[needs-packaging] dcsharp

[Roman Polach]

UPDATE:
Package is in http://revu.ubuntuwire.com/p/dcsharp

Original description:
Request for package: dcsharp

http://code.google.com/p/dcsharp/

DC# is a file sharing client for the Direct Connect protocol, which allows you to connect to hubs to chat and share files. It supports the basic features expected from a Direct Connect client:

    * Hub chat and private messages
    * File search and transfer

Additional features are:

    * Segmented downloading
    * The integrity of downloaded files are verified
    * Downloads can be started and stopped/paused
    * Notification when a download is complete

page http://mono.dcsharp.com/ seems to be no longer publicly accessible...

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

but there is https://launchpad.net/dcsharp for it

The website has been unresponsive for weeks now.

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

although home page is still broken, the project seems to be alive
and it releases new version 0.10.0 (2007-05-11):

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dc-sharp/
http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/DC%2523

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

http://code.google.com/p/dcsharp/ seems to be new home for DC# project

[Roman Polach (rpolach)]

New version 0.11.0 released: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php/DC%2523
This version has implemented Segmented downloading. It would be very nice
to have this package in Ubuntu!

I'm pretty close-but I can't seem to get pbuilder to work

Josh, Is this still being worked on?

Quoting the README file
"Required but included:
 * ndesk-dbus (http://www.ndesk.org/DBusSharp)
 * notify-sharp (http://www.ndesk.org/NotifySharp)

ndesk-dbus and notify-sharp are for now included to make this program easier to
build. Both are licenced under the MIT X11 license."

This requires two more packages to be built

If anyone wants to do this, use this patch from Archlinux AUR:

What is the version of core dclib in 0.11.1? A hub on my lan only allows dc++ 0.698 or higher and dc# 0.11.1 can't connect.

You should file a bug upstream:
http://code.google.com/p/dcsharp/issues/entry

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

I don't know if this helps, but:

http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#_fVXoTwCG4c/trunk/base/Backend/Connections/HubConnection.cs&q=nmdc%20package:http://dcsharp\.googlecode\.com&l=80

"/// The only implemented protocol is Nmdc. Support for Adc is on its way."

[Savvas Radevic (medigeek)]

A reply from the developer of dcsharp:
"No, dcsharp is no longer active. I could however make a new release with the patches applied, if that would make it easier for you."

I will set this as "Incomplete" and archive the revu package.
Please don't change the status unless you find someone interested to continue developing dcsharp upstream: http://code.google.com/p/dcsharp/

Won't fix for getdeb for the same reason.
