| dutchie | I believe wolter has asked about getting an ubottu (clone) in #ubuntu-manual | 17:32 |
| wolter | ah, yes.. I asked tsimpson | 17:33 |
| wolter | !botclone | 17:33 |
| ubottu | Ubottu uses supybot, which is available in the main !repositories, with additional plugins that are available at http://ubottu.com/clone.html | 17:33 |
| dutchie | would it be possible for one of ubot4 or ubot2` to join it if ubottu itself is overworked? | 17:33 |
| dutchie | otherwise, I don't mind hosting it myself, just want to make sure of the etiquette of running a bot | 17:33 |
| tsimpson | we could assign one of ubot2`, ubot4, or ukbot if you just want simple factoid lookup and bug tracking | 17:34 |
| tsimpson | ok, so not ukbot ;) | 17:34 |
| dutchie | ;) | 17:34 |
| dutchie | yeah, I don't think we need anything more than that to be honest | 17:34 |
| wolter | yeah | 17:35 |
| wolter | just a simple bot that would help out with factoids | 17:35 |
| wolter | and stuff | 17:35 |
| wolter | maybe flood control? I don't know... it is not a need right now | 17:35 |
| dutchie | the bug lookup thing is handy too | 17:35 |
| wolter | but these last weeks a lot of flooding has been going on at several channels | 17:35 |
| dutchie | flood control could be done by modes on the channel iirc | 17:36 |
| wolter | yeah, very handy.. in general, we want the most interaction possible between the bot and our launchpad team page | 17:36 |
| wolter | oh ok, I am a little ignorant as you can see ;) | 17:36 |
| dutchie | I don't mind maintaining a slight fork if we need custom wiki stuff | 17:36 |
| dutchie | do I need to do anything special to run a bot? | 17:38 |
| tsimpson | you'll need supybot first, and python-sqlite for Encyclopedia (factoids) | 17:39 |
| dutchie | do I need clearance from freenode or anything like that? | 17:39 |
| tsimpson | no | 17:39 |
| dutchie | right, I'll take a look thanks | 17:40 |
| tsimpson | you'll also need to install python-soappy for Bugtracker | 17:40 |
| tsimpson | you just setup supybot (using supybot-wizard), make sure to say yes when it asks about adding another plugins directory. and choose something like '@' for the character the bot will respond to | 17:41 |
| tsimpson | then checkout the plugins to your custom plugin directory and have fun trying to make it work :) | 17:41 |
| dutchie | :) | 17:42 |
| DJones | dutchie: Have a look at http://ubottu.com/guide/ I used that getting a clone working, it covered most things that were needed | 17:47 |
| wolter | haha that "trying" didn't sound very nice | 17:47 |
| dutchie | it'll give me something interesting to do this evening :) | 17:47 |
| tsimpson | it's a old and incomplete guide, I know, I wrote it :) | 17:49 |
| tsimpson | but it should get you started | 17:49 |
| tsimpson | (a new, more complete guide is planned) | 17:49 |
| DJones | tsimpson: I think I only found two things that weren't mention and that was installing a couple of extra packages for the plugins, apart from that it was good and very helpful | 17:50 |
| DJones | and I think those packages could well be default installs in a server edition and it was just a home machine that hadn't previously needed them | 17:52 |
| tsimpson | it was written in 2008 I think, so there's bound to be stuff missing | 17:57 |
| Ddorda | Hey all, I have an important thing to talk with someone who's related to the LoCos | 18:02 |
| tsimpson | Ddorda: #ubuntu-locoteams may be helpful | 18:07 |
| Ddorda | tsimpson: no one answer in there | 18:08 |
| tsimpson | Ddorda: you can always emial the LoCo Council if required: loco-council@lists.ubuntu.com | 18:10 |
| Ddorda | tsimpson: very serious, thanks a lot | 18:10 |
| Ddorda | tsimpson: where can I join this list? | 18:11 |
| tsimpson | you don't need to join it, you can just post to it | 18:13 |
| Ddorda | tsimpson: but I want to see the answers.. will I get answers? | 18:14 |
| tsimpson | they'll add you to the To or Cc | 18:14 |

| dutchie | hey, just checking out some supybot plugins. Do you know where I might get http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Svn? | 22:07 |
| tsimpson | not sure I've published it | 22:09 |
| dutchie | doesn't seem to be in the lp:ubuntu-bots branch | 22:10 |
| tsimpson | it's in my experimental branch https://code.launchpad.net/~tsimpson/ubuntu-bots/experimental | 22:10 |
| dutchie | great, thanks | 22:10 |
| dutchie | also, where do the factoids that are in the moderation queue end up? | 22:11 |
| tsimpson | there is no actual queue, they just get forwarded to supybot.plugins.Encyclopedia.relaychannel | 22:12 |
| dutchie | will sticking a nick to pm in there work? (ie mine) | 22:13 |
| tsimpson | sure | 22:13 |
| dutchie | excellent | 22:13 |
| humphreybc | hey, so I created the #ubuntu-manual channel which was sweet and I was an OP for a while till i logged out for the first time. How do I make myself an OP in the channel automagically so I can change the topic? | 22:58 |
| humphreybc | nevermind | 23:13 |
