atheme-services is a set of Services for IRC networks that allows
|
||
|
|
users to manage their channels in a secure and efficient way and
|
||
|
|
allows operators to manage various things about their networks. Unlike
|
||
|
|
it's predecessor, Shrike, services has a completely reworked form of
|
||
|
|
channel management that feels somewhat like eggdrop and is somewhat
|
||
|
|
more useful.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Services currently works with many irc daemons. More details are
|
||
|
|
available in the config file.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Internally, atheme-services shares more similarities with ircd than it
|
||
|
|
does with IRCServices. Anope/Epona, Cygnus, OperStats, Hybserv, Theia,
|
||
|
|
etc are all based on IRCServices and as such have very old legacy code
|
||
|
|
that none of the authors, except Church truly understand. Atheme was
|
||
|
|
written completely from scratch with the more complex concepts taken
|
||
|
|
from various modern ircd packages, including ircu, ircd-ratbox, hybrid
|
||
|
|
and bahamut.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
atheme-services is not a drop-in replacement for Anope or Andy
|
||
|
|
Church's IRC Services. It is designed with an entirely different set
|
||
|
|
of goals and as such should not be migrated to with the expectation
|
||
|
|
that it will behave exactly like what was previously implemented.
|
||
|
|
Atheme is designed to act as a directory server, with alternative ways
|
||
|
|
of getting to the data implemented as well as the IRC presence.
