OK... we've finally a good and stable implementation. It now scales better.
We also had to modify the choke algorithm so that it favors local clients.

How do we provide the patch to the community? Post the diff here? By email?

Keep in mind that we used version 2.0.3 to start from (and we can not upgrade to another version because we have to use this one for school). Another important issue is that we use an external library (Avahi) and that it must be installed.

Code: Select all

yum install avahi-devel

The code above installs Avahi on your computer.

(Don't forget to start the

Code: Select all

avahi-daemon

)

And yes... we modified the configuration script so that it checks if Avahi is installed... if it is not installed the script will notify the user.

Question? Suggestions?

You can send the patches to me by mail (joris DOT guisson AT gmail DOT com)

I don't think that will be much of the problem, I assume most of the code is part of a plugin.

As for avahi, we will see what we can do with that. We can either bail out when it is not found or not compile the plugin, and tell the user (s)he needs to install avahi to make use of the zeroconf plugin.

OK... I'll send you the patches tomorrow.

It is not a plugin... I don't even know if it possible to create a plugin for this kind of feature.

I'm not sure if this was possible with 2.0.3, can't quite remember when we made those modifications, but in the current release, it is possible.
