Updating ircd-darenet is quick and easy! If you have received an e-mail from a Server Manager explaining that you need to update the version of ircd-darenet you're currently running, follow the steps below.

Step 1 - Grabbing the latest version

First, SSH into your server, and go to the ircd-darenet directory:

cd ircd-darenet

Then, once inside the directory, run the following command:

svn update

Depending on how many changes were made between the latest version of ircd-darenet, and the version you currently have, this may take a few moments. Once this is completed, move on to step 2.

Step 2 - Installing the latest version

Once step 1 is completed, run the following command:

make distclean

then:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/ircd --enable-ssl

Note, you will be asked if you want to use the same SSL certificate or create a new one. Either way, the choice is up to you.

then run:

make

then:

make install

If everything runs smoothly, the new version is now installed.
