irker - submission tool for IRC notifications irker is a specialized IRC client that runs as a daemon, allowing other programs to ship IRC notifications by sending JSON objects to a listening socket. It is meant to be used by hook scripts in version- control repositories, allowing them to send commit notifications to project IRC channels. A hook script supporting git and Subversion is included. See the install.txt file for installation instructions. Due to the abrupt death of cia.vc in late September 2012 the inmitial release of this software was a bit rushed. See the file BUGS for known problems. Eric S. Raymond August 2012
