Patch for disabling unload of static modules from UI none

Description Jaroslav Škarvada 2010-10-01 09:30:47 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #639258 +++

Description of problem:
In the latest irssi in RHEL6 i cannot reload any module after I unloaded it. When I restart irssi some modules ate auto-loaded. Unloading any module has no affect on my irssi perl scripts though (what is strange)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
irssi-0.8.15-3.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start irssi
2. check loaded modules
/load
Module               Type    Submodules
core                 static  core irc fe fe-irc fe-text
dcc                  static  irc fe-irc
flood                static  irc
notifylist           static  irc fe-irc
perl                 static  core fe
3. unload module (e.g. perl)
/unload perl
4. verify perl module is gone
/load
Module               Type    Submodules
core                 static  core irc fe fe-irc fe-text
dcc                  static  irc fe-irc
flood                static  irc
notifylist           static  irc fe-irc
5. try to load module back
/load perl
-!- Irssi: Error loading module perl/core: /usr/lib64/irssi/modules/libperl_core.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  
Actual results:
Can't load module

Expected results:
Module can be reloaded

Patch for disabling unload of static modules from UI

This is one of possible solutions. Other (probably better and of course harder) solution is adding support for static modules reloading.

Seems that static modules can not be unloaded thus the patch proposed in comment 1 should be enough.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 18:50:42 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

More information and reason for this action is here:

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2015-01-09 16:22:23 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will
be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2015-02-17 13:24:40 UTC
Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
