I updated the description with info from the latest version (0.1.4.4). Attached is the log from building it in a hardy pbuilder, which is error free (the package is all python, so I expect it would build properly on just about any version of ubuntu. :)
** Description changed: - Please sync debtorrent (1.4.1.1) from Debian unstable (main). - http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debtorrent/debtorrent_0.1.4.1.dsc + Please sync debtorrent (0.1.4.4) from Debian unstable (main). + http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debtorrent/debtorrent_0.1.4.4.dsc This package is new in Debian and not in Ubuntu. - Here is the most recent changelog. + Here is a sample from some of the most recent changelog entries. - debtorrent (0.1.4.1) unstable; urgency=low - - * Fix the copyright file for addition to debian archive (Closes: #428005) - * Fix a minor tracker bug in NAT checking - - -- Cameron Dale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 24 Aug 2007 14:13:00 -0700 + * add a new option to bind just the apt listener (Closes: #446959) + * Add logrotate file (Closes: #440510, #446297) + * Word wrap some documentation at 80 columns (Closes: #445676) + * Add Dm-Upload-Allowed header for Debian Maintainer uploads I would like to see DebTorrent packaged for Ubuntu Gutsty (or +1). It would allow us to *eventually* increase the scalability of Ubuntu, possible uses include for downloading large games. "To expand on the BitTorrent protocol and application to work effectively with large, constantly updating collections of files, and therefore enable the efficient peer-to-peer downloading of Debian packages from an APT repository. Features * Downloads from peers, increasing the available bandwidth to the user * Reduces the bandwidth requirements needed to setup a repository of packages * Seamlessly integrates with the current APT tool * Automatically falls back to downloading from an HTTP mirror when peers are not available This software is open-source and is released at no charge under the terms of the MIT license." http://debtorrent.alioth.debian.org/ http://wiki.debian.org/DebTorrent This bug report was originally for apt-torrent but DebTorrent has a better solution, I think. Plus it is in active development in Debian. ** Attachment added: "Buildlog of debtorrent 0.1.4.4 on hardy" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10166872/debtorrent-0.1.4.4.buildlog -- [sync request] Please sync debtorrent from Debian unstable (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
