Scaffold the federated services daemon
Protocol-agnostic core: a Protocol trait maps raw server-to-server lines to a
normalized event/action model, so the engine never touches a raw line and a new
ircd is one new module. Adds event-log state (state is a fold over the log) and
a service framework. First protocol impl links to an InspIRCd (insp4) uplink —
completes the CAPAB/SERVER handshake, bursts, and introduces NickServ.

fedserv

A federated IRC services daemon in Rust. Protocol-agnostic core, InspIRCd link first.

Clean-room — inspired by the ideas behind modern event-log/gossip services, not derived from any project's source.

Design

  • proto/ — the ircd link layer. A Protocol trait maps raw server-to-server lines to/from a normalized NetEvent/NetAction model. The engine never touches a raw line, so a new ircd = one new module. InspIRCd is the first.
  • engine/ — the services engine: live network state, an EventLog (every persistent change is an Event; state is a fold over the log — this is what makes replicating across nodes a later addition, not a rewrite), and the Service trait.
  • services/ — the pseudo-clients: NickServ first, then ChanServ / OperServ / …

Run

cp config.example.toml config.toml   # edit uplink + link password
cargo run -- config.toml

Status

Early scaffold: links to an InspIRCd uplink and introduces NickServ. Burst/mode handling and account persistence are next.
