Anope Testers Required!

Hi there,

The Anope Quality Assurance team is currently seeking several networks to help us review and debug the development release, before the launch of the next stable release.

We require networks willing to run the latest development versions, straight from SVN, and preferrably without any modules loaded. Any bugs that are found should be reported via a special mailing list.

Any networks that apply, and are subsequently accepted, will benefit from a "Thank You" notice on the Anope homepage, and a reference in the Credits file. If you are a network listed on SearchIRC, you are more than willing to assist us Smile

If you wish to apply, please e-mail qa @ anope.org with answers to the following questions:

- What is the name of your network?
- What is your network address?
- What is your average userbase?
- Which IRCd does your network use? (/quote version server-address on IRC)
- Which OS is the server running under? (uname -a at the shell prompt / exact version of Windows from the System Info dialog)
- Which version of GCC are you running? (gcc -v at the shell prompt / Copy the header from cl on Windows)
- How many servers does your network have?
- Would you be willing to upgrade Anope at least every week?

Thanks,

Chris Hogben

I've implemented a feature on my services that opens a port on localhost. This way, test services can be connected there. All messages coming from the IRC Server then get passed through, answers are being ignored. It's really useful - you can test services under full production environment conditions without having to expose users to beta versions.

Err..

It doesnt really allow you to test and find issues with the software though, it just allows you to parse the messages.

The bugs found this close to a stable release are typically minor or easy to fix.
