James Lu 20474dabac relay: fix many bugs with nick collision handling, and add flood prevention for fixing nicks 
Closes #85. Nick collisions caused by internal clients are handled fine now, including the following cases:
- Abusing spawnClient to create a user with the same nick as a relay client, but with a lower TS.
- When both an UID (e.g. 42XAAAAAA) and a tagged UID (_42XAAAAAA) exist on the same network (the two will both try to take the same nick of _42XAAAAAA/net over the relay).

The case where changing NICK from a long cut-off nick to another long cut-off nick is also mitigated. somelongnick/net won't show nick changes to somelongnic//net if the old and new nicks have give the same normalized relay nick.

This introduces a new dependency, expiringdict, from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/expiringdict/1.1.2, which is used as a cache for flood prevention.

PyLink

PyLink is an extensible, plugin-based IRC PseudoService written in Python. It aims to be a replacement for the now-defunct Janus.

Usage

PyLink is a work in progress and thus may be very unstable! No warranty is provided if this completely wrecks your network and causes widespread rioting amongst your users!

That said, please report any bugs you find to the issue tracker. Pull requests are open if you’d like to contribute.

Dependencies

Dependencies currently include:

  • Python 3.4+
  • PyYAML (pip install pyyaml or apt-get install python3-yaml)
  • For the relay plugin only: expiringdict (pip install expiringdict/apt-get install python3-expiringdict)

Supported IRCds

  • InspIRCd 2.0.x - module inspircd
  • charybdis (3.5.x / git master) - module ts6
  • Elemental-IRCd (6.6.x / git master) - module ts6

Installation

  1. Rename config.yml.example to config.yml and configure your instance there. Not all options are properly implemented yet, and the configuration schema isn’t finalized yet - this means that your configuration may break in an update!

  2. Run main.py from the command line.

  3. Profit???
