This directory contains the supybot plugins that allow you to create a clone of
ubottu for your channels.

ubottu for your channels. This file contains some basic setup information that
will be useful when setting up an ubottu clone for the first time.
These plugins are designed to work with Python 2.5 and Python 2.6, they are
untested and unsupported on Python 3.0. The recommended way to set-up these
plugins is to first create a directory for the bot, then move this directory to
there and rename it to "plugins". Alternatively you can create an empty plugins
directory and create links to each separate plugin directory inside there.
After that you should make sure you have the following installed on the system:

Then in the bot directory containing the "plugins" sub-directory, run the
command "supybot-wizard". This wizard will guide you through the process of
setting up the bot for an IRC network. You should use the default answers when
unsure. When the wizard asks "Would you like to look at plugins individually?"
answer "y", there you will be presented with a list of plugins to choose.
(Optional)
Launchpadlib python-launchpadlib https://launchpad.net/launchpadlib

If you enabled the Encyclopedia plugin, an initial database will be created in
the "data" directory and will be named "ubuntu.db". You can obtain the same
database that ubottu uses by overwriting the file with the one located at
<https://ubottu.com/ubuntu.db> or by running the "@sync" command on the bot
from IRC.
Launchpadlib will become a required module for Bugtracker (and possibly others)
Once these packages are installed, and in the bot directory containing the
"plugins" sub-directory, run this command: "supybot-wizard".

When the wizard asks "Would you like to look at plugins individually?" answer
"y", there you will be presented with a list of plugins to choose. The ones
from ubuntu-bots are:
Name Description
Bantracker Helps to track bans/kicks/quiets/removes in channels
Bugtracker Show information on bugs for various bug trackers.
Encyclopedia A factoid encyclopaedia.
IRCLogin Allows password-less login from users identified to services.
Lart A database of "larts". (Unmaintained)
Mess Random mess, pulls random things from the internet. (Unmaintained)
PackageInfo Lookup information on Debian packages and file search.
(works on Debian and derivatives only, unless you take special measures)
Webcal Updates a channel topic based on events in an iCal. (Unmaintained)
Note: Mess and Lart are largely unmaintained but are working, Webcal is
unmaintained and mostly broken except for extremely simple iCal feeds.
If you chose to enable Bantracker or Encyclopedia, initial databases will be
created in the "data" directory. These are named "bans.db" for the Bantracker
plugin and "ubuntu.db" for the Encyclopedia plugin. You can obtain the same
database that ubottu uses by overwriting the "ubuntu.db" file with the one
located at http://ubottu.com/ubuntu.db or by running the "@sync" command with
the bot in IRC.
The Bantracker database from ubottu is not available to the
public, as it will contain logs of channels which are not publically logged.
If you enabled the PackageInfo plugin several .list files will be created in
If you enabled the PackageInfo plugin, several .list files will be created in
"data/aptdir/", these will be used with the "apt-cache" and "apt-file" commands
to retrieve package information and find files within packages.
When asked if you want to run the "update_apt" script you should
answer "y" to download the package information, this will take a while
depending on the speed of your connection and proximity to the default servers.
The same is true for the "update_apt_file" script, which will only be ran if
"apt-file" is installed. You should then edit the two scripts replacing the path
in "DIR=/home/bot/aptdir" with the path to your aptdir, which should be under
"data/aptdir" in your bots directory. You can then set up a cron job that will
run the two scripts daily, weekly or monthly. These scripts should be ran as
the user the bot is run as.

Once you have selected the plugins you want to enable, you will be asked "Would
you like to set the prefix char(s) for your bot?", you should answer "y" and
set it to anything other than the prefix character for Encyclopedia and
PacakgeInfo. If you weren't asked, it defaults to '!' for those plugins. The

recommended character to use is '@'. Do not set the prefix chacter for commands
and for the plugins to the same value, you will run into trouble.
