I'd prefer to not have numbered ports - these are confusing and usually only used when we need to have more than 2 versions of a single port. This is even less wanted given than all rblibtorrent ports conflict with each other and are (if I'm not mistaken) _not_ drop-in replacements for each other due to API incompatibilities. I'll try to look into sharktorrent (if alepulver doesn't step forward), and see if it can be updated to use libtorrent 0.14, I think it'd be better to - switch it to rblibtorrent-devel - remove rblibtorrent - repocopy rblibtorrent-devel to rblibtorrent - update rblibtorrent-devel to 0.15 and switch all ports to ("stable") rblibtorrent not sure if there's enough history worth retaining, as this may be shortened to just updating both ports to corresponding newer versions. If sharktorrent can't be fixed, we'll kave to keep rblibtorrent13 port or remove both, however given that latest sharktorrent release was not that long ago, I think the latter is not desirable. -- Dmitry Marakasov . 55B5 0596 FF1E 8D84 5F56 9510 D35A 80DD F9D2 F77D amdmi3@amdmi3.ru ..: jabber: amdmi3@jabber.ru http://www.amdmi3.ru
