Tested 4x on pissircd and unrealircd, some servers with custom scripts installed, and confirmed with another dozen or so successful updates.
---
When I was attempting to upgrade using the built in unrealircd upgrader on a server that had 5.x, it failed with an error about calling a script directly despite using the correct command to do a version upgrade. Updating required a few extra steps when done manually, all from this page: https://www.unrealircd.org/docs/Upgrading_from_5.x
This was documented specifically for working around the built in updater to go from 5.x to 6.x while also doing a build for pissircd specifically.
This upgrade method will also work for those running vanilla unrealircd and upgrading to pissircd. But we're making a backup of your unrealircd folder regardless.
There's no risk in this upgrade method aside from a minute of downtime should you be unable to restart.
The fun bit: You can build, upgrade and make all changes while your ircd is running, needing only to stop and restart when done.
---
- Remove all of your previous build and backup folders (you won't be using the built in unrealircd upgrader, so clear out the old cruft.)
- Back up your unrealircd folder (cp -R unrealircd backup.unrealircd)
- git clone https://github.com/pissnet/pissircd
- cd pissircd && ./Config
- Hit enter on everything (defaults)
- make
- make install
- cd ..
- cd unrealircd
- cd conf
- nano unrealircd.conf
- Comment out the entire block for > log "ircd.log"
- from log "ircd.log"
- including "flags {"
- to second "}"
- (Needed for 6.x, otherwise your conf fails checks.)
- Add the following:
log {
source {
!debug;
all;
}
destination {
file "ircd.log" { maxsize 100M; }
}
}
include "snomasks.default.conf";
loadmodule "cloak_md5";
- Save (Ctrl X)
- cd ..
- ./unrealircd stop
- ./unrealircd start
---
You should be running piss60 successfully.
If not, delete 'unrealircd' ( rm -rf ~/unrealircd ) folder and rename 'backup.unrealircd' to 'unrealircd' ( mv backup.unrealircd unrealircd )
Nothing will be lost except uptime.
