Hi Clement,
I’ve been looking at the ircbot app code and I think what needs to be done is the
following:
* Make it support several bots instead of one. Instead of "@Inject private IRCBot
bot”, use “@Inject private MultiBotManager multiBotManager” + change APIs
* Allow having several Bot config xobjects (one per bot) on the ircbot config page (ie.
IRC.IRCConfiguration)
* Internally use the PircBotX MultiBotManager
(http://thelq.github.io/pircbotx/latest/apidocs/org/pircbotx/MultiBotManager…)
* Add a new config data for IRCBotListener which corresponds to the ids of the Bots for
which the listener must be active. So both on the Java side and for the
IRC.IRCBotListenerClas xclass.
* For the moment start/stop all bots together.
This is not trivial (probably requires 1 day of work total) but I don’t see any other
option right now if we wish to continue to split the bot into 2.
Unless someone has a better idea, I’ll try to go for this in the coming days.
Thanks

You’re absolutely right… that’s an issue I had forgotten about :(
I’ve moved the bot to xwiki-notifications but by doing so I’ve also moved the log
archiving since it was done by that bot.
So this means some work to make this possible. I’ll need to look at the Bot code to see
what’s the simplest for this (either allow the ircbot app to connect to several channels
or allow the ircbot app to be installed in different spaces and run 2 bots). Ok I’ve implemented it today.
I’ve also updated http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Chat
Thanks

It seems that now, the history of the #xwiki IRC channel isn’t logged
anymore (see :
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/IRC/#|t=ircarchives&p=1&l=10&am…)Date&d=desc).
Thanks for raising this problem!
