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. + + Eric S.
