-uirc3
-=====
-The unethical IRC trinity. This project consists of an experimental IRC client,
-daemon, and bot. It's all you're ever going to need for chatting.
-
-All of them have these potentially interesting properties:
- - full IPv6 support
- - TLS support, including client certificates
- - minimal dependencies
- - very compact and easy to hack on
- - permissive license
-
-degesch
--------
-The IRC client. It is largely defined by being built on top of GNU Readline.
-Its interface should however feel familiar for weechat or irssi users.
-
-This is the youngest and largest application within the project. It has most of
-the stuff you'd expect of an IRC client, such as being able to set up multiple
-servers, powerful configuration system, integrated help, mIRC text formatting,
-CTCP queries, automatic splitting of overlong messages, autocomplete, logging
-to file, and command aliases.
-
-kike
-----
-The IRC daemon. It is designed to be used as a regular user application rather
-than a system-wide daemon. If all you want is a decent, minimal IRCd for
-a small network of respectful users (or bots), or testing, this one will do it.
-
-Notable features:
- - TLS autodetection (why doesn't everyone have this?)
- - IRCop authentication through TLS client certificates
- - epoll/kqueue support; it should be able to handle quite a number of users
- - partial IRCv3 support
-
-Not supported:
- - server linking (which also means no services); I consider existing protocols
- for this purpose ugly and tricky to implement correctly
- - online changes to configuration; the config system from degesch could be used
- - limits of almost any kind, just connections and mode +l
-
-ZyklonB
--------
-The IRC bot. It builds upon the concept of my other VitaminA IRC bot. The main
-characteristic of these two bots is that they run plugins as coprocesses, which
-allows for enhanced reliability and programming language freedom.
-
-While originally intended to be a simple C99 rewrite of the original bot, which
-was written in the GNU dialect of AWK, it fairly quickly became a playground
-where I added everything that seemed nice, and it eventually got me into writing
-the rest of this package.
-
-Notable features:
- - resilient against crashes, server disconnects and timeouts
- - SOCKS support (even though socksify can add that easily to any program)
-
-Building
---------
-Build dependencies: CMake, pkg-config, help2man, awk, sh, liberty (included)
-Runtime dependencies: openssl, curses (degesch),
- readline or libedit >= 2013-07-12 (degesch)
-
- $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/pjanouch/uirc3.git
- $ mkdir uirc3/build
- $ cd uirc3/build
- $ cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug \
- -DWANT_READLINE=ON -DWANT_LIBEDIT=OFF
- $ make
-
-To install the application, you can do either the usual:
- # make install
-
-Or you can try telling CMake to make a package for you. For Debian it is:
- $ cpack -G DEB
- # dpkg -i uirc3-*.deb
-
-Note that for versions of CMake before 2.8.9, you need to prefix cpack with
-`fakeroot' or file ownership will end up wrong.
-
-Running
--------
-`degesch' has in-program configuration. Just run it and read the instructions.
-
-For the rest you might want to generate a configuration file:
- $ zyklonb --write-default-config
- $ kike --write-default-config
-
-After making any necessary edits to the file (there are comments to aid you in
-doing that), simply run the appropriate program with no arguments:
- $ zyklonb
- $ kike
-
-`ZyklonB' stays running in the foreground, therefore I recommend launching it
-inside a Screen or tmux session.
-
-`kike', on the other hand, immediately forks into the background. Use the PID
-file or something like `killall' if you want to terminate it. You can run it
-as a `forking' type systemd user service.
-
-Client Certificates
--------------------
-`kike' uses SHA1 fingerprints of TLS client certificates to authenticate users.
-To get the fingerprint from a certificate file in the required form, use:
- $ openssl x509 -in public.pem -outform DER | sha1sum
-
-Contributing and Support
-------------------------
-Use this project's GitHub to report any bugs, request features, or submit pull
-requests. If you want to discuss this project, or maybe just hang out with
-the developer, feel free to join me at irc://anathema.irc.so, channel #anathema.

-Disclaimer
-----------
-I am not an antisemitist, I'm just being an offensive asshole with the naming.
-And no, I'm not going to change the names.
