Shouldn't it be included in the transmission-cli package instead? I guess it could be included in transmission-cli. I thought transmission-remote-cli would be better suited to its own package because it a third-party transmission tool, and not part of the transmission project itself [1]. This would also transmission-remote-cli to be updated independently of the entire transmission package.

Also it should be obvious from the description what benefits it brings over plain transmission-remote, especially if it ends up in a separate package.

I thought transmission-remote-cli would be better suited to its own package because it a third-party transmission tool, and not part of the transmission project itself [1]. I agree it's probably better to have its own package. I also have an ITP for transmission-remote-gtk, which is in a similar situation. That being said: I haven't checked the source, but I'm a bit curious about its use of transmission-remote. Does it depend on specific input/output formats? Did upstream at some point declare a stable API for using transmission-remote in scripts? I'm just worried this might be a small nightmare to maintain in the long run...

I've been talking to upstream (t-r-cli) and the output appears to be stable between RPC versions. RPC versions don't seem to change that often in transmission, so I don't think it should be too big a deal. When it does change, support for the new RPC is added reasonably quickly. I guess an alternative would be to use transmissionrpc as a python interface to the JSON service. Jon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
