I. Upgrade Information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Differences to version 0.8.x
+
+- The maximum length of passwords has been raised to 20 characters (instead
+ of 8 characters). If your passwords are longer than 8 characters then they
+ are cut at an other position now.
+
Differences to version 0.6.x
- Some options of the configure script have been renamed:
3) make
4) make install
+(Please see details below!)
+
+Now the newly compiled executable "ngircd" is installed in its standard
+location, /usr/local/sbin/.
+
+The next step is to configure and afterwards starting the daemon. Please
+have a look at the ngircd(8) and ngircd.conf(5) manual pages for details
+and all possible options.
+
+If no previous version of the configuration file exists (the standard name
+is /usr/local/etc/ngircd.conf), a sample configuration file containing all
+possible options will be installed there. You'll find its template in the
+doc/ directory: sample-ngircd.conf.
+
1): "autogen.sh"
and/or disable some features of ngIRCd. All these options are shown using
"./configure --help", too.
+Compiling a static binary will avoid you the hassle of feeding a chroot dir
+(if you want use the chroot feature). Just do something like:
+ CFLAGS=-static ./configure [--your-options ...]
+Then you can use a void directory as ChrootDir (like OpenSSH's /var/empty).
+
3): "make"
