Bitchbot is a GPL'ed perl-based IRC bot coded mainly for #gloom on

features, to name a few:

(using qstat, www.qstat.org)
* Message system for leaving short notes for people who are offline.
* Configurable access list to allow users to manipulate certain features.
* Channel operator commands
(limited use; bitchbot wasn't designed to be a chanbot)
* Last seen nickname to find out when a user was last on the channel.
* Vote and poll on user defined topics.
* Channel statistics (if your server can handle the horrible memory leaks)
* Support for the cyborgizer and techifier toys from www.brunching.com.
* A ton of other stuff you'll find from looking at the command reference.

the RCD_SCRIPTS rc.d script(s) to the PLIST.
This GENERATE_PLIST idea is part of Greg A. Woods'
PR #22954.
This helps when the RC_SCRIPTS are installed to
a different ${RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR}. (Later,
the default RCD_SCRIPTS_EXAMPLEDIR will be changed
to be more clear that they are the examples.)
These patches also remove the etc/rc.d/ scripts from PLISTs
(of packages that use RCD_SCRIPTS). (This also removes
now unused references from openssh* makefiles. Note that
qmail package has not been changed yet.)
I have been doing automatic PLIST registration for RC_SCRIPTS
for over a year. Not all of these packages have been tested,
but many have been tested and used.
Somethings maybe to do:
- a few packages still manually install the rc.d scripts to
hard-coded etc/rc.d. These need to be fixed.
- maybe remove from mk/${OPSYS}.pkg.dist mtree specifications too.
