install transmission 2.7.3 on ubuntu hardy 8.04

Préparer ubuntu

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool pkg-config intltool libcurl4-openssl-dev libglib2.0-dev libevent-dev (libminiupnpc-dev libminiupnpc5 libappindicator-dev)

*** Compiler libevent >= 2.0.10

http://libevent.org/

tar xvf libevent-2.0.20-stable.tar

cd libevent-2.0.20-stable

./configure

make

make verify

make install

libevent s’installe dans /usr/local/lib alors que transmission la veut dans /usr/lib

Solutions :

1 - LD_LIBRARY_PATH=”/usr/local/lib” transmission-daemon -h

2 - ln -s /usr/local/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5 /usr/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5

ldd /usr/local/bin/transmission-daemon

libevent-2.0.so.5 => /usr/lib/libevent-2.0.so.5 (0xb76e8000)

*** Compiler transmission

tar xvjf transmission-2.73.tar.bz2

./configure —disable-gtk —disable-mac —disable—cli

make -s

make install

Un fichier de configuration est crée au premier lancement du daemon dans ~/.config//transmission-daemon/settings.json

La blocklist peut être mise dans ~/.config/transmission-daemon/blocklist/

au format bluetack : http://www.bluetack.co.uk/config/level1.gz

Script de démarrage pour lancer transmission en tant que mldonkey avec mise à jour de la blocklist et rotation du logfile
