This is an IRC bot, which is designed to execute Raku commands from IRC, and echo the output on IRC again. Currently it runs as nick "camelia" on freenode, in #raku and other channels.

Might also work for other languages :-)

To add a new execution target, conduct the following steps:

• build it on the server
• write a script that updates the repo and rebuilds. Store it in the evalbot repo under build-scripts/rebuild-.sh or .pl
• add a cron job for regular rebuilding (crontab -e)
• add the target to %impls in evalbot.pl
• push everything
• pull on the server
• restart evalbot
• PROFIT

The Rakudo Star releases aren't automatically built. To update to a new release, conduct the following steps:

• log in as the user that runs the evalbot

• download the rakudo-star-YYYY.MM.tar.gz tarball

• unpack, build install:

  tar xzf rakudo-star-YYYY.MM.tar.gz cd rakudo-star-YYYY-MM perl Configure.pl --backends=all --gen-moar && make && make install echo YYYY.MM > install/version cd ..

• symlink to star:

  rm star; ln -s rakudo-star-YYYY.MM/install
