Subject: 23.1; ERC reconnection -vs- /disconnect
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 12:09:20 -0600

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:


One irc server I use went down and was unavailable.
ERC kept trying to reconnect to it -- which is nice, ordinarily I want
this.
However, in this case, I wanted to prevent ERC from trying to reconnect.

So, I went to the server buffer and typed /disconnect.
This did not work, instead ERC gave me an error message
(which I no longer have but the gist was that there was no connection).

I think /disconnect should work to prevent reconnection in this
situation.
Instead, the only solution I found was to kill the server buffer.


If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Hi Michael,

Could you take a look at this bug report?  Thanks.

(There are a few more bug reports for ERC in the bug tracker; if you
have the time, could you please take a look at them too?  Thanks.)

Forwarding to Giorgos, who will be taking over as ERC maintainer
shortly.   Can you pass on the details of how to access ERC-related
bugs in the Emacs bugtracker?

Thanks!  I see that trimming the 'unstable' bit from the URL reports
more bugs:

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/pkgreport.cgi?which=pkg&data=erc&archive=no

I bookmarked both URIs and will have a look at the open bugs.

My experience with `emacsbugs.donarmstrong.com' is very limited, so if
we also have some sort of HOWTO or mini-guide for the tracker, please
point it me to that and I will read it to get acquainted with how bugs
are handled.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Tags: patch

Note: There is no "/disconnect" command, but:
      "/quit",  "/exit" and "/bye" should all work.

You should also note that the reconnect loop isn't actually supposed
to be infinite, the default config _should_ stop after two tries, but
that is addressed in a separate patch in bug #4048

In any case, regardless of the number of attempts configured, issuing
an explicit quit with this patch applied should put a stop to further
[automatic] attempts.

Thanks for the patch; it's applied to the Emacs trunk now.
