| jdong | charles_: when you get a chance, can you weigh in on bug 189439? I have a feelign it might errupt into a huge mess unless someone authoritative weighs in :) | 15:10 |
|---|---|---|
| ubotu | Launchpad bug 189439 in transmission "Transmission should use a temp-dir to exclude from indexing" [Wishlist,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/189439 | 15:10 |
| charles_ | hm | 15:23 |
| charles_ | my first reaction is that storing torrents in a temporary directory is a recipe for unhappy users who wonder why part of their torrent has disappeared | 15:23 |
| jdong | charles_: right, I disagree with a temporary torrent dir too | 15:24 |
| jdong | charles_: it's a UI complication to deal with a problem via a workaround | 15:24 |
| jdong | a dirty hack that complicates Transmission for everyone | 15:24 |
| jdong | I recall on OS X transmission can tell spotlight to leave an active torrent alone | 15:25 |
| jdong | I wonder if there's a similar call for tracker | 15:25 |
| charles_ | it also makes me think of http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/685 which I was submitted yesterday | 15:25 |
| charles_ | does trackerd know to ignore g_get_user_special_dir()? | 15:26 |
| jdong | charles_: jamiemcc in #ubuntu-devel is the tracker author, he'd be a good one to talk to about this | 15:27 |
| jdong | hopefully you guys can come up with a solution that's also applicable to other P2P type apps | 15:27 |
| charles_ | *nod* | 15:27 |
| charles_ | jdong: thanks for the heads-up | 15:42 |
| charles_ | if the feb 14 release of trackerd has an `ignore' API, will Transmission be able to get a release in after that to utilize it? | 15:43 |
| jdong | charles_: yes, I will file a feature freeze exception if the changes are small, or backport the patch if the new release is too intrusive :) | 15:58 |
| jdong | but one way or another, we will fix this thing before release | 15:58 |
