17 * Search functionality
20 * Connection limits ("trusts")
21 * Transactional g:line support
26 * Channel Service Request (R)
28 * Server list with latency checks
33 * IRC Server running the P10 Protocol. Full support for all modules may require
34 use of QuakeNet's snircd IRC server [available from
35 https://www.quakenet.org/development], which is based upon Undernet's IRCU
36 server [http://coder-com.undernet.org/].
37 * Linux system (BSDs may work, but not actively tested)
46 Please read the documentation provided before you ask us for support. You may
47 find some assistance in #dev on QuakeNet for specific questions.
49 If you've found any bugs or you're working on any cool new features please give
55 First run configure script:
59 The configure script will list any missing dependencies. If you're unsure why
60 a certain library or header file was not found you can run the configure script
61 with the -v option or check the .configure.log file after your first configure
64 Please refer to the "Local Settings" section in this file if you're using
65 non-standard library/header search paths. Once you've resolved all dependency
66 issues you can build newserv:
70 After all modules are built you can install newserv:
74 By default the newserv binary and the modules are installed into your source
75 tree. The recommended setup is to now create a separate directory and symlink
76 the "newserv" binary and the "modules" directory into it:
79 $ mkdir newserv-install && cd newserv-install
80 $ ln -s ../newserv-src/newserv
81 $ ln -s ../newserv-src/modules
83 You will also need to copy the newserv.conf.example configuration file to your
84 installation directory and rename it to newserv.conf. The MODULES file has a
85 list of available modules and their configuration settings.
87 After you have updated your newserv.conf file you can start newserv:
91 newserv does not detach from the console. Consider running it in a
97 You can create a user on your control instance using /msg N hello (where N is
98 the nick of your control user). You need to be opered and authed in order to
101 If your network does not have an authentication service that supports account
102 IDs you can load the "auth" module. Note that this module lets opers set
103 arbitrary account names and IDs and therefore should probably not be loaded on
106 Once you have an account you should have a look at /msg N showcommands for a
107 list of available commands.
112 If you are using non-standard library/include paths you can create a file
113 called configure.ini.local (using configure.ini.local.example as a template) to
114 override some of the settings.
