Fwd: CIA going down: KGB wants your commits!

To: debian-project(a)lists.debian.org, Debian Developers <debian-devel(a)lists.debian.org> Hi there! Not to "to knock 'em when they're down", but since it seems that the CIA.vc service has officially closed recently (cannot find exactly when did that happen), I think it's worthwhile offering this little project we (dam@, gregoa@, and me) have since a few years ago, called KGB (ha-ha). It's a very simple and dumb client-server architecture: IRC bots running in our personal servers listen for SOAP messages sent by kgb-clients called from post-commit hooks in repos out there. The bot just relays and formats a message, nothing fancier than that. So, if you're looking for a simple IRC notification of your commits, this might be of help. You can either run your own bot (debian package kgb-bot), or use ours. As for the client, alioth does not have it installed, but you can run it off /home/groups/kgb. There's a sample configuration there too. In /home/groups/pkg-perl/meta/pkg-perl-post-receive you can see how to use it from a post-commit hook. If you rather use our bots, we'll need you to provide: a project/repository name, an IRC channel, and a password (used to avoid spam, not really secure). -- Martín Ferrari -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Hi there!
Not to "to knock 'em when they're down", but since it seems that the CIA.vc service has officially closed recently (cannot find exactly when did that happen), I think it's worthwhile offering this little project we (dam@, gregoa@, and me) have since a few years ago, called KGB (ha-ha).

So, if you're looking for a simple IRC notification of your commits, this might be of help. I'd like to put forward another alternative, from the guy who maintained the CIA scripts for git:
http://www.catb.org/esr/irker/ (Yeah, that ESR.) After the CIA announcement, he rushed to get it out as a replacement, though he's seen this coming and has been working on this for quite some time. It's even backwards-compatible (to some extent) with CIA: it can take XML-RPC notifications sent by CIA clients. Just making sure you evaluate all your options. :) Oh, and personally, I wouldn't trust anything associated with the KGB. (Just kidding... ;) Chip
