Enabling SSL in ircd-hybrid on Debian
Due to licensing problems, ircd-hybrid is compiled without SSL support in Debian (i.e. when you grab the .deb package from apt). Compiling it with SSL yourself does not require many steps however, heres a quick dirty guide how its done.

Ok I lost 2 days with that !!
Why do you package a .DEB you did not test ? Manual in ircd-hybrid (README.debian) says it’s easy to enable SSL : I see no error message, no open SSL port !
What don’t you just write in documents : SSL unavailable in the package, it is impossible to activate it without building the archive .gz from the original team which did not commit for 290 days !
Hope you’ll read my last two posts about Debian on my blog.
