Created attachment 14802 [details] Newer ebuild that adds another patch to fix a username bug This ebuild includes a patch to fix a bug with how X-Chat handles usernames; usernames prefixed with an @ or + or % in /names weren't treated as usernames, and so clicking on them wouldn't pop up the username menu as it would on users with out any status in the channel. Some scripts prefix usernames with their status in general conversation, thus making the menu practically useless from outside the userlist box...
i'm not too eager to include patches not (going to be) supported by the package maintainers. Is there an xchat bug about this and is it in line to be included ? What about the username bug ? Please explain why it is needed, what it fixes and we would want to add it. Also attach small patches, so we can add them to the filesdir if needed. Getting them from some unreliable userdir is not a good idea.
YEs, X-Chat bugs 774937 and 774958 (one for each patch)... what x-chat's maintainers decide to do with them I have no idea (they were submitted the same night as this ebuild and probably haven't even been looked at carefully yet (if at all)). The username bug patches X-Chat so that it recognizes usernames properly with status. For example, if you /names #channel then it will print a list of all the usernames... usernames prefixed with a status symbol (@, +, or %) were not treated as usernames- right clicking on them pulled up the main X-Chat menu, where as the username with out a status symbol pulled up the nickname popup menu. Some people also use a script that prefixes the usernames with their status symbol in the general chat area as well, and thus right clicking on those names anywhere except the userlist on the right is useless.
Created attachment 14917 [details, diff] Numerics patch against X-Chat 2.0.3-r1 Here is the first patch requested...
Created attachment 14918 [details, diff] Nickname behavior patch against X-Chat 2.0.3-r1 The other patch for the nickname inconsistancy treatment bug
well, 2.0.4 soon to enter portage fixes one of these patches. The other one (the nick stuff), doesn't apply cleanly for me. Can you have a look at that ? I havent looked at the code, but is it safe here to do word+1 (say you have 1 letter nicks) ?
reporter please respond
Sorry, I just got back from being out of town. The numerics patch does not apply cleanly against 2.0.4 as it is included in 2.0.4 by X-Chat's maintainers.
the numerics patch i know and thats the one i mean in #8, it's about the other patch.
After digging though some code, the nickname fix patch has also been applied to the 2.0.4 source tree.
ok, it wasn't in the ChangeLog and i didn't check the code. Thanks for your help, hope to apply things faster next time.
