Subject: bug#20541: ERC password fetching using Secret Service API is broken
Date: Sun, 10 May 2015 16:13:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87d228lduj.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

When trying to store ERC passwords using Secret Service API (i.e. when
using GNOME Keyring), ERC breaks when trying to join a channel.

Steps to reproduce:

⒈ Run emacs -Q.
⒉ Eval (require 'auth-source).
⒊ Eval (setq auth-sources '("secrets:FOO")), where FOO is an existing
keyring name.
⒋ Open ERC.
⒌ Try to connect to Freenode using the default settings.

What happens:
The following error is displayed:
auth-source-secrets-listify-pattern: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 6667

What should happen:
I should connect to Freenode.

One possible patch is attached below. This is the simplest solution; I
have not thought much about whether it may be more desirable to convert
numbers to strings inside the secrets.el package.

Subject: [PATCH] * lisp/erc/erc.el (erc-open): Fix password fetching

ERC used to pass the port number as a number, however when using
Secret Service API, only strings can be used.
