Bug#698807: RFP: anope -- Anope is a set of IRC Services designed for flexibility and ease of use

  Description     : Anope is a set of IRC Services designed for flexibility and ease of use

Anope provides implementations of the following IRC services:

* NickServ - nickname management services
* ChanServ - channel management services
* MemoServ - send memos to users or channels
* OperServ - operator utility services
* BotServ - channel bot services
* HostServ - virtual host services

Note: this is being recommended by the ircd-hybrid project instead of
hybserv, which is not being actively developed any more. The 1.8.x branch
(maintained at https://github.com/anope/anope/) contains unreleased code
which includes support for ircd-hybrid 8 (which is currently in Debian
experimental, maintained by me) so it may be appropriate to cherry-pick
some patches from git to get a working services implementation for
ircd-hybrid 8 in Debian pending a stable release of 1.8.x including that
support.

Note: I am filing this as an RFP initially, but if I get some time in
the future I may take this packaging on myself. But don't let that stop
you working on the package!
