goirc/fix

client api changes

goirc.go is a fix compatible with go tool fix that attempts to programaticallly change old client code to work with the newer, shinier API. It might even work, depending on the complexity of your code. You'll need to have a Go source tree in the path specified by GOROOT. GOOS and GOARCH may not be set in your environment; use your head.

To install:

cd $GOROOT/src/cmd/fix
ln -s $GOPATH/src/github.com/fluffle/goirc/fix/goirc.go
go build
mv fix $GOROOT/pkg/tool/$GOOS_$GOARCH

To fix:

go tool fix -r goirc -diff /path/to/code
<check diffs>
go tool fix -r goirc /path/to/code

Things that aren't fixed by this

This fix doesn't take care of some bad design decisions I made:

• conn.State is left as-is. If you're using this you'll need to rewrite things to get scope into your handlers in a different fashion.
• conn.ER and conn.ED are left as-is. These should be completely removed (and probably shouldn't have been left accessible in the first place).

It's also quite likely that this won't produce the nicest "fixed" code. In particular, if you're seeing lots of lines like conn.Config().XXX = "foo", you probably want to consider creating a Config struct and then passing it to client.Client().
