Hi, First off, sorry about the severity screw up. My bad. :) Secondly thanks for the quick responds; since you are still interested in maintaining this package, I guess this bug can be closed now. :) > I'm still attempting to maintain this package.

I tried downloading the "BitTorrent Mainline v5" from the link you listed above (just to have a look), but it gives me a 404. > Currently with the state of this project, it's hard to justify > spending some time fixing bugs that are fixed in upstream.

On a related note, could I ask you to include a fix for #645618? bittorrent is one of the few packages blocking the removal of the old wxwidgets2.6. If I understand Olly Betts correctly, it should be a simple matter of bumping the dependency. I also checked the Ubuntu diff and the changelog there mentions a couple of "needs-to-goto-debian" (see [1]). I filtered out there entries that appears already to be in the Debian bug tracker (#466274 and #550229) ~Niels [1] http://patches.ubuntu.com/b/bittorrent/bittorrent_3.4.2-11.3ubuntu1.patch - btmakemetafile.py: Set piece_len_exp to 18 if no exp defined (needs-to-goto-debian) [...] - Build using python-central to get support for all python version. - Check version of wxPython and catch failure. (needs-to-goto-debian) - Revert the change that used wxversion to select the python-wxgtk version to use. (LP: 66795) (needs-to-goto-debian) - patches/01_btshow-meta-info patch: (needs-to-goto-debian) + now bittorrent checks file type before trying to extract any information. (LP: 108101) - patches/02_fix-readme-file.dpatch: (needs-to-goto-debian) - Remove instructions which only concern Windows systems. - Remove references to files which aren't in the package, and adjust executable names (./whatever.py -> whatever). - Fix two example commands which had incorrect arguments, thanks to Paul Schulz (LP: 144061). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
