RFA: azureus -- BitTorrent client
Package: wnpp
Azureus is a BitTorrent client. The upstream package has been renamed
to Vuze and now has a focus on distributing and playing multimedia
content.
Azureus is implemented in Java and uses SWT, the cross-platform widget
toolkit for Java used primarily by the Eclipse IDE.
Eclipse packages the SWT libraries (see the source package eclipse and
the binary package libswt3.2-gtk-java), but these tend to be too out
of date to compile Azureus. For this reason, I maintain a separate
copy of SWT for GTK (see the source package swt-gtk and the binary
package libswt-gtk-3.4-java). The adopter of Azureus would need to
also adopt SWT.
Cheers,
Shaun
