Public bug reported: After a careful review of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements, I believe that anope should be included in main. Our evaluation of IRC daemons led us to anope as the only set of IRC services that is actively maintained and sane.
Package: anope Availability: Present in a useful form as of wily. Rationale: We currently have no IRC daemon in main. This package represents the best available IRC daemon for largescale deployment. Security: No known security reports. Anope seems to be the only IRC services package that is currently being developed and packaged. QA: I am not recommending that this be installed by default. The package documentation makes configuring it relatively straight forward. Issue tracking: https://bugs.debian.org/anope https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anope https://bugs.anope.org/view_all_bug_page.php Dependencies: all in main Standards: meets standards Maintenance: Dominic Hargreaves <d...@earth.li> Background information: Historically, we have used UnrealIRCd, which has a relatively poor security track record. After evaluation of alternatives, we determined that inspircd was the best candidate for our irc needs, with anope providing services. Security history: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=anope ==> nothing http://secunia.com/advisories/search/?search=anope ==> nothing http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/universe.html no entries Security relevant binaries: No setuid/setgid binaries Delivers binaries in /usr/sbin, and starts services. An apparmor profile has been written, and a bug requesting inclusion submitted. No privileged ports are used. ** Affects: anope (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1459692 Title: [MIR] anope To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/anope/+bug/1459692/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
