Bug#254712: O: hybserv

[Joshua Kwan <joshk@triplehelix.org>]

Package: wnpp

I'm orphaning one of my packages, hybserv. The description follows:

Description: IRC services for IRCD-Hybrid
 HybServ is a daemon that connects to your IRCD-Hybrid server and
 automagically provides nickname, channel, memo, and oper services
 to your entire network if it is configured correctly to talk with your
 IRC server.
 .
 In short, these allow users to register nicknames and channels to
 prevent EFnet-style takeovers thereof, allows opers to easily manage
 glines, klines, and other server settings, and allows users with
 registered nicknames to leave messages for one another.
 .
 HybServ is the services package of choice on IRC networks such as
 Aniverse.

Although I continue to actively maintain the ircd-hybrid both as part of
upstream and in the Debian package, hybserv has a not-so-good codebase,
poor upstream response, and on top of all of that I don't use it anymore
at all.

The Debian package has a few things here and there that I understand
could be done a lot better that have not been effected in the package.
Therefore if a competent maintainer wishes to adopt this and DTRT, be my
guest.

Regards
