[opensuse-packaging] PySoulSeek and Nicotine
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 hello, there was a mention of Nicotine (a soulseek client, successor to PySoulSeek, http://nicotine.thegraveyard.org/ ) on opensuse mailinglist. I am maintainer of PySoulSeek and would like to drop it in favor of Nicotine. However, contrary to the mention on the opensuse list, it appears that we do not have Nicotine package (yet). Is this true, or was I searching for a wrong name? If we don't have the package, why? Are there some licensing issues i'm not aware of (something along the lines of bittorrent's DHT technology problem), and if yes, how come we can have PySoulSeek (package pyslsk) and not Nicotine? Or is it just that nobody packaged Nicotine yet? regards jan matejek -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4-svn0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFH2rjAjBrWA+AvBr8RAkbMAJ4x1BDnT3hsNJCZBYE7KBTd7B4EVgCePDoW 6vWkWGHK7Gg7QAwbK9VvnhI= =Xoh1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Nicotine is also dead, nicotine-plus is the project currently alive. Pascal Bleser mantains it in Packman (because of legal problems?): http://packman.links2linux.org/package/nicotine-plus --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org

Yep. DHT is considered risky by Novell's legal dept.
I also build ktorrent with DHT on Packman. The ktorrent packages that
ship with openSUSE + the ones in the Build Service repositories are
without DHT (it can be disabled at build time).
cheers
