EFNet introduces Global Glines

Saturday, February 12th, 2005

EFNet is going to implement global glines. Previously, glines were only required on the European section of this network.

The vote, called for by Hardy, calls for glines with duration times from not less then 6 hours, to a maximum of 7 days.

“If the vote is approved, all servers will be required to activate glines within a 14 day period”, the vote explains. “Failure to comply will result in the server(s) being removed from the network.”

The glines were accepted with 10 no, and 18 yes votes.

EFnet tests OpenChanfix

Tuesday, November 16th, 2004

EFnet reports it will be testing the OpenChanfix variant of its Chanfix service. It is not a test to see if the opensource variant can replace the current Chanfix however.

Garion, one of the two OpenChanfix coders, said in a reaction to IRC-Junkie: “This is not a replacement, but a test to see whether OCF is really ready for production. Of course we have tested it extensively, but it is extremely difficult to create a good test environment which is a perfect copy of EFnet. That’s why we’ve decided to test it on EFnet itself.”
