FreeQuest Coders

Since ircd-hybrid lacked support of CGI:IRC, we ported the m_webirc.c from ircd-ratbox to ircd-hybrid. It is quite untested, but atleast it works. There were some old m_webirc.c floating around for ircd-hybrid, but it didn’t compile with version 7.2.3.

Make sure you read the instructions on the top of the file before you compile it.

Also, Mark is in the progress of trying to get our services package to work with ircd-hybrid, but since it is only TS3 and ircd-hybrid uses TS6 it will need major rewrite of services (and perhaps ircd-hybrid aswell).

We’ll keep you posted!

ph0x has added some more translations for the Swedish language. In addition to that, FreeQuest has loaded the latest CVS build this night. If you notice anything odd, let us know.

During FreeQuest’s upgrade to the current CVS version of services, a change in MySQL was noticed. Due to a new field showing up during the “select stats from like ‘quarantine’” query, and this affects the result get_table_stats in mysql.c expects. Hence, the pointer that is supposed to be an int, suddenly becomes a string, which results in services crashing. (Only occurs when services recieves a SQLINE, and is to compare it to the current SQLINES in the quarantine table).

To fix this problem, change the following in mysql.c, line 241:


row = smysql_fetch_row(mysql, result);
*nrec = strtoul(row[3], NULL, 10);
*bytes = strtoul(row[5], NULL, 10) + strtoul(row[7], NULL, 10);

to

row = smysql_fetch_row(mysql, result);
*nrec = strtoul(row[4], NULL, 10);
*bytes = strtoul(row[6], NULL, 10) + strtoul(row[8], NULL, 10);


We will update CVS and supply a patch for backward compability to MySQL 4.0.x soon.

Other than that, we can gladly inform you that FreeQuest’s services is running smoothly after the transition.
