Description peterwlowe 2005-06-03 19:59:35 UTC
I have no idea how to make an ebuild, but it seems there's been quite a version
bump on this package.  If someone would be kind enough to write an ebuild, we
can bang on it, and get it all stable for everyone.  :)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --pretend qtorrent
2. see very low version number
3. google and discover much newer version

Actual Results:  
I found that Qtorrent had a newer version available, although not at the
originator's website.

Expected Results:  
It should have had an ebuild for the newer version, masked with ~

I was able to find the source for 2.9.1 on the debian unstable web-page.  Their
bugtracker seems to think it's a development release, so hopefully adding it to
portage will encourage other developers to work on it, as it had been quite out
of date for a long time.

Qtorrent-2* is much more unstable than qtorrent-0.9. I had to patch it to compile even. I'm attaching this patch for futher use, but i won't bump it in portage.

Can we not make a (broken) ebuild, hard mask it, and let users decide if they want to fix it?
