[Request] Sharelin. A Gnutella2 p2p client

unixNeophyte · 2011-08-12 21:07:40

Sharelin is the only G2 linux client. Can someone make a pkgbuild?

Hi !

To my knowledge there are some other Linux alternatives gnutella clients and they are also already packaged for Arch (either precompiled or in AUR):

frostwire - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … frostwire/
gtk-gnutella - http://www.archlinux.org/packages/commu … -gnutella/
phex - https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=4413

I would recommend frostwire BUT from version 5.0, they dropped support for gnutella so, if you want to use it you must download an older version and install it manually.

I haven't tried gtk-gnutella nor phex, but you can give them a try.

And if all else fail, you could also try to package Sharelin yourself following the directions given in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Creating_Packages

... is not that hard and can be also fun

The p2p clients you mention connects to Gnutella network, Sharelin connects to Gnutella2 (G2)

Frostwire dropped gnutella because nowadays is full of fake files. On the opposite hand Gnutella2 is ok.

Iam trying to follow the steps archlinux wiki proposed but fails from the beginning

That error is because the code is based on version 2 of the boost filesystem API. The default of boost 1.47 is version 3. So, to work around that, you can just apply this simple patch before cmake:

boost-filesystem.patch (or whatever you want to call it)

Sorry, you're right. I must read questions twice next times

I quickly whipped up a lean PKGBUILD, available here http://pastie.org/2366728
It already includes jomasti's advice. If you're going to add it to the AUR, please add the Maintainer line as you can see in many PKGBUILDs.

unixNeophyte · 2011-08-13 19:13:02

Thanks very much for the pkgbuild
Sharelin works great, I really appreciate your help, and jomasti help too.

Currently I am not going to add this to aur. I don't think that I am capable to maintain it.

lucak3 · 2011-08-13 19:49:04

I don't think you would have much to do when a new version is up, just change pkgver and md5sums and you're done.
Else, consult the wiki on PKGBUILD and the man page of makepkg, those are great starting points.
Nonetheless, this community is here if you have any problem with packages.
Maintaining a package is the best way to start learning what's needed in Arch
P.S. If the problem is time, don't worry, this will need just some minutes for each release, especially if you have nice users for your package, notifying you for newer versions.
