[needs packaging] libtorrent-rasterbar

[Miguel Ruiz]

Request for package: libtorrent-rasterbar

http://www.libtorrent.net/

C++ library that aims to be a good alternative to all the other bittorrent implementations around. It is a library and not a full featured client, although it comes with a working example client.

The main goals are:
    * to be cpu efficient
    * to be memory efficient
    * to be very easy to use

Dependency of qbittorrent (Bug #107930).

[Miguel Ruiz (mruiz)]

I'll work on it.

I found a version in Debian mentors:
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libtorrent-rasterbar/

I will wait for it and request a sync from Debian.

Greetings!

It looks like this is gutsy. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Good work,

[Miguel Ruiz (mruiz)]

The packages isn't available in Gutsy. I changed the bug status.

Greetings!

[Bryan Quigley (bryanquigley)]

Are there really two separate libraries with the same name? From the looks of it, there are.. Very confusing. Sorry for closing the bug to fast.

[Miguel Ruiz (mruiz)]

Don't worry about that!

They are different libraries. This bug is related to libtorrent-rasterbar and the other package is libtorrent10.

Cheers!

I want to increase my packaging skills before to package something new; then, I'm assigning it to Nobody.

Cheers!

A package I'm making (the lobby client for the game Spring) needs this, and it really should be a proper package, so I'm going to pick up work on this. Miguel, if you have a start to a package worth sharing I'd like to see it, otherwise I'll need to make a package from scratch.

Also, it would be nice if Deluge depended on this library rather than include it statically, which it currently does.

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

Actually, it looks like someone already has a package up for sponsorship in Debian, should be easy to sync it in once it's sponsored and committed. http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/l/libtorrent-rasterbar/

Hi,
is there any available packages of libtorrent-rasterbar for Hardy?

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

I'll put the Debian package in the Spring packages PPA for Hardy since it needs it.

[Miguel Ruiz (mruiz)]

I've contacted the packager of libtorrent-rasterbar in mentors.

We expect to have it into the Debian archive soon and request a sync :-)

Cheers!

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

Putting libtorrent-rasterbar into Hardy isn't going to happen at this point, it depends on a libboost package that Hardy doesn't ship.

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

This package is now available in Intrepid so I'm setting this bug's status to Fix Released.

Our users still would like to use the functionality libtorrent-rasterbar adds to our application on hardy. Intrepid is still over 2 months away.
