Description Anton Bolshakov 2007-01-03 15:21:48 UTC
BitTyrant is a new, protocol compatible BitTorrent client that is optimized for fast download performance
It differs from existing clients in its selection of which peers to unchoke and send rates to unchoked peers

An ebuild would be appreciated.

BitTyrant Ebuild for the 010807 release. Bump-safe.
Comment 2 Alex Elsayed 2007-01-11 04:32:01 UTC
I made one out of the Azureus ebuild. I'm emerging it now.
Comment 3 Alex Elsayed 2007-01-11 04:51:32 UTC
Just remembered: Be sure to copy over the "files" directory from the azureus ebuild. (Minus the manifest, of course)
Comment 4 Alex Elsayed 2007-01-11 04:53:58 UTC
And change the version on the fedora folder to match the version.
Comment 5 Alex Elsayed 2007-01-11 04:56:11 UTC
Never mind, they don't patch cleanly. Just omit them from the ebuild.
Comment 6 Alex Elsayed 2007-01-11 05:02:28 UTC
Gah, it's being stupid. Please hold until I upload a finished ebuild.
Comment 7 Alex Elsayed 2007-01-11 06:39:10 UTC
Nevermind. Compile fails with 127 errors using blackdown-1.4.2 and 119 using sun-1.5.0.09. Not something I know how to fix.
Comment 8 Alex Elsayed 2007-02-02 17:51:57 UTC
I couln't get a source ebuild to compile, so i made a binary one.

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

I think it was nice research and interesting idea, but the project looks dead today. Let me close the bug and mark as "later" in case of any activity.
