Hi, there is some serious bug in rtorrent 0.8.7 because any webui that tries to connect to rtorrent 0.8.7 via xmlrpc just crashes rtorrent. wtorrent guys have labeled rtorrent 0.8.7 as unstable release. I have tried using rtgui and wtorrent and they both crash current rtorrent in fedora repos. After manually compiling 0.8.8 version both rtorrent and rtgui worked like a charm on my Fedora 14 media center. Please update rtorrent asap because without webui it is less usable only over terminal.

What are your plans? Will new rpm for rtorrent 0.8.8 be available as regular fedora 14 update?
Yes, as soon as I or someone else gets around to it.
rtorrent 0.8.8 is now in Rawhide -- http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3094938 . I'll get started on building libtorrent 0.12.8 for F-14 and F-15, and we'll need to get that tagged into buildoverride in order to build rtorrent for both of those. Then we'll push both out as update, via updates-testing.
libtorrent is built for F-14 and F-15; tag request is here: https://fedorahosted.org/rel-eng/ticket/4756 .
Great! I'll test rawhide packages and see if they work ok, and also I can test them once when they land in updates-testing, just ping me via this bug when they are available if you need help with testing and feedback. Thank you very much for updating rtorrent.

Hello Valent, Just pinging you -- if you want to test the updates-testing packages and provide positive karma, that would be awesome. Thanks again, very much -- both for testing, and for prodding me to get around to pushing the update =).
rtorrent 0.8.8 from updates-testing works great but can't give it positive karma because koji has some certificate issues. Both Firefox and Chromium give me this message: SSL connection error Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error. And refuse to log me in.
I can still push the updates manually -- thanks very much for testing. The packages work well for me, as well, so I think I will push them as soon as the mandatory testing period clears.
I have just one question - does rtorrent come without .rtorrent.rc config file in home folder for a reason? Why not add in .spec file so that .rtorrent.rc is copied to users home folder. Hmm, I just looked into default .rtorrent.rc, it actually is commented out, so that wouldn't be enough. If I create same sane default configuration file would you include it in rpm and copy it to user home folder?

Auto-copying things to a user's home directory is /definitely/ outside the scope of things we want to do with system RPMs. > Hmm, I just looked into default .rtorrent.rc, it actually is commented out, so > that wouldn't be enough. > > If I create same sane default configuration file would you include it in rpm > and copy it to user home folder? No.
