Hi guys, I don't know if this is a bug or not, but I think adding this row to the default config could avoid wasting time in future. Last night I wanted to try a fancy UI for rtorrent `flood` https://github.com/jfurrow/flood, which require xmlrpc to work (I enabled the use flag on portage.use). I spent a bit of time to figure out why rtorrent wasn't able to communicate with the UI. The UI come with: `scgi_port` parameter and rtorrent come with `port_range` parameter. As reported here https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/RPC-Setup-XMLRPC, to use rtorrent with xml-rpc you need to add scgi_port = <the_port> inside the rtorrent conffig. I ask if you could add a row like # Port range to use for listening. port_range = 69151-69151 # Scgi-port (use this in case you compiled rtorrent with xmlrpc support) scgi_port = localhost:5000 Or, at least, If someone sets the flag xmlrpc, ships the config with the parameter scgi-port Thanks
I've filed a bug upstream to include this documentation - https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/pull/677. Given it's low impact and being only a documentation problem, it doesn't seem worth including a patch just for Gentoo.

Thanks for filing the upstream bug. I think I agree with closing this, i'd rather carry as few patches in the ebuild as we can and this is better fixed upstream :) I believe all the rest of the xmlrpc stuff works fine, feel free to open a new bug or re-open this if there is more :).
