[http://www.irc.perl.org/ New to IRC]? === Message Relay Now Available on `#parrot` === (Adapted from Will Coleda's posting on our mailing list Aug 29 2007.) ''purl'' in `#parrot` now supports message relay, thanks to `Masque++`. To send a message to another user via ''purl'', you can (either in private conversation with ''purl'' or in `#parrot`), type: {{{ 19:15 <@Fred> msg Coke The frobulator is borken. 19:15 <+purl> Message for coke stored. }}} Note that your msg entry does not begin with the forward slash character (/) which other IRC commands begin with. Then, when ''purl'' sees the recipient unidle, she will send them a private message: {{{ 19:16 You have 1 message waiting. }}} Respond to the private message with: {{{ 19:16 messages 19:16 You received the following messages: 19:16 Fred [Wed Aug 29 16:15:57 2007] said: The frobulator is borken. }}} When you're done, don't forget to erase the messages (still in private:) {{{ 19:16 messages erase 19:16 Messages erased }}} Note that timestamps are based on ''purl'' 's time zone, not yours. Note that ''gossipbot'' (née ''messagebot'') was a completely separate code base developed by `Infinoid` (based on a throw away idea from me); As this was being tested, ''purl'' started responding to some of the automated messages, and `masque` was prompted to fix purl's messages. ''gossipbot'' is now frozen in an svn repository somewhere; long live ''purl''! === ''svnbotl'' on `#parrot` === ''svnbotl'' is our intermittently functioning SVN log bot. The following instructions in operating ''svnbotl'' are non-definitive and not guaranteed to work for you. (Isn't that reassuring!) You must have an account on the feather server. Log in to feather. {{{ ssh youraccount@feather.perl6.nl }}} Open a screen session. {{{ screen }}} Enter this command: {{{ pugs -I/home/audreyt/pugs/blib6/lib /home/audreyt/pugs/examples/network/svnbot.pl svnbotl irc.perl.org:6667 300 http://svn.perl.org/parrot true true #parrot }}} Once the bot is operating, you can detach from your ''screen'' session. {{{ Ctrl+A,d }}} Then, on `#parrot`, enter: {{{ /invite svnbotl #parrot }}} And it might work! Note: ''snvbotl'' has historically had a tendency to leave the channel when processing commits with many files.t/">
