IRCd is a free and open source server which facilitates real-time communication over the
internet. It was started in 1988 by Jarkko Oikarinen in the University of Oulu and eventually
made its way to William Pitcock et al, whom after 2005 developed the project under the alias
*Charybdis*. In 2014 a protocol was proposed to reinvigorate real-time communication in lieu
of growing commercial competition and a lack of innovation from open source alternatives to
compete. This protcol is known as the *Matrix* protocol.

* **RocksDB** (based on LevelDB) - We replace sqlite3 with a lightweight and embedded database
and have furthered the mission of eliminating the need for external "IRC services"

The developer preview will install charybdis in a specific directory isolated from the
system. It will not use or install system libraries. It will download and build the
dependencies from the submodules we have pinned here and build them the way we have
configured. Charybdis should be executed using those builds. You may need to set the
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH` to the built libraries. None of this will be required when released.
### Installation
#### Downloading Charybdis
* `git clone https://github.com/charybdis-ircd/charybdis`
* `cd charybdis`
* `git checkout 5`
- Verify you have the latest source tree and **are on the Matrix branch**.
#### Building from git (production)
* `./autogen.sh`
* `./configure`
* `make`
* `sudo make install`

- Many systems alias `g++` to an older version. To be safe, specify a version manually
in `CXX`. This will also build the submodule dependencies with that version.
