Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: important
Dear mentors,
I am looking for a sponsor for my package "transmission" which fixes RC
bug http://bugs.debian.org/718624, related bug #734467 and merged bugs.
* Package name : transmission
Version : 2.84-0.2
Section : net
It builds those binary packages:
transmission - lightweight BitTorrent client
transmission-cli - lightweight BitTorrent client (command line programs)
transmission-common - lightweight BitTorrent client (common files)
transmission-daemon - lightweight BitTorrent client (daemon)
transmission-dbg - lightweight BitTorrent client (debug symbols)
transmission-gtk - lightweight BitTorrent client (GTK+ interface)
transmission-qt - lightweight BitTorrent client (Qt interface)
To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/transmission
Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:
dget -x
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/transmission/transmission_2.84-0.2.dsc
Changes since the last upload:
* Non-maintainer upload.
* transmission-daemon.postinst:
- Change home directory of transmission-daemon to
/var/lib/transmission-daemon from /home/debian-transmission.
Thanks to Alex Peters for the report. (Closes: #734467)
- Disable password authentication for debian-transmission user for
improved security. Logins with e.g. SSH RSA keys are still possible.
- Check existence of debian-transmission user with getent passwd
debian-transmission instead of id.
* Add transmission-daemon.preinst:
- Fix permissions in /var/lib/transmission-daemon and use
/var/lib/transmission-daemon as the new home directory.
- Move old configuration files to appropriate config directory
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon.
All together this ensures that transmission-daemon will not segfault
when systemd is the default init system.
Thanks to Andrei Popescu and Antoine Legonidec for the report and
additional tests. (Closes: #718624)
* transmission-daemon.links:
- Link settings.json from /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json to
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon.
- Link /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon to
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info due to compatibility reasons with
the old sysv-rc init script settings.
* transmission-daemon.dirs:
- Do not create /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info anymore.
Regards,
Markus Koschany
