| ## tethys | |
| <https://github.com/atheme/tethys> | |
| "there are a few reasons why it is desirable to replace charybdis: | |
| - it does not integrate will into the rest of the atheme platform due to | |
| being a ratbox fork, i.e. we decided to follow ratbox upstream and work | |
| with them on libratbox, meaning that we have our own libmowgli and | |
| there is also this libratbox thing and there's a lot of feature | |
| overlap... | |
| - bitrot from changes to changes to changes to 2.8.21 code, which is not | |
| well understood in terms of side effects, etc. | |
| - legal issues with the ratbox/hybrid-7 origin of charybdis, including: | |
| - diane bruce's decision to strip copyrights from headers, giving us | |
| very little idea of the origin of most 2.8.21 code ("ircd | |
| contributors past and present") | |
| - multiple licenses used in the code (GPLv1, GPLv2, BSD-likes), some | |
| authors no longer being alive to relicense their code to BSD-like | |
| or allowing an exception to allow openssl to be linked against it | |
| - binary redistributions of charybdis linked to openssl are illegal | |
| because of the above | |
| - many components of mowgli (VIO, for example) were designed with the | |
| intention of replacing charybdis" | |
| ## TR-IRCD | |

| rebase: ircd-hybrid 7 → TR-IRCD 5.0 | |
| "The TR-IRCd Project started in 1999 to provide one Turkish IRC server | |
| (IRCTR) with a more suitable IRC daemon. Yusuf, who was himself an | |
| IRC-Operator on this network started with modifying Bahamut 1.4, adding a | |
| IP hiding algorithm and some enhancements to provide operators a better | |
| control over the Network." | |
| "After the initial release Yusuf started a Sourceforge Project opening the | |
| IRCd to the wide public. At this time Ekim joined the team, mostly for | |
| suggestions and shell scripting but also for minor coding issues. So when | |
| in Autumn 2001 the second major release TR-IRCd 4.0 came out, the IRCd got | |
| used on another Turkish IRC Network (TTNet)." | |
| "Some bug fixes soon resulted in releases of minor version upgrades, some | |
| of them including new features, mostly adapted from Bahamut. The final | |
| release was TR-IRCd 4.3 after which a release freeze was announced..." | |
| "The development moved over to the new upcoming and completely rewritten | |
| TR-IRCd 5.0 which unites many of the best features of Bahamut and Hybrid | |
| and our own new ideas..." | |

| "ircd-micro is an attempt to write an IRC daemon from scratch for the 4.3 | |

| a real practical project." | |
| "The goal is to be fully compatible with most modern TS6 IRC daemons, in | |
| particular charybdis ircd and atheme-services. This will allow a 4.3 BSD | |
| system running ircd-micro to be linked into existing TS6 networks." | |

| ## Viagra IRCd | |
| <http://www.schiffner.com/programming-orphaned/viagra-ircd/> | |
| "Viagra IRCd is an IRC Daemon I developed while attending college at | |
| Rochester Institute of Technology. Its code base was Titan IRCd (of which | |
| development ended prematurely). The last version of Titan IRCd was | |
| unsuitable for production use do to its incomplete state. It crashed | |
| constantly lending to Viagra IRCd’s original development name of “Titanic”. | |
| Though only available to a few select networks the development version | |
| quickly created a buzz. After many late nights the IRCd reached a stable | |
| code base. So stable that many of the test networks joked that we should | |
| name it “Viagra IRCd” and use “Rock Solid Stability” as its catch phrase… | |
| Perhaps it was the lack of sleep but I applied the name and it stuck." | |
| "The daemon was based on the titan and bahamut code bases and incorporated | |
| many of the popular features found in daemons like Unreal IRCd and Ultimate | |
| IRCd. It was/is supported by Anope Services, Auspice Services, Neo Stats, a | |
| custom distribution of Epona (available for download here, although it | |
| contains many security vulnerabilities and should not be used in an | |
| unpatched state), and Floodworld." | |
