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.
Hey guys, I'd like to do this today.
I'm currently building and installing opentracker (and libowfat).
Pierre, do you happen to know much about the config? Do we get a web interface with this, or is it dumb?
Its a really KISS application. Here are some install instructions: After installing the package you might want to alter the rc script to use a dedicated user like opentracker isntead of nobody; this user does not need any rights nor does it need to write anything anywhere. Create a config file /etc/opentracker/config containing: tracker.rootdir /etc/opentracker access.whitelist whitelist access.stats 127.0.0.1 This virtually disables any stats page etc.. Maybe we want to enable it later. Then we need a whitelist file for all torrents we like to share in the same dir. I use this which includes the previous ones on those archbott images from tpowa. Everything after a whitespace will be ignored; so I used it for commenting for the recent entries: dc33a27b9ad0d97a1d2c536ae45561f507c25ad1 7434c995950fdf3c29bf90f46bc26defc4e9d2f6 5d49e09821539ce9753b5b8968633317b049fb74 5959847e44c24bd7b432db603e6a4b495a3ac192 b329016903efb29d7677f42bbc5f4a1f13f7a921 91f754453d87bf2956bd21dbc3bf4703aaaeb78c 72e23e8836e22f253dfd810b5138809b468e09f8 5ae22f7cef9b033f5e4830511c6f929ba672b9ec 8d8413b188224de03facf6c79258dcb2356cbcb5 8719f00b1927ef85cca616a292ab6e073183be05 97a5c0701ceee6598efe08ad8577513bdc341139 2009.04-1-archboot.iso 783668c0dd9bd9f73ec1e3fd2156727f33fec3d1 2009.05-1-archboot.iso 772AA65BDCF417F927D78E0A8CA27F9931D12214 2009.08-1-archboot.iso I recommend to add an extra dns-entry like tracker.archlinux.org for it. The default port should be 6969. So if this thing is running I just could change tracker.archlinux.de to the new IP and the old torrents will still work. -- Pierre Schmitz, http://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
