[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#656250: konversation: Konversation does not auto-join channels when connecting to Hector IRC server

[Jesse Rhodes]

Package: konversation
Version: 1.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Hector can be found here: https://github.com/sstephenson/hector#readme

When Konversation starts, it automatically connects to the servers that I
have specified.
Most of them, including OFTC, auto-join channels when the connection is
finished.
My connection to a Hector server does not automatically join channels, but
manually joining
channels with /join does work.

One of the IRC features that Hector does away with is the connection MOTD.
I have a hunch that
Konversation is waiting for the MOTD before it will automatically join
channels. No evidence
to support this, though. I know one of the major Hector contributors and he
assures me that
the MOTD is not a required part of the protocol, it's just a convention. So
this would seem
to be a client issue.

Thanks
Jesse "sney" Rhodes
