Hello. I've seen you're the Debian maintainer of the mldonkey package.
I wanted to ask you about the useful mldonkey_server command, which
doesn't seem to be shipped anymore with the mldonkey package.
Do you plan to put it back? It was useful because mldonkey tends to eat
huge amounts of memory after some days.
Thank you!
Stefano
Indeed, i was the one who create this command for mldonkey. The new active
maintainer of mldonkey package, decide to remove this command, because
it was not as useful as it should be and generates more bugs than required.
But i agree with you that this was useful ;-)
What i can propose to you, to replace this command is to use a cron task
which relaunch daily/weekly/monthly mldonkey. This is pretty straightforward
and you will have the same effect. Here is a sample /etc/cron.d/mldonkey:
# Restart mldonkey everyday at 4:00am
0 4 * * * test -x /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server && /etc/init.d/mldonkey-server
restart
I also forward this mail to the debian BTS, in order to remind me or Samuel
to add this to README.Debian...
Kind regard
