Bug Description

Binary package hint: quassel

Hi, as you all know he freenode network gets spammed by a botnet with several attacks,
one is dcc spamming second one is ctcp flood and request through the channels,
in Quassel here has been no possibility do ignore ctcp since today.
there is a patch for this commited into git.
Can you pls update the package to get this into the Packages for Ubuntu?

TEST CASE:

Ask someone on IRC to send a CTCP version request. Notice that you get it.
Enable CTCP Ignore (Settings -> Configure Quassel -> Ignore List)
Ask someone to ping you again. Notice that you don't get it.

For people using the split quassel-client and quassel-core, both need to be updated for this to work.

Because of the user impact, this should be fixed in Karmic too. This (less packaging) is what the SRU proposal will be:

Quoted from http://bugs.quassel-irc.org/projects/quassel-irc/wiki/FAQ#How-do-I-ignore-CTCP-requests:

Versions 0.5.2 and newer offer a "CTCP" type in the ignorelist settingspage.
If selected, the rule is parsed as follows:
hostmask [CTCPCMD CTCPCMD]
For example "* VERSION PING" would ignore VERSION and PING requests for any hostmask.
If no CTCPCMD is given, all requests are ignored.
Only global- and per network scope are supported.
Since CTCP is ignored on the coreside, "Strictness" is always permanent.
