I will give it another go once a gcj4.1 built SWT (from Eclipse) lands
in rawhide.  There have been many Classpath bug fixes over the past
year, so everybody cross your fingers.

Just FYI, I've packaged Azureus for rawhide with our Free stack.  Here's
a screenshot:

There are still bugs preventing it from working properly.  Hopefully I
can get some of the gcj and GNU Classpath hackers to help sort out the
remaining issues and we can push it into Extras sometime.

As well as the elegant hard work done by the Azureus project. I really 
think this is our bt client. We can default to beginner mode and even 
disable one of its most important features (UPnP) by default. Those 
people with routers will know they need to setup port forwarding and 
will be happy that UPnP is there to greet them. Secure by default, 
simple for the newcomer and advanced enough to "Just Work" for the power 
users. -mf

I don't think that's necessary.
If UPnP is a security risk then it should be disabled by the firewall to
not allow outgoing UPnP.

Disabling it in a userspace doesn't reall do any good because any
exploit that would take advantage of it could just simply enable it.

Those of us (myself included) who don't want it can disable it at the
firewall. Then it doesn't matter what the apps do.

I have a working Azureus now: http://people.redhat.com/green/FE/devel

This SRPM is only for the truly dedicated right now, as it requires a
last minute libgcj fix in order to run properly...
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2006-q1/msg00044.html

I don't know when Jakub plans on pulling a new GCC 4.1 snapshot, but the
fix will show up when that happens.

I will communicate to the list when we plan to do another gcc roll that
would necessitate rebuilding this.

No rebuilding required.  The libgcj library just needs a fix.

Thanks though..

Might be worth putting jakarta-common-cli into fedora or atleast your
download directory?

After 2 hours of patient gcc recompiling to include that patch, i
(not-java-voodoo-initiated) was faced with some google work to track
down this package :-)

ps rpmlint was upset about these:
E: azureus standard-dir-owned-by-package /usr/share/icons
E: azureus explicit-lib-dependency libswt3-gtk2
W: azureus no-documentation

Especialy the owning /usr/share/icons seems to be relevant to be looked
at?

This was in rawhide until only a few days ago.  I think somebody plans
on pushing it into Extras soon.  But for now I've put it in my download
directory.

I'm not really a spec file guru, and would appreciate patches.  I'm
looking at some other azureus problems right now.

Thanks!

libtorrent and rtorrent also seem to hit extras. its a pretty nice ncurses
frontend with advanced control possiblitys and pretty low cpu usage compared
to other torrent clients...

libtorrent is already on the repoview pages, so also in the repos. cant take
long until rtorrent appears there in my eyes.

Actually i maintain / added libtorrent and rtorrent extras packages.

devel, fc4, fc3 packages of libtorrent are already available as we
speak. However rtorrent is still waiting for the cvs-magic-wand-wielding
people to branch it so i can queue the builds for them. Will happen 'any
day now' though i'm sure :-)
