Source code

newserv is a P10 protocol services daemon developed for the QuakeNet IRC network. IRC Server running the P10 Protocol. Full support for all modules may require use of QuakeNet's snircd IRC server, which is based upon Undernet's ircu. Linux system (BSDs may work, but not actively tested) flex bison GNU Make Python 2.4 Please read the documentation provided before you ask us for support. You may find some assistance in dev on QuakeNet for specific questions. External contributions are welcome, but non-trivial pull requests are likely to be rejected unless first discussed with us ( dev on QuakeNet). Contributions produced or assisted by "AI" are not welcome; any pull requests will be closed without comment and the submitter will be permanently banned. The configure script will list any missing dependencies. If you're unsure why a certain library or header file was not found you can run the configure script with the -v option or check the .configure.log file after your first configure run. By default the newserv binary and the modules are installed into your source tree. The recommended setup is to now create a separate directory and symlink the "newserv" binary and the "modules" directory into it: You will also need to copy the newserv.conf.example configuration file to your installation directory and rename it to newserv.conf. The MODULES file has a list of available modules and their configuration settings. newserv does not detach from the console. Consider running it in a screen(1) session. If your network does not have an authentication service that supports account IDs you can load the "auth" module. Note that this module lets opers set arbitrary account names and IDs and therefore should probably not be loaded on production networks. If you are using non-standard library/include paths you can create a file called configure.ini.local (using configure.ini.local.example as a template) to override some of the settings.
