portage-mod_jabber is a small elog module for Gentoo’s portage which provides Jabber notification for portage. It basically allows to receive notifications via jabber when elog events occur. A few days ago #204125 was opened in the Gentoo bugtracker, which is obviously the wrong place to request features for software which is provided externally. But anyway, I took the idea of allowing the user to specify which Jabber resource to use and added the feature. Another facility in this context which might be helpful is to use hostname as a variable for the current hostname in the resource. So if you deploy a number of systems you can just specifiy “/systems/%hostname%” as the resource and the hostname will be replaced automatically. If you want to use this feature just edit /etc/make.conf and change PORTAGE_ELOG_JABBERFROM to something like user@host.com/resource:password. From now on, the version 0.0.3 is available here.
Hanno, would you mind bumping it?

btw, your comment-form layout is rreally broken in konqueror…

published on January 3rd 2008, 08:18:06 pmThe URI scheme is currently pretty easy to handle as I just split on the ":"-character and afterward use the rest as a decent Jabber ID. But I will think about it. The problem is, that I would need to maintain backwards compatibility which will be hard.
I try to fix the konqueror issue, thanks for the hint. Intersting, that Epiphany with Webkit renders the page fine, except the check boxes. Luckily konqueror will switch to webkit too.

published on January 8th 2008, 07:30:07 amI’ve checked in the basic tools to support both schemes. I think I’m going to release a 0.0.5 which will support both schemes.
