Description John Schmitt 2011-09-30 18:15:10 UTC

(This bug should be against finch, but there doesn't seem to be a component for it)

Description of problem:
finch will not stay connected to freenode

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run finch and authenticate to freenode rooms
2. wait a few seconds
  
More Info:
I see a lot of these messages like this from NickServ:

NickServ: (notice) This nickname is registered. Please choose a different nickname, or identify via /msg NickServ identify <password>.

NickServ: (notice) You are now identified for myhandle.

And then, after a few of those, I'll see this message in my IRC chatroom:

The account has disconnected and you are no longer in this chat. You will be automatically rejoined in the chat when the account reconnects.

Then, even when the message from NickServ repeats, I am not reconnected to my chat rooms.

$ rpm -qa | grep -i finch
finch-2.10.0-1.fc15.x86_64
$ rpm -qa | grep -i purple
libpurple-2.10.0-1.fc15.x86_64

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 18:41:41 UTC

This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

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

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached 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 to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here:
