The problem with this patch is that it removes webtv_parse() which is used by other components, like the CTCP version checker.

Personally, though, I am of the opinion that the CTCP version checker should be offloaded to a bot or services, but I want to make sure it is OK to remove that functionality before I commit it.

Syzop, opinion?

hi,

I'm a little confused here. grep shows that references to the webtv_parse() function appears no where other than m_messages.c, which this patch removes.

Please point me to where the CTCP version checker uses this function.

thanks

scott@laptop:~/unreal34$ grep -ir "webtv_parse" .
./src/modules/m_message.c:static int webtv_parse(aClient *sptr, char *string);
./src/modules/m_message.c: ret = webtv_parse(sptr, parv[2]);
./src/modules/m_message.c:static int webtv_parse(aClient *sptr, char *string)

put more simply, webtv_parse() contains logic for the CTCP checker, which your patch also removes... thus, i think we should leave it for now until we decide the future of the CTCP checker (personally i would prefer to remove it)

Sorry for the delay.

I'm ok with having all webtv stuff removed, but the CTCP VERSION checker (the ban version { } block) should not be removed. It's used by quite a number of people.
If people (also) want to use a (services) bot for that, fine, but we don't want to remove this functionality from core UnrealIRCd.

So, you'll probably have to recode the version checker if you want to remove all the other webtv stuff (which is a good idea). Can't be that hard, though :)

-> set to 'new' until new patch is made.

webtv is completely gone now, ban version { } stuff has been rewritten to allow for this.
