Description Jan ONDREJ 2020-05-17 15:14:36 UTC

Description of problem:
Epic is not working on Fedora 32.
First character from all messages is stripped.
Also my nick is stripped on screen, not on server.
Unable to send messages to channel, not sure why.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
epic-2.10.8-1.fc32.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. connect to any server
2. try to communicate

Actual results:
Also getaddrinfo(<UNKNOWN>): No address associated with hostname
Ack.  The server says your userhost is [<UNKNOWN>] and I can't figure out the
  IPv4 address of that host! You won't be able to use /SET
  DCC_USE_GATEWAY_ADDR ON with this server connection!this is displayed:
Adding DCC_USE_GATEWAY_ADDR doesn't help.

Additional info:
Trying to recompile epic5 on Fedora. This works, but should be compiled with -fPIC and -fcommon on gcc10. At least -fPIC is required, not sure if -fcommon too.

Is there any chance to use epic5 in Fedora 32?

Comment 1 Vitezslav Crhonek 2020-05-19 08:23:59 UTC

Reproduced, thank you for the bug report.

Add epic5 - I don't think so - the package has been retired on 2015-07-30, because no
one volunteered to maintain it. Initial package review is available here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=950824

Comment 2 Jan ONDREJ 2020-05-19 08:28:46 UTC

Thanks. Do we really need a different package for epic5?

Currently I am using epic5 compiled from source and works well with all my scripts.
Didn't seen any changes.
But if you can fix problems on epic4, then I will revert to it again.

Comment 3 Fedora Update System 2020-05-20 12:12:51 UTC

FEDORA-2020-d07633c43a has been submitted as an update to Fedora 32. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2020-d07633c43a

Comment 4 Vitezslav Crhonek 2020-05-20 12:21:00 UTC

It should work fine now, please try the update. It seems that changes made by upstream in 2.10.8
release broke the package. I reverted them by patch to avoid another increase of epoch.

If you think that Fedora users would benefit from epic5 availability, you can create COPR
repository with it - https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/

Comment 5 Jan ONDREJ 2020-05-20 12:30:52 UTC

Thanks for quick fix. Works well.
I am not interested to maintain or use epic5, if Fedora's package will work well.
