It's time to update Deluge

Post by caitlyn »

Deluge 1.3.1, the version in the SalixOS repositories, has some significant bugs, particularly in the way it handled trackers. I respectfully suggest that a bugfix update to 1.3.3 should be included in the repos.

FWIW, I took the Slackbuilds.org script and modified it to build a package for myself, but I don't believe Slackbuild.org scripts are quite up to SalixOS standards so I haven't contributed it. I then had to add it to my exclude list so that slapt-notifier, slapt-get and gslapt don't think the older package is an "upgrade". You'd think they'd recognize the higher version number but they don't.

I just saw this now. I'll download, try it out for a couple of days, and let you know. Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I do appreciate your work on this.

I've also noticed some strange tracker behaviour after switching to Deluge (1.3.1) but I did not investigate this further. So now I've updated to 1.3.3, too. Also deluge-web depends on MarkupSafe, so this should be added to our repo anyway.

The new packages work well for me. I'd say they're ready for prime time :D

I did not have any problems, too. And it seems to work better with multitracker torrents. At least I think I have more upload of our Salix torrents :)

Great! Does that mean the new packages are going into the repository?

Finally after more testing: yes ;)
