Created attachment 318378 [details] emerge --info Starting in version 0.16, rasterbar libtorrent makes use of #if defined UNICODE for checking for the need of std::wstring vs std::string (line 362 in http://libtorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libtorrent/tags/libtorrent_0_16_2/include/libtorrent/config.hpp?revision=7204&view=markup). This shows itself in my case when using the python bindings (http://libtorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/libtorrent/tags/libtorrent_0_16_2/bindings/python/src/torrent_handle.cpp?revision=7204&view=markup) and move_storage gets called by for example deluge. I have unicode as a global use flag. I don't know if it's an issue with my system, but UNICODE is not defined, so when move_storage gets called from python libtorrent throws an error, expecting type std::string while getting type unicode. What I did to fix this was to add unicode to IUSE for the ebuild. I then use cppflags_append to add -DUNICODE if use unicode. I don't know if this is the proper approach but it works. I'm attaching my emerge --info. I will make another post with a patch for the ebuild I am currently using following this.

Add more info about your usecase - UNICODE in this package is meant only for Windows. On Linux, it simply uses utf8.
Use case is simple. Install one of the rb_libtorrent 0.16.x releases. Install deluge (1.3.5 and 9999 were tested). After a download completes, right click the listing and select "Move Storage." Nothing happens. (Automatic move upon finishing does the same thing if set.) If debug logging is enabled for deluged, a simple Error is displayed. I chatted with andar on the #libtorrent channel at irc.freenode.net and he walked me through programming deluge to log more information on the exception. I did so and the traceback showed that libtorrent was expecting std::string to be passed to move_storage, but was getting unicode instead. I tracked down what could have changed in move_storage to cause this, and it was the lack of UNICODE causing TORRENT_USE_WSTRING to be false thus only allowing std::string usage with move_storage. Passing -DUNICODE to the cppflags allows TORRENT_USE_WSTRING to be true and libtorrent allows for unicode to be passed to move_storage. Like I said, I wasn't sure this was the proper method for resolving the issue, but it is now working for me. If this package was only intending UNICODE for windows, then there's a bug upstream somewhere, but someone with more knowlege should report that.
Actually, just took another look at deluge. They intentionally cast the destination path as unicode for move_storage. # Attempt to convert utf8 path to unicode # Note: Inconsistent encoding for 'dest', needs future investigation try: dest_u = unicode(dest, "utf-8") except TypeError: # String is already unicode dest_u = dest So it would appear this is in fact a deluge bug. Not sure exactly what deluge needs to do instead and maintain cross platform consistency.

Turns out my inital attempt only resolves the issue for manually moving data in deluge. When set to automatically move when a download finishes, the issue crops up again. Need to investigate further.
I have a bug related with rb_libtorrent-0.16 on deluge-1.3.5 too Deluge just do not work. Very slowly download and almost do not upload.

I suspect part of the answer is here (http://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/issues/detail?id=173): > unfortunately, in 0.15 and earlier, the torrent creation is an exception from > the rest of the API in that it doesn't re-encode strings for filenames. > > You may want to try to use the wide string version of add files, > especially on windows. However, the problem deluge has is that it needs to handle Windows and Unix-like differently. Actually, it's (arguably) a little design flaw of libtorrent... Well, not quite. It's more that libtorrent_rasterbar was written in a way that it could be built/work on Windows versions that don't support Unicode. That was a feature back when Win9x was common, now is a misfeature. On the other hand, even these days there are Windows programs released not built with wide API :roll:.
Upstream bug report: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/2140
Created attachment 329054 [details, diff] deluge 1.3.5 patch Fixes "move completed to" when download finishes.
Deluge git patch for that bug is here: http://git.deluge-torrent.org/deluge/commit/?h=1.3-stable&id=7d88cb1850eaf4d15646bdbf919b4451de0cbfea It looks a bit more extensive than the patch attached to this bug.
This was fixed years ago. Please close.
