--- Comment #3 from David O'Rourke <dor.bsd@xm0.uk> ---
(In reply to daniel.engberg.lists from comment #1)

> Out of curiosity, what complaints?

Freenode is very vocal about irssi 1.3 not being released, saying things li=
ke
"testing happens in prod, aka freebsd". Generally poking fun in this direct=
ion.

Pinned issues: https://github.com/irssi/irssi/issues/1278
I'm guessing we're causing them to get questions about things that they don=
't
want to answer, because it's we're not packaging a stable version.

Questions in my email are about the differences that irssi 1.3 has, why is
there a need to /load perl when that isn't needed elsewhere, why is OTR wei=
rd
now (maybe it is, I don't use OTR), requests to just downgrade back to 1.2.=

Things I'd rather not be wasting my time answering, and which can be avoide=
d by
just packaging the stable release.

There is a patch available for Daniel's concern, it's available at
https://github.com/irssi/irssi/pull/1134, I've got a new diff available whi=
ch
I'll attach shortly which includes this patch. I don't use SSL directly in
irssi myself, it's offloaded to a local BNC, so I'm not really able to test
this patch.

Additionally, I've included a patch for a /quit segfault which can happen
depending on module use.

> Can't this be taken forward with a fresher upstream import or patches, ra=
ther than going backwards?=20

Unfortunately, this probably wouldn't prevent upstream or myself getting
questions and comments about FreeBSD using the 1.3 development version.
