Done, now.
No, the "distrust" is because I don't know how it has been prepared, knowing that aria2 needs a xml library that is not in 10.1: ie, it refuses to make in 10.1. How was it built, then?
I don't know, but it works quite well here. Perhaps yaloki can add some points on this, or if you're quite interested I'm sure you could email him about it.
Well... 1) it doesn't need an XML library that is not in 10.1: libxml2 is used by tons of other packages and is obviously shipped with SUSE (including 10.1) 2) the only issue is that the configure script doesn't detect the libxml2 headers as being under /usr/include/libxml2 (I guess other distributions package it under /usr/include instead) I already sent a mail that explains how to build aria2. The trick is as simple as export CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/include/libxml2" ./configure ... && make && make install Finding out how I built it is as simple as unpacking the src.rpm and having a look at the .spec file.
My remark about the masses not being able to use metalink is because the download page does not point to rpms of metalink clients, only to sources, and one of them is not compilable.
I think it'd be nice to get aria2 in by default, for sure.
Indeed. It's a good CLI parallel/segmented downloader too (and it does bittorrent).
I've added the links onto the download page, now. Any feedback on this is appreciated. Would be nice to have them there for the 10.2 release tomorrow; I think they'll be quite handy.
cheers
