When the configuration file is unreadable or not existing, charybdis will now report the POSIX error message from the failed call. This is a compromise between the behavior in f951460ae9 and f6f049070e.
Previously it was in src/ircd.c, but accroding to jilles, this is a better place for the notification.
This changes a patch made in adef4da10c and amended in 65d921173c and f6f049070e.
They will be treated as hostmasks only. In the case of dlines they will
be rejected as invalid.
hostmask.c entries such as dlines, klines and auth blocks can only be
added by opers or via ircd.conf.
A zero CAP_CAP caused duplicate CAPAB to go undetected, allowing a
mismatch between what is sent out via ENCAP GCAP and what applies locally.
A zero CAP_TS6 allowed server connections without SID (with a valid
connect block).
Currently, the resolver treats SERVFAIL, NOTIMP, and REFUSED queries the
same as NXDOMAIN, but this really should not be the case. Instead, if
the DNS server errors on our request or provides an invalid request, try
another server.
Also, count DNS server errors in addition to timeouts and avoid these
undesirable servers.
Check mlock at the same point where chanops are checked (except for
querying a +e/+I list) and abstract this check into a function.
In particular, /mode #channel f is now again allowed if +f is mlocked.
This will allow us to modularize message processing, e.g. having new modules to manipulate
channel and private messages in new ways.
Yes: it can be used to intercept messages, but such modules are already out in the wild for
charybdis anyway -- so this doesn't really change anything there.
If you are changing the text, then it is your responsibility to provide a pointer to a new
buffer. This buffer should be statically allocated and stored in your module's BSS segment.
We will not, and cannot, free your buffer in core, so dynamically allocated buffers will
cause a memory leak.
This will allow us to simplify m_message considerably, by moving channel mode logic out to
their own modules.
Add two mechanism for avoiding name-collisions in a system-wide
installation of charybdis. The ssld and bandb daemons, intended to be
directly used by ircd and not the user, install into libexec when
--enable-fhs-paths is set. For binaries which are meant to be in PATH
(bindir), such as ircd and viconf, there is now an option
--with-program-prefix=progprefix inspired by automake. If the user
specifies --with-program-prefix=charybdis, the ircd binary is named
charybdisircd when installed.
Add support for saving the pidfile to a rundir and storing the ban
database in localstatedir instead of in sysconfdir. This is, again,
conditional on --enable-fhs-paths.
Fix(?) genssl.sh to always write created SSL key/certificate/dh
parameters to the sysconfdir specified during ./configure. The
previous behavior was to assume that the user ran genssl.sh after
ensuring that his current working directory was either sysconfdir or a
sibling directory of sysconfdir.
This becomes important because of away-notify sending aways to common
channels much like nick changes (which are also paced).
Marking as unaway is not limited (but obviously only does something if the
user was away before). To allow users to fix typos in away messages, two
aways are allowed in sequence if away has not been used recently.
