Bug#771236: please unblock xchat 2.8.8-7.3 or maybe remove
Package: release.debian.org
User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org
Usertags: unblock
Please unblock package xchat. Its been 16 days in unstable after an NMU
upload by Sven Hoexter. Sven fixed #766005 (severity important) which
allows users to connect via SSL to IRC servers which have SSLv3
disabled.
It would be nice to have this in Jessie. The alternative would be to
use Hexchat. That one is a xchat fork and seems to have more active
upstream (last release on 28-Aug-2010 for xchat vs 25 Nov 2014 for
Hexchat) and it leads to the question why to keep xchat.
