2 #labels Stage-Alpha, Deprecated

4 *NOTE: Consider this module currently more of a fun experiment than a serious project for use in production. Note the 'alpha' tag and have fun!*
5
6 = Introduction =
7
8 Whether you like it or not, XMPP is the future, but that pesky IRC just won't go away :)
9
10 With this module you can set up a special host on your server to allow connections from IRC clients and bots. They are able to join XMPP chatrooms on a specified conference server.
11
12 = Usage =
13 In your config file put something similar to the following:
14
15 {{{
16 Component "irc2muc.example.com" "ircd"
17 conference_server = "conference.example.com" -- required
18 listener_port = 7000
19 }}}
20
21 If you don't want your IRC users to have connectivity outside your server then there is no need for the hostnames you specify to be valid DNS entries.
22
23 = Warning =
24
25 The plugin stability, and/or serving compatibility with most of the IRC clients is yet to be determined.
26
27 = Install =
28
29 This release requires the [http://code.matthewwild.co.uk/verse/ Verse client library] as dependancy and [http://code.matthewwild.co.uk/squish/ Squish] to meld it with the plugin.
30
31 Instructions (temporarily changed):
32 * Clone the Squish repo and/or download the latest tip from it (in that case you'll have to decompress the tip zip/tarball)
33 * In your Squish directory type make install
34 * Back into your mod_ircd directory call squish with --verse=./verse/verse.lua
35 * Move the mod_ircd.lua file to your prosody's plugins directory
36
37 = Compatibility =
38 ||0.8||Works||
39 ||0.7||Uncertain||
40 ||0.6||Doesn't work||
41
42 = Todo =
43 * Authentication
44 * SSL
45 * Many improvements to handling of IRC and XMPP
