I'm trying to configure bitlbee-discord in order to write on Discord using ERC in Emacs. Unfortunately, every time I open connection to Discord, this error is thrown:
discord - Login error: Failed to switch to websocket mode Actually, it is a well-known issue caused by breaking changes in the new version of glib (2.70.X): https://github.com/sm00th/bitlbee-discord/issues/226 A fix is introduced with commit 607f9887ca85f246e970778e3d40aa5c346365a7: https://github.com/sm00th/bitlbee-discord/commit/607f9887ca85f246e970778e3d40aa5c346365a7 However, the commit is far newer than the 0.4.3 tag, thus bitlbee-discord@0.4.3 is unusable with glib@2.70.2. I see three solutions. * The first solution --- upgrade bitlbee-discord This solution involves upgrading bitlbee-discord to the specified commit. I don't think it will make the package more unstable, especially after this post: https://github.com/sm00th/bitlbee-discord/issues/118#issuecomment-606856620 However, it would be good to stick to convention and only introduce "stable" release versions. * The second solution --- requesting a new release That said, I think it would be a good idea to request a new release from the author, particularly as glib@2.70.X is becoming more common. However, there is no certainty that the new release would be stable, though. * The third solution --- patching current release Last but not least, what about writing a patch for the current release? The mentioned commit does not seem complicated. I think it is the best solution, because it gives us more control while preserving the stability of the release. However, it is always extra work. Which solution do you think is the best?
