Bug#642538: debian's build script for Transmission should invoke qmake /after/ building libtransmission

2011-09-25 Thread Charles Kerr
Would you also accept a patch to the build system, so that it doesn't check for the existence of the libutp.a file to decide whether to link against it (instead looking for something generated during the configure phase, like a Makefile)? Probably so, if the patch was straightforward.

Bug#565199: Leaks daemon password into the environment

2010-04-16 Thread Charles Kerr
Ideally Transmission should read the password from a textfile to which a --passwordfile argument points to. That would be the -g command-line argument to specify where settings.json is to be found. You can keep your password in there instead of on the command line. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE,

Bug#573225: Transmission no more preallocates files on disk

I'm wondering if somehow your setting.json file's preallocation setting was changed -- I think Transmission's preallocation works just as it did before, although our first attempt for preallocation is fallocate64() now, and then we fall back to the other methods we already had in 1.8x. -- To

Bug#555629: transmission-cli: cannot load a torrent file

2010-04-16 Thread Charles Kerr
What's happening in that .torrent is that its piece size is 128 bytes. While this is technically allowed by the loosely-written BitTorrent specification, it's *extremely* uncommon, and bad practice, for a piece size to not be cleanly divisible by a larger power of 2 such as 16 KiB or 8 KiB.
