Package: inspircd
Version: 3.17.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Please update inspircd to the latest stable upstream version, 4.6.0. The 
current version in testing is 3.17.0. The 3.x branch of inspircd will loose 
upstream support (including security patches) January 1, 2026 which is before 
the trixie lifespan.
There are breaking config changes in the new 4.x branch, which you should 
mention in the changelog when you upload the new package. You should probably 
ship new default configs, etc. Please look through this for what breaking 
changes the new stable branch has: https://docs.inspircd.org/4/breaking-changes/
Several core modules have been removed and now placed in the contrib (3rd 
party) repository. As you can see in the documentation link above, it lists 
what modules are no longer shipped by default, which could break users existing 
installs if they rely on those modules. I would greatly apprentice it if you 
could ship the package including the contrib modules. I currently use some of 
those modules myself such as censor. You can find these contrib modules here, 
https://github.com/inspircd/inspircd-contrib/tree/master/4 Please make sure 
you're in the 4 folder as the number relates to the main branch version, which 
we are now on 4.x. I believe all you have to do is copy the modules (.cpp 
files) into the src/modules/ folder and it should compile them at build time.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could get this updated before the Trixie 
freeze.

Kindest Regards,
Victor Coss
