subversion repository tracking bot

about

Vcbot is python written repository tracking software. It scans repos for new revisions and send notifications via XMPP to defined list of users. Bot is able to follow many projects on many servers, and needs only read acces to repository to track revisions.

For now VCbot supports only svn repository.

advantages

• Can track many servers and many project at the same time
• Need only read acces to repository
• Don't have to checkout project to track it
• Ability to customize who shoud recive notifications about each project
• Don't need any jabber client to run

configuration

VCbot uses json style configuration file, which must follow all json rules. Almost every aspect of bot is configurable. You can configure an xmpp user which bot will use to send notifications, connection type for each server and username and password to use to scan each project.
