Doesn't look too difficult. If noone beats me to it, I'll give it a shot over the weekend.

I would take a look at it, but I hate any and all gtk programs that have gnome dependencies with a passion, so someone else should take this one

Hi there !

I'm the developer of this application.
Just so you know, I'm currently getting rid of gnome dependencies, as I'm adapting the application to be cross-platform (almost done).

Maybe you can shed some like for me then please.
There doesn't seem to be a sane way to install this and the documentation doesn't describe how.

The application is packaged using distutils. The installation is done by calling "python setup.py install". For more informations about the setup script, run "python setup.py --help". It may help you in the process of building the package.

@some-guy94 - nice, thanks! I tweaked it so the download name is presevered and added it to the AUR as torrent-search for others to enjoy. Let me know if you want to be the maintainer and I'll disown the package so you can take it.

I posted some corrections for the PKGBUILD in the AUR, although I didn't build it, because I don't want 70mb of dependencies for such an app ;-)

graysky · 2010-08-14 11:53:53

Updated it and also wrote one for the svn build.

torrent-search stable
torrent-search svn

One question I have about the svn build... how can I have the svn command always grab the latest build without updating the PKGBUILD? I know I've seen other PKGBUILD do this behavior.

@graysky: Put this at the beginning of build():

  if [ -d $_svnmod/.svn ]; then
    (cd $_svnmod && svn up -r $pkgver)
  else
    svn co $_svntrunk --config-dir ./ -r $pkgver $_svnmod
  fi

A simple example PKGBUILD would be this: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages/netsn … n/PKGBUILD

@dcc24 - I had it there...?

EDIT: Dunno what to say... seems to be working now. Thanks!

installed it, made some searches and now it consumes 2,5GB of memory

glebihan · 2010-08-19 21:17:12

@capoeira : I had noticed this issue and have been working on it. It appears that a lot of temporary files were not deleted after usage. I'm currently updating all the plugins to avoid this from happening. Please post a bug report on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=ad … id=1414043 if there still seems to be excessive memory usage.

Hi !

Just wanted to let you know that version 0.9.0 has been released and that there are no longer any Gnome dependencies.

SanskritFritz · 2010-08-24 13:22:59

Thanks! Useful application now for us KDEers too!

Updated both the stable and svn packages deps accordingly and they both now work with the python rebuild.
