<div dir="ltr">Recently, while trying to do some hosting stuff. We started getting errors when the ircbot tries to setup hooks for email and irc for commits. The GitHub Services that were being used for this are being deprecated [1]. This means that we can't install services on new repos in the jenkinsci organization. These hooks are used to send emails to IRC on #jenkins-commits and the jenkins-commits mailing list. One question is are these two things needed/desired? If not, we can remove the hook setup completely from the bot. If they are needed/desired, then we need to look at implementing one or more GitHub Apps [2] to handle the notifications for these two endpoints. Let me know what you think.<div><br></div><div>Alex</div><div><br></div><div>1 - <a href="https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/replacing-github-services/">https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/replacing-github-services/</a></div><div>2 - <a href="https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/replacing-github-services/#replacing-services-with-webhooks">https://developer.github.com/v3/guides/replacing-github-services/#replacing-services-with-webhooks</a></div><div><br></div></div>
