[aur-general] Possible Deletion Request for downpour
I am currently the maintainer for the downpour package. It is currently has a fatal bug that I can't resolve, its web site has been down for a while, the maintainers are MIA, and it only has 2 votes. Unless there is a reason to keep the package alive, I request that it be deleted. -Aaron DeVore
What does it do and what is the bug? I'm handy with programming and wouldn't mind a challenge if you want to keep it afloat for a little longer. On Apr 17, 2013 12:14 AM, "Aaron DeVore" <aaron.devore@gmail.com> wrote:

Downpour is a Python-based BitTorrent client with a web interface. There is a place where a function returns None instead of the expected object. That causes an exception when the web interface attempts to call a method on the return value. If you want to dive in, I can describe it in more detail. The package on the AUR is out of date. I can send you my current version. It includes a full systemd setup and correct dependencies. -Aaron DeVore On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 6:31 AM, Tanner Danzey <arkaniad@gmail.com> wrote:

I'd like to take a poke at it, it doesn't sound like a giant problem, but who knows. -- Regards, Tanner
Never mind, I got it working. A file was empty, which caused some unannounced cascading failures. -Aaron DeVore On Wed, Apr 17, 2013 at 5:01 PM, Tanner Danzey <arkaniad@gmail.com> wrote:
