When will KTorrent 1.2 be relesed?

I'll like to see the new futures and bugfixes in a relese soon, and no I can't use the svn version..

Why I cant use the svn version:

• I don't have an ebuild
  
  • I can't install it in /usr/kde/3.4 - it will be imposible to know witch files are related to KTorrent.
  • I can't uninstall or upgrade KTorrent esely
  • KTorrent install will not be regiterd in portage
• I can't write an ebuild
  
  • The subversion eclass dosen't work - because I have to take files from different places on the subversion tree
  • The kde eclass dosen't work - because I have to fetch files from svn

Unofficial info is that 1.2 will be released by the end of January/06.

But I still doubt that you can't install SVN version. Can you download the SVN source? I think so. Then just try to compile that source and don't delete the directory after 'make install'. When you want to remove it just go to that dir and 'make uninstall'. I don't know much about portage but this should work, or I am missing something?

Rather than installing in /usr/kde/3.4 and create problem with your install/package manger as you fear, why don't you install it somewhere else.
Like /usr/kde/svn or /opt/kde or whatever. Basically a place you controll and may delete if necessary. Then just set the KDEDIRS variable to point to both locations. Like KDEDIRS=/usr/kde/3.4:/some/other/place or KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:/some/other/place.

Sidestepping the package manger issues and keeping it maintainable(You should probably remove the old KTorrent to avoid potential problems).

OK, you win I now have KTorrent svn (1.2dev) - but one problem is still remaining. Why is it in English?

My whole system is in Swedish but KTorrent witch is in English... Do I need to install the NLS files supparatly??

And are those Icons in the Configuration dialog sopose to look like that??

As far as I'm familiar with translations, they are added when official release is announced so they don't exist in SVN head (am I right?).
I'm not sure but maybe you can try checking out old translations (for 1.1) from 1.1 branch and use them. Offcourse, all new added strings will be in English... Or you can wait for the official 1.2.

As for the icons, yes they're supposed to like like that for now. We are planning to 'fix' that.

Translations are kept on a different place of the KDE svn repository, when the time to release comes, I run a script which downloads all code and translations and makes a nice package of it.

As for 1.2, like Ivan said, the current plan is end of january 2006. This gives us lots of time to implement stuff during christmas holidays.

But maybe we should do an rc1 release for 1.2, in the middle of december. To get more people using it, so we can get a lot of bugs out before 1.2.

You have to be carefull with that, most code of KT is in the shared library name libktorrent, things can get problematic if the wrong libktorrent gets loaded.

And exectly where is it stored so I can download them...

I'll send you a link to the script I use to make packages :

http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/downloads/createPackage.sh

You need to run it with this command :

createPackage.sh -ab trunk/KDE/extragear/network -a ktorrent -av 1.2dev -ib trunk/l10n -is extragear-network --nodoc --admin branches/KDE/3.3/kde-common/admin --notoplevel --package gzip

That should get you the latest code from svn + the latest translations from trunk (who probably aren't up to date).

Thing is, if it's possible to install by hand, it's relatively easy to make an ebuild which does exactly the same thing.

The only thing the svn eclass really does for us is to cache the previous checkouts so that it doesn't have to grab the whole thing all over again.

I saw a lot of interresting things that this new version will have and I want to try it, but I don't know where to get this SVN version?
I tried to look at
http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/downloads/ if there was a directory nightly or something like that but there isn't.

Check this out:
http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/index.php?page=faq#q3

Thanks! It seems I missed that out.
I'm make-ing it right now.
It seems that this builds it in the current directory and I probably need to do a make install at the end?

You can run from the build directory, but then it wont find the plugins.

If you do make install, and there are no plugins found, you have to run kbuildsycoca.

Everything went fine and ktorrent is now working!
It seems that this SVN is not so hard if someone writes a nice faq with all the steps.
