Source: rtorrent
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

A few months ago, after I did some triaging on rtorrent's bugs, Rogério
asked if I was interested in helping out with the package's maintenance.
I said yes, but after that nothing really happened (I think a few mails
were lost between him and me, and I haven't insisted since). But at the
time, I took a shot at packaging what was then the unstable version of
rtorrent, and put the result on gitorious [1,2] (in a debian/0.9.0
branch for rtorrent, and a debian/0.13.0 branch for libtorrent).

[1] git://gitorious.org/debian-pkg/rtorrent.git
[2] git://gitorious.org/debian-pkg/libtorrent.git

Now that 0.9.2/0.13.2 is out and considered stable upstream, I've
packaged it for unstable (essentially just imported the new upstream
version on top of my 0.9.0/0.13.0 package) and put it on gitorious as
well (branches debian/0.9.2 and debian/0.13.2).

It compiles and runs fine on amd64 at least, and fixes the following
bugs:

  * http://bugs.debian.org/667361
    ftbfs with GCC-4.7
    (apparently fixed upstream, no patch was required)
  * http://bugs.debian.org/649959
    log.execute option doesn't work
    (fixed in 0.9.0 already)
  * http://bugs.debian.org/671582
    Please enable hardening build flags
    (fixed by using debhelper compat 9)

I'd be glad if someone could take a look and perhaps merge it on alioth
and upload it. If everything's fine, please consider adding me as an
uploader (I'm not a DM, so I'd still need someone to sponsor my uploads)
and let me join collab-maint [3] (I need a DM or DD to send an email to
n...@debian.org; my username is bknecht-guest).

Thanks in advance.
