Well, do you want to tell every user who has such a question to join #gentoo-stats and then to do "@basc package" or "@file filename"? This would be a fulltimejob... ;) Btw. the bot also makes some irc-statistics which also can be useful: http://www.gentoo-stats.org/irclogs/gentoo-stats.html I'm already working on it to make it able to /msg or /query the bot, but well, you or someone else first must tell the user who has asked, what to do (how to /query or /msg the bot and the commands...). If the bot sits in the chennel, you can simply do: "@basc [the_nick_of_the_user_who_has_asked] <package>" Then the bot will reply directly to this user. -- http://de.gentoo-wiki.com Alexander Mieland (aka dma147) http://www.gentoo-stats.org Registered Linux-User #249600 http://www.php-programs.de GnuGPG-ID: 27491179 http://www.affen-in-not.de www.php-programs.de/dma147.asc
