irker - submission tools for IRC notifications
|
|
|
|
irkerd is a specialized IRC client that runs as a daemon, allowing
|
|
other programs to ship IRC notifications by sending JSON objects to a
|
|
listening socket.
|
|
|
|
It is meant to be used by hook scripts in version-control
|
|
repositories, allowing them to send commit notifications to project
|
|
IRC channels. A hook script, irkerhook.py, supporting git, hg, and
|
|
Subversion is included in the distribution; see the install.adoc file
|
|
for installation instructions.
|
|
|
|
The advantage of using this daemon over individual scripted sends
|
|
is that it can maintain connection state for multiple channels,
|
|
avoiding obnoxious join/leave spam.
|
|
|
|
The file install.adoc describes how to install the software safely, so
|
|
it can't be used as a spam conduit.
|
|
|
|
Please read the files security.adoc and hacking.adoc before modifying
|
|
this code.
