The Debian Developer's Reference clearly stats that Developers must inform other developers about new/prospective packages, so cheers, here we go. > Also, the current "ircd" package has a "Replaces: ircd-dalnet" -- I'm not > sure this is actually what you want (files from ircd will have precedence > when both packages are installed at the same time). > ircd-dalnet went away shortly after Potato released, so i doubt that there are still much people around using it.
