Transmission Bittorrent Client - Gentoo PPC (working)

Guys

I have installed Transmission on my Gentoo 2007 Kuro HG, runs well, im real happy with it, it takes a clean zen type approach, no feature bloat.

The install is straightforward providing you unmask the unstable package in Portage.
I could not get the stable version to start (1.22) you will need at least version 1.33

Do the following:

Code:

nano -w /etc/portage/package.keywords

Add this line, to unmask the current version:

Code:

net-p2p/transmission ~ppc

Followed by:

Code:

emerge -av transmission

Then follow the rest of the guide from the "Configuration" step here: http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/HeadlessUsageGentoo

Have Fun.
Stonie.

Nice work, stonie!

I'll add this thread as a link in this article: http://buffalo.nas-central.org/index.php/Transmission_BitTorrent_Client

Small Issue

I just followed this procedure again today with version 1.42, not sure if there has been a version bump? But the provided /etc/init.d/transmission script on the transmission Wiki seems to have a few issues. It appears that peer limits cause a problem when passed as arguments. I removed the following lines to allow the /etc/init.d/transmission script to append the correct arguments:

Code:

OPTIONS+=" -l ${TR_PPT:-60}"
OPTIONS+=" -L ${TR_PEERS:-240}"

Tip

In the config file don't forget to allow your deskop access to the web console. change 192.168.1.* to your range.

Code:

# or (for versions 1.4x -- different syntax)
TR_ACL="127.0.0.1,192.168.1.*"

Good luck!

Cheers,
Stonie.

Sup Stonie! I was wondr'n if this would run in an HS-D300GL box on a OpenLink 051b version 2.6 Linux kernel?

yeah should work, but since openlink has IPKG you might be better off trying to use that.

I have never used ipkg, so im not sure of the details, but looks like it will work.

good luck.
