#
# Test hook to launch an irker instance (if it doesn't already exist)
# just before shipping the notification. We start it in in another terminal
# so you can watch the debug messages. Probably only of interest only to
# developers
#
# To use it, set up irkerhook.py to file on each commit.
# Then set the filtercmd variable in your repo config as follows:
# 
# [irker]
# 	filtercmd = filter-test.py
#
# This is rather antisocial - imagine thousands of irkerds holding open
# connections to IRCDs.  It's better to go through an instance running
# at your forge or set up for shared use by your intranet administrator.
