Hi engineers,

thanks to a new version of mktorrent it is now easy to create webseed enabled torrents. I have updated my wrapper script to use this instead of my evil ktorrent hack.

This script can be found at http://git.archlinux.de/archlinux-torrent-utils/plain/mktorrent-archlinux

You will need kmtorrent from http://mktorrent.sourceforge.net/; there is also a PKGBUILD.

I would suggest to install this on sigurd and also the opentracker on it. This way the releng team can create those torrents right on the server and will also be able to add those to the trackers whitelist.

Hmmm note that this is NOT the same mktorrent that is in the AUR :roll:
