Greetings,
when trying to connect to irc.debian.org, the alias seems to not be followed,
because the server is never connected to. Instead, using the oftc server, I
could connect and enter the #debian-devel channel.
The documentation is at
https://www.debian.org/support#irc
and the lines are:
Once you have the client installed, you need to tell it to connect to the
server. In most clients, you can do that by typing:
/server irc.debian.org
Cheers,
Filippo
