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 derivative of [http://evilnet.sf.net Nefarious IRCu], which in turn is derived from Undernet's [http://coder-com.undernet.org ircu]. We decided rather then continuously modifying the source each time a new version of Nefarious was released, to instead fork and maintain our own branch. In addition to these two ircd's, ircd-darenet also contains code from Quakenet's [http://dev.quakenet.org snircd].
+Latest release: 2.0.6
-Development has begun on ircd-darenet 2, which uses a recent version of Undernet's ircu as its basis. Rather than maintaining our own branch, we've decided to instead apply our changes as a series of patches, most of which will be publicly released once completed.

-webchat-darenet is simply the code name we've given to our series of patches for the popular [http://qwebirc.org qwebirc] client (some of which may be found [https://bitbucket.org/secretagent/qwebirc here]). Much thanks to Chris Porter (slug) for developing this great client, and freely releasing it.

Some of DareNET's patches include channel quotes, title management (HostServ), stronger password hashing, additional channel and user management options, web integration and more.
-The current site is built upon the Joomla framework, and boasts a wide variety of custom components, modules and applications. It is integrated with the IRC network, which presently allows individuals to register a NickServ (DareNET) account, which can then be used to build a user profile, post to the forums, create social groups, chat on IRC and more.
+=== lua-mafia ===
-The site is programmed in [http://www.php.net PHP] and [http://www.python.org Python], and uses [http://www.mysql MySQL] as its database backend.

+=== I found a bug, where can I report it? ===
-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, Debian/Ubuntu and FreeBSD.
+Please send any bug reports to dev@darenet.org. We can also be reached in [https://webchat.darenet.org/?channels=dev #dev] on the network.
-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.
