The unethical IRC trinity. This project consists of an experimental IRC client,
|
||||
daemon, and bot. It's all you're ever going to need for chatting.
|
||||
|
||||
All of them have these potentially interesting properties:
|
||||
|
||||
- full IPv6 support
|
||||
- TLS support, including client certificates
|
||||
- minimal dependencies
|
||||
- very compact and easy to hack on
|
||||
- permissive license

Its interface should however feel familiar for weechat or irssi users.

The IRC daemon. It is designed to be used as a regular user application rather
|
||||
than a system-wide daemon. If all you want is a decent, minimal IRCd for
|
||||
a small network of respectful users (or bots), or testing, this one will do it.
|
||||
|
||||
Notable features:
|
||||
|
||||
- TLS autodetection (why doesn't everyone have this?)
|
||||
- IRCop authentication through TLS client certificates
|
||||
- epoll/kqueue support; it should be able to handle quite a number of users
|
||||
- partial IRCv3 support
|
||||
|
||||
Not supported:
|
||||
|
||||
- server linking (which also means no services); I consider existing protocols
|
||||
for this purpose ugly and tricky to implement correctly
|
||||
- online changes to configuration; the config system from degesch could be used

- limits of almost any kind, just connections and mode +l

The IRC bot. It builds upon the concept of my other VitaminA IRC bot. The main

characteristic of these two bots is that they run plugins as coprocesses, which

allows for enhanced reliability and programming language freedom.

To install the application, you can do either the usual:
|
||||
|
||||
# make install
|
||||
|
||||
Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
|
||||
|
||||
$ cpack -G DEB
|
||||
# dpkg -i uirc3-*.deb
|

Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix cpack with

For the rest you might want to generate a configuration file:
|

|

$ zyklonb --write-default-config
|

$ kike --write-default-config
|

|

After making any necessary edits to the file (there are comments to aid you in
|
||||
doing that), simply run the appropriate program with no arguments:

$ zyklonb
