Hi! Today I dreamed about using mktorrent and aria2 to improve the source-code distribution situation and be more prone to mirror downtimes. Dynamically generating a torrent bundle for each source-package could be another Make target or even part of the update target (i.e. generate the torrent file, set web-seed HTTP mirrors)... Maybe even patching magnet URLs into the package Makefiles :) Getting download.pl to probe for torrent files in the package directory or use magnet-URLs on use some text-mode torrent client should also not be too difficult, then preferably running single background process handling all downloads and seeding in parallel.
What are your preferences regarding the integration into the Makefile voodoo? I imagine it as an experimental feature, selectable in menuconfig, in my wildest dreams the torrent-client integration could even be modular and allow the user to choose the torrent-client implementation she likes. Ideas? Hints? Cheers Daniel _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
