svnbot -- A commit notification bot:

As nice as the CIA Open Source Notification System[1] is, I wanted
something a little more simple.  I was not overly interested in
statistics, and Trac[2] provides most of what I need in a web-based
interface to Subversion[3], I just wanted a simple IRC bot that would
alert people when something is committed to a repository.

Since I have been present in the #trac IRC channel on Freenode, I have
noticed whippingboy[4].  I am told this is just a Supybot[5] with an RSS
plugin, which polls Trac's timeline RSS feed from a cron job.


REQUIREMENTS

svnbot is written in Python, and uses the Twisted API:

  * Python (>=2.2), from http://python.org/
  * Twisted 1.3, from http://twistedmatrix.com/ (untested in Twisted 2)


USAGE

Twisted provides packaging facilities to supposedly make things easy on
running and configuring Twisted applications, but I haven't done that
yet. :)

Instead, edit svnbot.py to change the IRC server and channel, and run
with:

    twistd -oy svnbot.py


TODO

  * Stuff
