Description Luke-Jr 2021-08-21 17:23:02 UTC 
Certain private BitTorrent trackers have a strict whitelisting policy for clients, which are not updated immediately upon new releases.

Currently, their latest approved version of KTorrent is 20.x.

Unless there's a positive reason to prune an old version, please keep them around longer.

Please contact those trackers instead. I don't see a reason to support their failed policies over our fairly matured stable version-at-the-time.
Comment 2 Luke-Jr 2021-08-22 00:17:58 UTC 
"Failed" how? It works fine for them and most distros...

That.

Are there security issues in 20.x?
Comment 5 Andreas Sturmlechner gentoo-dev 2021-08-22 14:40:14 UTC 
I'm not interested.

Besides, this is Gentoo: Feel free to downpatch the version number of your ktorrent-21.04.3 to qualify for other people's lame whitelists. It shouldn't be a problem for you.

It is unnecessary to CC me on kde bugs.
