in place; in fact, this is now discouraged. It is entirely
configurable with the following git config variables:
-ciabot.project = name of the project (required)
+ciabot.project = name of the project
ciabot.repo = name of the project repo for gitweb/cgit purposes
-ciabot.xmlrpc = if true (default), ship notifications via XML-RPC
+ciabot.xmlrpc = if true, ship notifications via XML-RPC
ciabot.revformat = format in which the revision is shown
-The ciabot.repo value defaults to ciabot.project lowercased.
-
The revformat variable may have the following values
raw -> full hex ID of commit
short -> first 12 chars of hex ID
describe -> describe relative to last tag, falling back to short
-The default is 'describe'.
+
+ciabot.project defaults to the directory name of the repository toplevel.
+ciabot.repo defaults to ciabot.project lowercased.
+ciabot.xmlrpc defaults to True
+ciabot.revformat defaults to 'describe'.
+
+This means that in the normal case you need not do any configuration at all,
+however setting ciabot.project will allow the hook to run slightly faster.
Once you've set these variables, try your script with -n to see the
notification message dumped to stdout and verify that it looks sane.
+To live-test these scripts, your project needs to have been registered with
+the CIA site. Here are the steps:
+
+1. Open an IRC window on irc://freenode/commits or your registered
+ project IRC channel.
+
+2. Run ciabot.py and/or ciabot.sh from any directory under git
+ control.
+
+You should see a notification on the channel for your most recent commit.
+
After verifying correct function, install one of these scripts either
in a post-commit hook or in an update hook.
