ngIRCd release 17

Updated doc/Platforms.txt for upcoming release 17

contrib/platformtest.sh: make command name quoting consistent

contrib/ngircd-redhat.init: updated email address of Naoya Nakazawa

Fix up generation and distribution of sample-ngircd.conf - Add generated sample-ngircd.conf to new .gitignore file, - refactor Makefile.am to generate sample-ngircd.conf on "make all", to clean it up on "make clean", and to install it to the correct place. - Make sure path names in sample-ngircd.conf are separated by "/".

doc: change path names in sample-ngircd.conf depending on sysconfdir

ngIRCd Release 17~rc3

Fix connect attempts to further IP addresses of outgoing server links If a hostname resolves to more than one IP address (round-robin DNS, IPv4 and IPv6) and an attempt to connect to the first address fails, ngIRCd should try to connect to the 2nd address, 3rd address etc. But because of a wrong variable used in the call to New_Server(), the wrong server structure has been used in further connection attemps which possibly lead to connection attempts to already connected servers.

Debian: Install default /etc/pam.d/ngircd allowing all logins This is required for backwards compatibility when installing the -full or -full-dbg package variant: PAM is enabled now but no configuration present, so all login attempts would be denied ... Creating /etc/pam.d/ngircd including "auth required pam_permit.so" restores the old behaviour of allowing all connections.

Debian: update standards to 3.9.1; add libpam0g-dev dependency

Make contrib/platformtest.sh more portable

Mac OS X package ("make osxpkg"): generate PAM configuration

Xcode builds ("make xcode"): disable pam_fail_delay() disable pam_fail_delay() only is available starting with Mac OS X 10.6; but we use the 10.5 SDK for campatibility, so don't use this function at all when building using Xcode.

Xcode: update project file, use 10.5.x SDK This is required for universal 32 bit and 64 bit builds: now code for ppc, i386, and x86_64 is generated (which requires 10.5 or newer).

Xcode builds ("make xcode"): detect version number correctly

ngIRCd release 17~rc2

Updated contrib/platformtest.sh (new version scheme) - handle version numbers generated by "git describe" - detect gcc compiler version correctly when "-std=xxx" is used

New doc/HowToRelease.txt file describing the release process

ZeroConf: include header files missing since commit a988bbc86a

Generate ngIRCd version number from GIT tag Now the ngIRCd release/version number is deduced from the "current" annotated GIT tag; see "git describe --help" for details. This is the same scheme the Linux kernel uses and gives much more details version numbers for interim releases and inofficial source archives generated using "make dist". Please note: the version number is only updated it the autogen.sh script is run; so after pulling in and pushing out new commits, you should run ./autogen.sh!

Make sourcecode compatible with ansi2knr again This allows to compile ngIRCd using a pre-ANSI K&R C compiler again: all source files are automatically converted by the included ansi2knr program (of GNU automake/autoconf) before compiling them with the K&R C compiler, but a few coding standards must be met. Tested on Apple A/UX 3.x. Regression testing on Linux and Mac OS X.

./configure: check if C compiler can compile ISO Standard C This is required for enabling ansi2knr on systems that don't have an ANSI C compiler installed (e.g. on A/UX with Apple standard C compiler).

./configure: check support for C prototypes again

Don't use PARAMS() macro for function implementations The PARAMS() macro is only needed for function prototypes; don't use it for the actual implementations.

Added m68k/apple/aux3.0.1 (gcc 2.7.2) to doc/Platforms.txt
