Here are the usages for the 2 packages in Debian (testing and unstable): btmakemetafile.bittorrent file trackerurl [params] btmakemetafile.bittornado <trackerurl> <file> [file...] [params...] However, the version of bittorrent in Debian (3.4.2-6) is sadly out of date (due to licensing issues) with the upstream. I just took a look at the source for the upstream bittorrent version 4.4.0 and it has the following usage: maketorrent-console [OPTION] TRACKER_URL FILE [FILE] So the btmakemetafile in bittornado was changed to keep it in line with the latest upstream version of bittorrent (ignoring the rename of the executable). The file parameter was moved after the tracker URL to allow for multiple files to be specified on the command line. Thus it is the bittorrent package in Debian which is not complying with the "official" standard. -- Cameron Dale [EMAIL PROTECTED]
