Comment 1 Nedko Arnaudov 2024-04-13 18:26:34 UTC
By default --disable-ircplus is supplied (the ircplus USE flag is disabled by default), which causes the failure. Upstream, suggests to enable ircplus by default:

21:16 <~po||ux> nedko: so right now, this test _always_ fails when IRC+ is disabled.
21:16 <~po||ux> (which we probably should fix …)
21:16 <nedko> i'm verifying locally
21:16 <nedko> i disabled irc+ and now the tests are rolling
21:17 <~po||ux> on the other hand, you definitely should _not_ disable "IRC+" – which basically are the ngIRCd-specific extensions to the IRC protocol.
21:17 <~po||ux> this was more or less for debugging and testing only, to make ngIRCd more similar to the ircd2.10 back in the days.
21:18 <~po||ux> back then, you could run mixed networks: ngIRCd was (is?) able to link to (now outdated) ircd2.10.x servers.
