cmpctircd

About

The aim of this project was to provide a stable, fast, and modern ircd.

Status

This project has been deprecated in favour of cmpctircd.NET.

No further development will take place on this project by sam et al.; contact sam if you wish to take over. Anyone wishing to take on the project would be supported by the cmpct collective.

Testing

Checkout master, edit ircd.xml, and run bin/ircd --config ircd.xml --motd ircd.motd --rules ircd.rules to test. Windows/others should use select as the socket provider (<sockets:provider>). epoll is recommended on Linux, with kqueue for *BSD.

Use parameter --loglevel $LEVEL where $LEVEL is one of: DEBUG, WARN, INFO, ERROR to control the logging level. TLS certs and keys should be 'tls_cert.pem' and 'tls_key.pem' respectively. Install with ./Makefile.PL; make; (sudo) make install.
