Alexander Barton 4467d127c2 Revert "dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libnsl.so.1 [..]" - Solaris needs both -lsocket _and_ -lnsl - A/UX needs -lUTIL "... which totally sucks because we'd link libnsl on Linux, too (where its not needed at all). So, we have to figure out how to tell autocrap to NOT put -lnsl there unless it exports a symbol we need. This also means that [...] has to be reverted (or done properly)." -- Florian Westphal @ #ngircd This reverts commit `2b14234abc`.		2008-07-09 18:36:40 +02:00

                     ngIRCd - Next Generation IRC Server

               ngIRCd is free software and published under the
                   terms of the GNU General Public License.

I. Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ngIRCd is an Open Source server for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which
is developed and published under the terms of the GNU General Public
Licence (URL: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html). ngIRCd means "next
generation IRC daemon", it's written from scratch and not deduced from the
"grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet.

Please see the INSTALL document for installation and upgrade information!


II. Status
~~~~~~~~~~~

It is not the goal of ngIRCd to implement all the nasty behaviours of the
original ircd, but to implement most of the useful commands and semantics
specified by the RFCs.

In the meantime ngIRCd should be quite feature complete and stable to be
used in real IRC networks.

Implemented IRC-commands are:

ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, HELP, INVITE, ISON,
JOIN, KICK, KILL, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD, NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE,
OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT, REHASH, RESTART, SERVER, SQUIT,
STATS, TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER, USERHOST, VERSION, WALLOPS, WHO, WHOIS,
WHOWAS.


III. Features (or: why use ngIRCd?)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- no problems with servers which have dynamic IP addresses
- simple, easy understandable configuration file,
- freely published open-source C source code,
- ngIRCd will be developed on in the future.
- wide field of supported platforms, including AIX, A/UX, FreeBSD, HP-UX,
  IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, OpenBSD, Solaris, and Windows with Cygwin.


IV. Documentation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

More documentation can be found in the "doc/" directory and the homepage of
the ngIRCd: <http://ngircd.barton.de/>.


V. Download

the newest information about the ngIRCd and the most recent ("stable")
releases there.

If you are interested in the latest development versions (which are not
always stable), then please read the section about "GIT" on the homepage and
the file "doc/GIT.txt" which describes the use of GIT, the version control
system used by ngIRCd (homepage: http://git.or.cz/).
