I have just committed a brand new build system to ircu2.10.11, the alpha

script takes options. Use ./configure --help for more information. Opt

Most of the options have been made run-time configurable through the
.conf. The full list is in include/ircd_features.h. You can set them
using F lines in the .conf, or many of them can be set online using
/quote set. As an

As you all know, I've been working on rewriting ircu's event loop--in a
seperate branch, so as to avoid destabilizing the present alpha. I finished
that work a few days ago, and began testing. I am pleased to report that
I've managed to work out most of the major bugs in the overall event system
This is my current TODO list for the u2.10.11 alpha. Is there anything else
we need to do? After completing the TODO list, I'd like to push to get the

I assume you mean for ircu2.10.11.alpha, which is currently under
development. If you mean for ircu2.10.10 (any patch level), this is very
easy to find during the "make config" stage of building the server.

Fascinating. Shouldn't affect anyone, though. I was able to both set

the server shouldn't transmute a ban string into that anyway.

At least theoretically, u2.10.11 should deal *much* better at detecting the
