Bug#725731: RM: irssi-plugin-otr/0.3-2
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: rm
The pre-1.0 versions of the OTR plugin are very broken for all
software (xchat, irssi, etc) and are considered insecure as OTRv1 is
susceptible to downgrade attacks (if my memory is correct).
I have been asked by numerous users to remove xchat-otr from squeeze,
so here it the formal request. I am going to backport the irssi-otr
plugin to wheezy soon, if if there are enough requests, to
squeeze-sloppy-backports too.
Note, however, that the new version of the package doesn't support
xchat anymore, but that is because upstream was never updated.
