ngircd and charybdis do NOT appear to be able to talk to each other

[delfuego]

I just wanted to let you know that in my hour-plus of testing tonight, I am unable to get ngircd to talk server-to-server with charybdis, no matter what I try (and with extensive on-the-wire debugging to see if I could figure out where the negotiation was breaking down). So ultimately, this means that so far as I can tell, the IRC daemon you're including in this puppet config won't talk to the IRC daemon running on tilde.club.

Figured you'd want to know.

I just confirmed — ngircd won't interoperate with charybdis (and with most other IRC servers), since it uses the literal RFC spec for its server-to-server communication, whereas most other servers use one of two alternate protocols for server-to-server comms. The rightmost column in this table shows which current servers use which protocols.

I might fork this repo and replace the IRC puppet module to charybdis to see if it's workable...
