[15:51] <AlanBell> ping Pici
[17:32] <dutchie> I believe wolter has asked about getting an ubottu (clone) in #ubuntu-manual
[17:33] <wolter> ah, yes.. I asked tsimpson
[17:33] <wolter> !botclone
[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
[17:34] <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
[17:35] <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
[17:36] <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
[17:38] <dutchie> do I need to do anything special to run a bot?
[17:39] <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
[17:40] <dutchie> right, I'll take a look thanks
[17:40] <tsimpson> you'll also need to install python-soappy for Bugtracker
[17:41] <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 :)
[17:42] <dutchie> :)
[17:47] <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 :)
[17:49] <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)
[17:50] <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
[17:52] <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
[17:57] <tsimpson> it was written in 2008 I think, so there's bound to be stuff missing
[18:02] <Ddorda> Hey all, I have an important thing to talk with someone who's related to the LoCos
[18:07] <tsimpson> Ddorda: #ubuntu-locoteams may be helpful
[18:08] <Ddorda> tsimpson: no one answer in there
[18:10] <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
[18:11] <Ddorda> tsimpson: where can I join this list?
[18:13] <tsimpson> you don't need to join it, you can just post to it
[18:14] <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
[18:54] <m4v> JigabuMemin was trolling in #u-es, /whois shows he's in #ubuntu and #u-ot
[18:57] <jpds> m4v: He's gone.
[22:07] <dutchie> hey, just checking out some supybot plugins. Do you know where I might get http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins#Svn?
[22:09] <tsimpson> not sure I've published it
[22:10] <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
[22:11] <dutchie> also, where do the factoids that are in the moderation queue end up?
[22:12] <tsimpson> there is no actual queue, they just get forwarded to supybot.plugins.Encyclopedia.relaychannel
[22:13] <dutchie> will sticking a nick to pm in there work? (ie mine)
[22:13] <tsimpson> sure
[22:13] <dutchie> excellent
[22:58] <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?
[23:13] <humphreybc> nevermind
