I have seen projects suggest IRC channels as a place to ask a question, because the people who hang out there tend to be knowledgable. I have *never* seen a project suggest searching IRC logs for answers, because IRC tends to ramble and finding a coherent answer is difficult at best. Nor is botbot an obvious Devuan resource. It is not mentioned anywhere on www.devuan.org, [1] so why would there be a reasonable expectation to even *think* to look there? jf [1] https://www.google.com/search?q=botbot+site%3Adevuan.org&oq=botbot+site%3Adevuan.org -- John Franklin frank...@tux.org _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
