"Sorry, James. But I cannot merge your changes."
That's ok. I wasn't expecting you to after you said you weren't planning
to merge your own branch before Precise. I think I was a bit ambitious
to hope this got into Precise.
"The alternative downloader has to be optional and provide a clear
advantage over the current situation."
Yes, it will be. It will support Apt, Aria2 and Deluge. If I can find
some decent documentation for Deluge's RPC.
"Furthermore you have to make the changes for the latest revision of
aptdaemon - that is where the development takes place."
I'll merge it.
"Your statement to no longer work on this doesn't make the situation
better."
Did I say that? Hmm. Maybe I came across like that. Sorry. I'm still
working on the Aria2/Deluge support. There are a few things I need to
fix.
"You have to coloberate with the other developers and not just dropping
some piece of code and hoping someone will pick it up automatically."
Well I did ask some questions a while back and nobody answered so I
started anyway. I'm not dropping the code.
BTW, I unassigned myself from Aptdaemon because you were already working on
your separation branch.
Use an alternative download manager isn't really a problem, it's a potential
solution to a couple of problems:
* 'Downloads should not lock apt'
* Bug #912402
** Summary changed:
- Use an alternative download manager (Aria2)
+ Downloads should not lock Apt
** Changed in: aptdaemon
Status: Opinion => Confirmed
