Hello,
As some of you should know XChat is unmaintained.
First of all looking at the CVEs at 
http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list.php?vendor_id=552&product_id=&version_id=&page=1&hasexp=0&opdos=0&opec=0&opov=0&opcsrf=0&opgpriv=0&opsqli=0&opxss=0&opdirt=0&opmemc=0&ophttprs=0&opbyp=0&opfileinc=0&opginf=0&cvssscoremin=0&cvssscoremax=0&year=0&month=0&cweid=0&order=4&trc=10&sha=9e5eed6234039ebc435bb6dfadc628228ac11b37
I hope that all the fixes have been backported to the current version 
because that would be a different level of messed up.
Secondly XChat appears to be vulnerable to sslv3 attacks.
Why is the package still in the repos? Even then, why isnt there a huge 
warning that the package is unmaintained and possibly vulnerable?
