Configuration

Installation

mod_jabber is included in Gentoo, so installing it is as easy as emerge portage-mod_jabber.

Enabling

To enable mod_jabber, edit /etc/make.conf to the list of activated ELOG systems:

PORTAGE_ELOG_SYSTEM="... jabber"

However, to make it work, two other configuration variables must be set: The directive PORTAGE_ELOG_JABBERFROM must contain the sender of the Jabber message in the classical URI format. For backwards compatibility a more obscure format is allowed too: <user>@<host>/<resource>:<password.

PORTAGE_ELOG_JABBERFROM="<user>:<password>@<host>/<resource>"

The other variable, PORTAGE_ELOG_JABBERTO, must contain a list of recipients separated by whitespaces.

PORTAGE_ELOG_JABBERTO="recipient@jabberhost.com"
