DareNET's development team is dedicated to actively maintaining and developing the software that's running the network. The team can be reached via email at dev@darenet.org or in #dev.

Development Projects

DareNET currently develops the following projects:

ircd-darenet

Latest release: 2.0.6

ircd-darenet 2.x is a fork of the Undernet Universal IRC daemon (u2.10.12 branch), also known as ircu, and contains various code from Quakenet's snircd patchset. Some of DareNET's patches include SSL encryption (both server<>server and server<>client), configuration includes, persistent channels, partial IRCv3 support, fakehosts and remote server and user management.

evo

Latest release: 1.0.0

Evo is our account and channel management services running on DareNET, which was forked from GameSurge's srvx services. Some of DareNET's patches include channel quotes, title management (HostServ), stronger password hashing, additional channel and user management options, web integration and more.

lua-mafia

DareNET's implementation of the widely popular Mafia party game (also known as Werewolf). You can play in #Mafia. You'll need a registered account, which you can get here (don't worry, it's free!).

FAQ

Where can I download projects?

Most of our patches to qwebirc have been incorporated upstream.

Our other projects, including those listed on this page, are highly customized to our network and so publishing them would not make much sense. While we may eventually release ircd-darenet, your patience is required until it happens. In the mean time, we recommend taking at look at the following projects (in no particular order), for IRC daemons and services with comparable feature sets:

I found a bug, where can I report it?

Please send any bug reports to dev@darenet.org. We can also be reached in #dev on the network.

How do I get involved with DareNET Development?

If you're interested in contributing to one of DareNET's projects, whether it be with actual development or improving documentation, drop us a line at dev@darenet.org. If you have a GitHub, Bitbucket, Sourceforge, etc. profile, feel free to include links to those as well.

 === ircd-darenet ===
-ircd-darenet is based on [http://evilnet.sf.net nefarious ircu], from the lovely people on the evilnet development team. We decided rather than always downloading and modifying the source every time a new version of nefarious was releases, to instead fork and maintain our own branch. The amount of changes already made are quite significant (over 4000 in all!). Such changes include the addition of a spam bot detection system, anti-drone flood system, additional operator privileges and tweaks to existing ones, numerous backend enhancements, new channel/user modes and tweaks to existing ones, and much more.
+Latest release: 2.0.6
-=== services-darenet ===
+ircd-darenet 2.x is a fork of the Undernet Universal IRC daemon (u2.10.12 branch), also known as [http://coder-com.undernet.org ircu], and contains various code from Quakenet's [http://dev.quakenet.org snircd] patchset. Some of DareNET's patches include SSL encryption (both server<>server and server<>client), configuration includes, persistent channels, partial IRCv3 support, fakehosts and remote server and user management.
-Our services, code named services-darenet, are currently based on [http://www.srvx.net srvx] and [http://evilnet.sf.net x3], but also include features unique to DareNET.
+=== evo ===
-=== webchat-darenet ===
+Latest release: 1.0.0
-We have been following [http://qwebirc.org qwebirc]'s development for quite some time now, and find it to be a great alternative to sites such as mibbit. Much thanks to Chris Porter aka slug for developing this great client, and freely releasing it. DareNET currently runs a modified version of it, dubbed webchat-darenet.
+Evo is our account and channel management services running on DareNET, which was forked from GameSurge's [http://www.srvx.net srvx] services. Some of DareNET's patches include channel quotes, title management (HostServ), stronger password hashing, additional channel and user management options, web integration and more.
-=== website-darenet ===
+=== lua-mafia ===
-Developing PHP sites without a preconceived plan to manage them is asking for a headache. The goal of a framework is to make the process of writing web-based applications easier. Unfortunately, the vast majority of PHP frameworks currently out there don't really provide everything DareNET's next generation web site will require; therefore, we have started working on our own, custom framework. More information can be found [[Web Development|here]].
+DareNET's implementation of the widely popular Mafia party game (also known as Werewolf). You can play in [https://webchat.darenet.org?channels=#mafia #Mafia]. You'll need a registered account, which you can get [https://www.darenet.org/signup here] (don't worry, it's free!).
-The current site is built upon the Joomla framework, and boosts a wide variety of custom components, modules and applications. It is integrated with our IRC network, which presently allows individuals to register a NickServ (DareNET) account, which can then be used to build user profiles, post to the forums, create social groups, chat on IRC and much more.
+== FAQ ==
-The site is programmed in [http://www.php.net PHP] and uses [http://www.mysql.com MySQL] as its database backend.

-=== What development environment does DareNET use? ===
-Most of our projects are developed in the C programming language; however, other languages such as Python are used too. The source is targeted at most of the popular Unix platforms, and all releases are tested on Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD.
-Most developers run a Unix-like operating system and use an open source tool chain with [http://gcc.gnu.org/ GCC], [http://www.gnu.org/software/make/make.html GNU Make], [http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/gdb.html GDB], [http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/ Autoconf], and so on. If you have contributed to open source software before, you will probably be familiar with these tools.
-The complete list of required software to build any project developed by DareNET can be found in their respective installation instructions.
-=== How Do I Get Involved With DareNET Development? ===
-If you are interested in contributing to DareNET's various development projects (e.g. ircd-darenet, services-darenet, web development, etc) please send an e-mail to dev@darenet.org. If you are involved with other projects, please note this in your e-mail and possibly provide links to their project pages.
