-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-3166 2008-05-09 22:22:14 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : bittorrent Product : Fedora 8 Version : 4.4.0 Release : 6.fc8 URL : http://www.bittorrent.com/ Summary : BitTorrent swarming network file transfer tool Description : BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: This is a cumulative bugfix release, fixing the failure to save fastresume data properly when exiting (#245421), missing credits information (#237256), improved documentation on seed/tracker setup (#430849), and removal of some deprecated function warnings. A significant change in this update is that the default data directory for the seed/tracker services has moved from /srv/bittorrent to /var/lib/bittorrent. People using the btseed/bttrack services will need to either move their data to the new location or edit /etc/sysconfig/bittorrent to change the SEEDDIR and/or TRACKDIR variables back to /srv/bittorrent. This change has been made because Fedora policy is not to package anything under /srv and leave it to admins as to what to put there. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #237256 - Error in about dialog https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=237256 [ 2 ] Bug #430849 - bittorrent track/generate/seed fails, and documents do not help https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430849 [ 3 ] Bug #245421 - bittorrent fastresume does not work (because of python incompatibility?) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=245421 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
