c96. I have also made an entire branch forked off of 2.0.5 including
important fixes seen here: https://github.com/Adam-/inspircd/commits/debian7
if you choose to take any of them. The other fixes here are non-security
related, but are stability related.

I do not wish to directly fix this myself, but am open to questions/support
etc.

Adam
