From: trentbuck <at> gmail.com (Trent W. Buck) To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: 24.0.91; rcirc autojoin broken (freenode/oftc) when rcirc-authenticate-before-join is set Date: Wed, 30 Nov 2011 11:50:08 +1100
When doing emacs -f irc or M-x irc, Emacs would connect to all three
servers, but not autojoin channels in Freenode with this setting:
(setq rcirc-server-alist
`(("irc.freenode.net" :channels ("##workingset"
"#collectd"
"#emacs"
"#lxcontainers"
"#netfilter"
"#paredit"
"#screen"
"#ubuntu-hardened"
"#ubuntu-server"))
("irc.oftc.net" :channels ("#debian-au"
"#debian-derivatives"
"#debian-eeepc"
"#debian-haskell"
"#debian-mentors"
"#debian-next"))
("irc.cyber.com.au" :channels ("#cyber"))))
I tried moving freenode to be the last of the three; the result was that
only #cyber was joined.
As a random guess, I tried (setq rcirc-authenticate-before-join nil) --
this fixed the problem.
I speculate there is an issue with this new feature when >1 server is in
the server alist. I could reproduce this behaviour reliably with a
dozen or so attempts under emacs-snapshot; I never had this behaviour
under 23 (which predates authenticate-before-join).
I also had this problem several months ago with the emacs-snapshot that
was current then; I didn't bother to investigate at the time -- it was
easier to just switch back to 23.
irc.cyber.com.au is an internal (private) office IRC server; running
ircd-irc2 2.11.2p1+dfsg-2 on Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid).
A complete (but slightly older) copy of my emacs configuration can be
found at http://cyber.com.au/~twb/.emacs and
http://cyber.com.au/~twb/.rcirc.el.
