Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5TOO
Mageia 6 build queued by David; BS is stuck. quassel-0.12.5-1.mga6 quassel-common-0.12.5-1.mga6 quassel-client-0.12.5-1.mga6 quassel-core-0.12.5-1.mga6 from quassel-0.12.5-1.mga6.src.rpm
unfortablely the two patches doesn't apply in 0.10.1 release from mga5!
CVE assignments: http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2018/05/01/1 I see only a few hunks fail in mga5, so a backport should be possible. Will try to look at it later.
