Wikibugs is a bot which writes bug reports to IRC. It is a perl mail pipe processor which is executed by the MTA. It writes IRC-formatted log lines to a file, to be read by an IRC client such as ircecho.
The source is in svn. The source is in git. (wikimedia/bugzilla/wikibugs).
Ops
It runs on mchenry, the mail server. It's installed at /usr/local/bin/wikibugs, and exim is configured to start it via /etc/exim4/aliases/wikimedia.org
To start the IRC part:
/usr/local/bin/start-wikibugs-bot
To kill the IRC part:
killall -u wikibugs
Related services
Depends on:
- lists.wikimedia.org wikibugs-l list
- If for some reason the bug has been down, check that on wikibugs-l mailman that wikibugs-irc is receiving mail and not muted due to a bounce
- bugzilla.wikimedia.org source of bug mail notifications
- irc.freenode.net for output into #mediawiki
How to set it up
First, install the perl dependencies:
- apt-get install build-essential
- perl -MCPAN -e 'install Email::MIME'
- this may not work. See this thread which explains you must go into CPAN shell and do:
- o conf make /usr/bin/make
- this may not work. See this thread which explains you must go into CPAN shell and do:
-
svn export --force svn+ssh://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/wikibugs /usr/local/binGet the latest version from git and copy it over to /usr/local/bin/wikibugs. - Set up a filter in the MTA. For example the current configuration on mchenry uses the following line in /etc/exim4/aliases/wikimedia.org, presumably with wikibugs-irc subscribed to the mailing list:
- wikibugs-irc: |/usr/local/bin/wikibugs.pl
- useradd wikibugs
- Start the bot using /usr/local/bin/start-wikibugs-bot
