Hello all, I want to ask the people which are responsible for #gentoo and #gentoo.de if I'm allowed to let the Basc-Bot idle in these channels.
This Bot *only* responds on two commands:
@basc [nick] <package> -- Sends the packagename to our
Buildtime-database and asks it for the time it would take to merge
it. If [nick] was not specified, the bot will reply to the nickname
of the caller. The mergetimes are related to our reference system:
Intel P4 2,6 GHz, 512 MB Ram. The mergetimes will be shown like this:
[dd]:hh:mm:ss
@file [nick] <filename> -- Sends the filename to our filesearch-database
and asks it for the appropriate gentoo-packages. If [nick] was not
specified, the bot will reply to the nickname of the caller.
These are commands which are not available through any program on the
commandline.
If someone wants to know which package provides a specific file, this
could be done by etcat, or qpkg, but only if this package is installed
on this local machine. Our database holds every file of very, really
very much packages and this filedatabase is growing every day. So there
can be searched for such packages which provides one specific file if
this package is not installed on the local machine.
Remember: How much questions are coming every day, which asks: "how long
does this or that package take to merge...?" or "which package
holds /usr/lib/foo-bar.so...?"
If someone wants to test the bot, he can /join #gentoo-stats.
Note: in #gentoo-stats there are several other commands available to the
bot, which will not be available in the channels listed above.
(Try @list and then @help <pluginname>)
