Pulsebot is a bot listening to pulse.mozilla.org for mercurial changes and notifying channels accordingly. It uses the willie bot for all interactions with IRC servers.
The current setup used on irc.mozilla.org can be replicated as follows:
sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
virtualenv bot
bot/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
Then create a pulsebot.cfg configuration:
bot/bin/python -m pulsebot.config > pulsebot.cfg
If you already have a pulsebot.cfg file, you shall update it with the new
default configuration:
bot/bin/python -m pulsebot.config > pulsebot.cfg.new
# Check the differences
diff -u pulsebot.cfg pulsebot.cfg.new
mv pulsebot.cfg.new pulsebot.cfg
The bot can then be started with:
bot/bin/python -m pulsebot
