About ----- This is a simple plugin for the Ruby IRC bot rbot, which can be found at http://linuxbrit.co.uk/rbot . The plugin allows rbot instances to fetch information about bugs present on a given bugzilla installation by fetching the XML data of the requested bug, and then shows a summary line on the channel or the query where it was requested. A default set of configured Bugzilla installations can be found in the Berkeley DB dump file in this tarball, this includes Bugzilla installations for: Gentoo, xine, Linux kernel, KDE, GNOME, SourceMage Linux, Mozilla, FreeDesktop, Netbeans, SpamAssassin, Eclipse, Apache, GCC, atheme (Audacious and other projects), Novell and RedHat. Instructions ------------ The default Bugzilla installations data is included as an ASCII text dump suitable for loading into the Berkeley DB. If you want to load this into your rbot instance, just create the registry before starting the bot with the command: db_load ${RBOTHOME}/registry/bugzillaplugin.db < registry.dump Note: on some distributions, like Gentoo, the db_load command has to be replaced by the proper version of the Berkley DB command to use, like db4.6_load. Requirements ------------ Optionally, the plugin can use HTML Entities for Ruby to decode the HTML entities referenced in the bugs' descriptions, which is available at http://htmlentities.rubyforge.org/ . Licensing --------- The plugin is released under the Affero General Public License 3 (or at your option, any later version). For this reason, the "zilla source" download will report the URL where to download the source. If you make any change to the source code, you should then make them available, and change the plugin_sources function accordingly.
