(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Sorry for the delay but I was for long time away from home and I returned today. I'll compile the latest version tomorrow or at least the day after tomorrow, and together I'll post how I compile it and all the steps in order to make the pets I post.


So check again tomorrow.

* DHT now honors the bind-address-ipv4 configuration option
* Fix Debian build error with miniupnpc
* Fix Cygwin build error with strtold
* Update to a newer snapshot of miniupnpc

==== GTK+ ====
* Fix crash that occurred when adding torrents on some desktops
* Synchronize the statusbar's and torrent list's speeds
* Fix the Properties dialog's "Origin" field for multiple torrents

Thanks for the .PET

Hey, michalis, thanks for updating it, any chance you could post your pet methodology so we'll be sure to be able to update it in your absense?

=== Transmission 1.75 (2009/09/13) ===

* Fix startup error if another copy of the Transmission GTK client is running
* Fix clang build issue

If i have an older version (0.76) with file that are downloading how can I merge to the new version without losing the part of file that are already dowloaded?

The files, statistics and everything concerning downloads are independent from the executable which is the pet. So you won't lose anything.

The only thing that bothers me is that you are talking for version 0.76. It's a very old version and I remember that there was a change in transmission around version 0.8 where they had given instruction to backup the files first. Unfortunately can't find anything in they're website now. Just in case to be sure copy the folder "/root/.config/transmission/" somewhere and in case you have problem copy it back. Maybe take also a backup of the executable which is in "/usr/bin/" named transmission.

I have tried and Trasmission does not recognise that I have downloaded some file and restarted to download it! How can I do that file are recognized by the newer version?

According to transmission site, at the end of this page they say that old versions were storing the files at the folder /root/.transmission/ whether versions greater than 1.04 which are XDG compliant store those files at the folder /root/.config/transmission/. Are you sure the files are in the later folder?

In transmission also you can add the torrent file, locate as the save folder the one where the file is already download and ask it to check the integrity of the already downloaded pieces.

But I'm telling you again that I remember a major change in a version pre 0.8 or around it. I think they had changed something in the way the program was working, so downloads in progress of older versions weren't recognized and thus they were telling to finish the downloads before upgrading. I can't find something in the site now, but you can ask here.

Thanks Michalis! I love Transmission, and having the most recent for Puppy is fantastic. I'm using it for more than 24 hours and it is rock solid.
Keep up the good work, Puppy could use some more pet maintainers as you

The first transmission-1.75-i486.pet is the full program without the locales.

The second transmission-1.75-i486-small.pet is a cut-down version with only the basic program.

The third transmission_NLS-1.75-i486.pet is the package with all the locales (translations).

BIIIG thankyou for that!

One of my main reasons learning to know an work with puppy was to get a cheap, quiet, economic NAT-, p2p-, web- & ftp-server on an old Compaq SFF (small form factor) with pIII 500 MHz cpu and 400 MB RAM, bought for about 10 $ @ ebay.

And befor finding YOUR 1.75 pet, coming from utorrent/widows doing torrent @ puppy got more and more traumatic

Sstill being a linux newbie I'm depending on guys like you making pets like this...

plz keep on!

THX again

@T_B & @brin Thank you very much for your words those are some great feedbacks that makes me definitely to continue packaging transmission

Again, Thanks a lot, Michalis!

puppy 4.30 & TM 1.75 worked good, but performing other tasks in parallel got my system rather unstable.
'hope, 4.31 with 1.76 is performing even better!

plz keep on helping us newbies!

THX, brin

Thank you also brin

If you ever have any problems with transmission post the problem here or pm me in order to try to figure out the solution. I hope 1.76 indeed performs better.

Doesn't work for me in 4.1.2. I get the following error.
Someone else had the same problem, but I didn't see a solution in the thread.

EDIT: If it helps, installing libidn.so.11 fixed a problem with version 1.22, so I do have that one now.

It looks like a GLIB problem. If the older puppies use a version of GLIB that is older than the version that Transmission was compiled with then this sort of thing happens.

I could post a copy of the updated GLIB I use, but this might break other things on peoples systems. It shouldn't, but it might. Updating GLIB often requires updating GTK and PANGO as well. This wasn't an issue for me, but it does mean that any further compiles that are attempted on an GLIB updated machine may not work on a clean install/Live CD.

*placeholder*

The latest build of Transmission doesn't work in any version of Puppy older than 4.3

I get the same $#@%^* error in Puppy 4.21 and Turbopup: And that's not all - Transmission is now extra bloated if you're using Puppy 4.21 or older:
Now it requires an additional dependency (libgio-2.0.so.0) that's almost the same size as the Transmission binary

Michalis,did you compile this build in Puppy 4.3 or later?
If that's the case, could you do another compile of Transmission 1.76 in Puppy 4.2 (to produce a package with less dependencies that's compatible with the older Puppies as well)?

Do you still keep an archive of your old Transmission packages? I need the last working builds (v1.72, v1.74 and v1.75).

Does anyone have a copy of the previous release (v1.75)?

(the last one i've tried in Puppy 4.21 was v1.72 and it worked great)
