Purpose

Shortcomings

Notifications

• Gerrit only reports what a comment changed, not it’s status. Ready for submit notifications are difficult, because we usually only learn about a change of verified or code review.

  In case a reviewer changes both at the same time, a notification should be send though.

Code

• Does not implement proper tests, instead relies on API request in makefile
• There is some mixup with actix, tokio, async_std and reqwest which makes things confusing at times
• This is a hobby project, structure and quality doesnt necessary follow professional standards

User settings

User settings are saved in files. Each users has one settings file. Settings files are located in the data directory:

/data/{GerritUsername}/settings.ron

Every time Chtbtr encounters a new user, a default settings file is written.

Installation

1. Copy files to /opt/chtbtr
2. Create user chtbtr adduser --system --no-create-home chtbtr
3. Change ownership chown -R chtbtr: /opt/chtbtr
4. Install service definition cp chtbtr.service /etc/systemd/system/chtbtr.service
5. Start and check if it works systemctl start chtbtr.service systemctl status chtbtr.service
6. Enable by default systemctl enable chtbtr.service
