The current einfo for eggdrop says: einfo "NOTE: IPV6 support has been dropped by upstream maintainers." einfo "Please run /usr/bin/eggdrop-installer to install your eggdrop bot." and running that says: $ /usr/bin/eggdrop-installer foo Installing Eggdrop * Creating directories for your foo ... * Creating symlinks to required files for your bot to run .... * Copying motd and banner ... * Finished... * Please edit your /home/stroller/.eggdrop/foo/eggdrop.conf * If you need any help pleaese refer to the man page, or * eggdrop website at http://www.egghelper.org I refer you to this thread, which illustrates the problems I had - <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.user/97315> Basically, as far as I can see, the user is not told anywhere that eggdrop must be run from its own directory. I have checked the eggdrop FAQ, README & website. How about adding a line to the output off eggdrop installer, thusly: * Please edit your /home/stroller/.eggdrop/foo/eggdrop.conf * and run `cd /home/stroller/.eggdrop/foo/ && ./eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf ??? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge eggdrop 2. run eggdrop-installer 3. run `/home/me/.eggdrop/foo/eggdrop -m /home/me/.eggdrop/foo/eggdrop.conf` from the wrong directory Actual Results: eggdrop failed to start, messily Expected Results: eggdrop should have run & allowed me to telnet in
OK, I added documentation to eggdrop-installer about how to create the user file and how to start the bot correctly.
