At this stage I'm about ready to move it to non-free, as it is almost laughable how old the bittorrent client in debian is right now. I have pinged the developers multiple times since their latest license revision and got no response at all, unfortunately. I attempt to fix bugs myself but some of them are just a bit hard to crack.
I'll probably give it a month or two (busy time for me atm) and then initiate a new package bittorrent-5 (or bittorrent-nonfree) in non-free that is derived from the newest branch. The BitTorrent Open Source License v1.1 [1] is at least free enough to go into non-free according to my last thread on debian-devel [2]. 1. http://www.bittorrent.com/license 2. http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2005/10/msg00042.html -- Michael Janssen --- Jamuraa --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 2/12/07, Andrew Ash <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
