Hi, Although a new version of Deluge (1.3.13) has been recently uploaded to unstable, it's still pretty broken because of libtorrent-rasterbar 1.1.0: since the queue is not working right, downloading is fine, but no matter how many torrents you seed, only a few of them will actually be uploaded since the vast majority will stay in the queue forever.
Upstream libtorrent has released a last 1.0.x version - 1.0.10 - a couple of days after 1.1.0, and after testing it, I can certify that it works perfectly fine with Deluge 1.3.13. More precisely, one month ago, I fetched the git repository of the Debian packages, and created "libtorrent-rasterbar-legacy" packages on a separate branch, imported 1.0.10 on them, compiled, and uploaded to my personal repository; and I also created Deluge 1.3.13 packages depending on these "-legacy" versions. I'm pretty sure this would not be acceptable for a public upload to Debian, since although those "-legacy" packages can co-exist within the archive with the 1.1.0 ones, they're not co-installable - which means that people wouldn't be able to install qbittorrent/btfs and deluge at the same time - but since I lack practice with packaging shared libraries, perhaps there is a proper way (that I have yet to learn), to make those packages co-installable. Anyway, for now this is all on my hard drive (and personal repository), but if you're interested and want to use it as a start, I can make it available to you. The bottom line is that Stretch will most probably be frozen way before Deluge 2.x is available, and in the current state of things, Deluge will be broken in Stretch if libtorrent-rasterbar 1.1.x is the only version available in it. Please do something to avoid that, and in any case, I'd be glad to help. Regards, -- Raphaël Halimi
