Unlike +it's predecessor, Shrike, services has a completely reworked form of +channel management that feels somewhat like eggdrop and is somewhat +more useful. + +Services currently works with many irc daemons. More details are +available in the config file. + +Internally, atheme-services shares more similarities with ircd than it +does with IRCServices. Anope/Epona, Cygnus, OperStats, Hybserv, Theia, +etc are all based on IRCServices and as such have very old legacy code +that none of the authors, except Church truly understand. Atheme was +written completely from scratch with the more complex concepts taken +from various modern ircd packages, including ircu, ircd-ratbox, hybrid +and bahamut. + +atheme-services is not a drop-in replacement for Anope or Andy +Church's IRC Services. It is designed with an entirely different set +of goals and as such should not be migrated to with the expectation +that it will behave exactly like what was previously implemented. +Atheme is designed to act as a directory server, with alternative ways +of getting to the data implemented as well as the IRC presence. + +WWW: http://www.atheme.org/atheme.html |
