Transmission 1.91 version - OLD

[OldSkul]

What is reason that you dont update Transmission to newest version 2.04?

Mostly it's because the team of people packaging apps is small. If you can help package (which is not as hard as it seems), that would be great. Also, you can file a bug under apps and it will taken care of sooner or later.

We are working towards a more automated approach to app packaging, but it will be a while since it's ready too

I am not linux expert so i cant help.

Transmission is in fact version 1.93, not 1.91 (I fixed that typo in the app just now).

We do not package transmission ourselves. We merely install the RPM that comes from the Fedora 12 repository, and they only have 1.93 in there at this time.
My guess is that they won't update their fc12 repositories with new versions anymore, since F13 is now out.

I took the files Fedora used to package 1.93 (http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpm ... sion/F-12/), and tried using them to package 2.04 instead.

If you're on x86_64, you can install my RPMs like this (in a terminal, as root).
Execute this as one command (one big line):

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-cli-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-common-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-daemon-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-gtk-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-qt-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm

If you're on i386, you'll need to build the RPMs yourself:

Code: Select all

yum -y install rpmbuild openssl-devel glib2-devel gtk2-devel libnotify-devel libcanberra-devel libcurl-devel dbus-glib-devel libevent-devel desktop-file-utils gettext intltool GConf2-devel qt4-devel mkdir -p ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES cd ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-2.04.tar.gz tar zxf transmission-2.04.tar.gz && rm transmission-2.04.tar.gz rpmbuild -bb transmission.spec

Then install the just built RPMs:

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i386/transmission*2.04*.rpm

I executed your first big line (iam using 64bit version) and i got this:

error: Failed dependencies:
libQtCore.so.4()(64bit) is needed by transmission-qt-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64

Iam using 64bit version for sure: 2.6.32.16-150.fc12.x86_64 , x86_64

Thanks for help.

Just don't install the Qt RPM then, since you don't have the Qt libraries installed:

Code: Select all

rpm -Uvh http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-cli-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-common-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-daemon-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3022105/Amahi/transmission/transmission-gtk-2.04-1.fc12.x86_64.rpm

Sorry, do I install the old version through the web interface first and then the RPMs or do I have to uninstall the old version first?
