Is there any way to convert the data base files from auspice to anope? I need to change and I want to use anope. If any one can help it will be greatly appreciated.

Apparently, IRCServices has a converter for Auspice. You can convert from Auspice, to IRCServices. Then, convert from IRCServices to Anope.

Ya I know that exists but it doesnt work for me. It must be a hit or miss thing.

I know this doesn't really help, but I just wanted to mention that I am really glad that anope is developing SQL support. Using a database server to store services data is a really good idea, in my opinion.

It will be, but it's in very early days at the moment.

One big thing to note is that dropping a nick in Anope, DOESNT drop it in the mysql db. Not a good thing if you want authentication via a website. (the website thinks they are authed, while services goes "huh? you cant send a memo! you arent registered.... ARGH!"

Get my drift?

I have (very very) preliminary plans to switch Winse over to MySQL before we code a lot of database stuff...

Well that's bad for other reasons too. It means your database will get larger and larger even if your userbase never does. As long as people register a nickname, your database will grow and will never shrink.

... surely Anope does "garbage collect" every now and then?

Not afaik. Havent checked the source, but i've seen nicks over 8 weeks old kept in the mysql database.

Makes me wonder what would happen if someone tried to register one of those nicks.
