Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org Usertags: rm I would like to request the removal of the package irssi-plugin-otr, the reasons being: 1. there is a +3 year outstanding security issue with emotes being sent in the clear: #569506 2. there is an almost 3-year outstanding issue with dataloss due to regular and frequent segfaults (bringing down all of irssi and all state) with it: #576696 3. i haven't bothered to file a bug about the awful memory leaks 4. none of the above are ever going to be resolved, based on upstream's apparent abandoning of the code 5. there is a new irssi-plugin-otr that is about to be released, it is a complete re-write that has none of these issues and is actually quite stable. Having this broken one in wheezy forever is going to cause confusion and unhappy upstream. I've discussed the state of the debian situation with them, and they would like to have the existing one removed: #695150 It has the same version as in squeeze, and there has been no upload since 2009, and has no r-deps. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
