The code behind this capability was never implemented, and subsequent
discussions have agreed to approach the problem differently. There seems no
reason to continue advertising a capability that does nothing.
Additionally, attempting to use too many modes or two times
the same letter is now detected and prevented.
Modules now request that a channel mode be added/orphaned,
instead of ugly manipulation from which that request had
to be guessed.
Slight changes are needed to modules that provide channel modes.
From the old API, one important function has been made static,
the other important function has been renamed, so loading old
modules should fail safely.
If this option is yes (default), KLINE by itself sets global (propagated) bans.
If this option is no, KLINE by itself sets a local kline following cluster{},
compatible with 3.2 and older versions.
Special modes like +j can be tracked easily just by adding the necessary
code to parse them to set_channel_mlock(). This will cover propagation
as well.
Such bans are not applied locally, but are propagated normally.
They can only be removed on a server that applies them.
Note that normally KLINE will not accept such bans.
This is mainly for services, differing min_wildcard and
ircd changes.
A KLINE command without the ON clause now sets a propagated
("global") ban. KLINE commands with the ON clause work as
before.
Propagated klines can only be removed with an UNKLINE command
without the ON clause, and this removes them everywhere.
In fact, they remain in a deactivated state until the latest
expiry ever used for the mask has passed.
Propagated klines are part of the netburst using a new BAN
message and capab. If such a burst has an effect, both the
server name and the original oper are shown in the server
notice.
No checks whatsoever are done on bursted klines at this time.
The system should be extended to XLINE and RESV later.
There is currently no way to list propagated klines,
but TESTLINE works normally.
When a ban is added or removed, open a transaction and
close it after 3 seconds; any bans in the 3 seconds
will not trigger another transaction (= 4 fsyncs with
sqlite).
The transaction is also committed if ircd closes the
connection, but not if bandb itself is terminated with
a signal.
