#summary IRC to XMPP interface to allow IRC clients to connect to chatrooms #labels Stage-Alpha, Deprecated *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!* = Introduction = Whether you like it or not, XMPP is the future, but that pesky IRC just won't go away :) 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. = Usage = In your config file put something similar to the following: {{{ Component "irc2muc.example.com" "ircd" conference_server = "conference.example.com" -- required listener_port = 7000 }}} 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. = Warning = The plugin stability, and/or serving compatibility with most of the IRC clients is yet to be determined. = Install = 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. Instructions (temporarily changed): * Clone the Squish repo and/or download the latest tip from it (in that case you'll have to decompress the tip zip/tarball) * In your Squish directory type make install * Back into your mod_ircd directory call squish with --verse=./verse/verse.lua * Move the mod_ircd.lua file to your prosody's plugins directory = Compatibility = ||0.8||Works|| ||0.7||Uncertain|| ||0.6||Doesn't work|| = Todo = * Authentication * SSL * Many improvements to handling of IRC and XMPP
