1These are hook scripts for the CIA notification service at <http://cia.vc/> 2 3They are maintained by Eric S. Raymond <esr@thyrsus.com>. There is an 4upstream resource page for them at <http://www.catb.org/esr/ciabot/>, 5but they are unlikely to change rapidly. 6 7You probably want the Python version; it's faster, more capable, and 8better documented. The shell version is maintained only as a fallback 9for use on hosting sites that don't permit Python hook scripts. 10 11To test these scripts, your project needs to have been registered with 12the CIA site. Here are the steps: 13 141. Open an IRC window on irc://freenode/commits or your registered 15 project IRC channel. 16 172. Run ciabot.py and/or ciabot.sh from any directory under git 18 control, using the -p option to pass in your project name. 19 20You should see a notification on the channel for your most recent commit. 21 22See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
