This is indeed a shame. (I filed a duplicate of this at #698807; sorry
that I didn't see this one).
My own interest in anope stems from being the maintainer for ircd-hybrid,
whose authors recommend anope over any other services. ircd-hybrid 8
is in experimental and I'm hoping to upload it to unstable shortly after
the wheezy release. ircd-hybrid 8 is not compatible with hybserv (which
has in any case been removed from Debian) and so I am keen to seen
anope enter Debian so that ircd-hybrid can continue be an option for
a services-supported ircd in Debian.
I noticed that anope 1.8.8 has now been released, with ircd-hybrid 8
support.
Anope team, do you have any more thoughts on this - would you be happy to
see Debian package of 1.8.8 appear? I wasn't party to the original
discussion with Christoph.
Cheers,
Dominic.
