[Erc-discuss] DCC module broken?

[Tyler Spivey]

Hello. I wanted to use the erc dcc module, but found the following
problems with it (I'm sure there are more, but these just came up in the
first few commands):

1. erc-pack-int can return a string of any length. according to
http://www.irchelp.org/irchelp/rfc/ctcpspec.html, it is
supposed to be packed into a 4 byte unsigned integer in network byte
order, if I'm reading it correctly.

2. erc-dcc-do-CLOSE-command uses the line variable, which seems to
include the entire command, which its regexp isn't able to handle.

3. I had to let inhibit-read-only be t in erc-dcc-append-contents in
order for get to work.

Am I doing things wrong, or is this module just broken and needs to be
fixed? I don't think I have the elisp knowledge to fix these issues in a
clean way, or I'd send a patch.

This is in emacs CVS as of 20080927.
