libtorrent 0.12.2-1 in experimental

Posted by on July 6, 2008 at 12:45 am.

Yey! libtorrent 0.12.2-1 is now uploaded to experimental (thanks bureado for the sponsoring! :D), soon I’ll get rtorrent 0.8.2-1 uploaded as well.

I’ve been using it since a while and has been working great!

In a few hours the buildd network should get them built for all arches, BTW, in this version is included the support for ARM-based machines :) Prepare your NSLU2!

    Can you please give more details about what’s new in this release regarding ARMs and especially NSLU2 (I didn’t find anything in ChangeLog regarding this)?

    AFAIK rtorrent already worked before on NSLU2.

    Hi martins,

    The exact change I made was to the rules and added these lines:
    7 architecture:=$(shell dpkg –print-architecture)
    9 ifeq ($(architecture),arm)
    10 CXXFLAGS = -O2 -mcpu=xscale -mtune=xscale
    11 endif

    This was added since 0.12.1-1, a version uploaded to experimental as well. You will not find anything in the ChangeLog because the debian changelog is written in lowercase ;-).

    Regards.

    Thanks for the info. It worked before because I added CXXFLAGS manually before building from source.
