I was talking about the awful code quality. When dancer was put into OPN use, the topic in the staff channel usually had about 3 instances of "don't do <foo>, you'll take down several leaf servers and a hub", where foo was something trivial like OPERWALL, or umode -o (those are both accurate examples; OPERWALL randomly killed servers, and umode -o made your session prone to extreme instability, as well as the servers). It's just shit code on top of a shit codebase (hyb6), as the results show. Most IRC daemons have been proven to work; dancer has been proven to fail. > ircu is ... ircu, yes. > I actually doubt we need a default-ircd.

Talk to them if you want the lowdown on exactly which patches they are, but jabea (or maybe gcc) was becoming hyb upstream last I heard, so they're probably mostly merged mainline now. -- Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
