[clinton/bobotpp.git] / README
1 THIS IS BOBOT++ VERSION 2.1 (this file is also -*- text -*-)
2
3 This is the unstable tree. 2.0 is what you want to use if you don't
4 want your scripts to break every other day. Then again, I'm not
5 updated this every day and so far the code is mostly backwards
6 compatible. The biggest change is that all bot-* functions are now
7 bot:*. A simple 'perl -pi -e s/bot-/bot:/g SCRIPT1 SCRIPT2 .. SCRIPTN'
8 should be enough to update your scripts. The bot-* functions are
9 defined as aliases for the bot:* functions in bobot-utils.scm, which
10 is autoloaded by bobot++.
11
12 The binary is now named bobotpp because of automake's choking on ++ in
13 rule names. In order for the bot to work properly, you must 'make
14 install' it so that bobot-utils.scm is installed and can be loaded for
15 scripts to use.
16
17 2.1 is not guaranteed to compile anywhere.
18
19 Please read the doc in the "doc" directory.
20 Also see bobot++.texinfo, which should be an ok set of docs on how to
21 configure and use Bobot++, even if it is horribly incomplete. You
22 should still read the old doc in the doc directory because it is more
23 complete.
24
25 bobotpp --help is also helpful.
