(:title Installing rtorrent 0.7.9 on a Debian etch NSLU2:)

Outdated Package in etch

The rtorrent package in the Debian etch arm repository is version 0.6.4. Version 0.6.4 was released way back in June 2005.

The current stable release of rtorrent is 0.7.9. The rtorrent Changelog suggests that there have been many worthwhile changes since 0.6.4. Its a good idea to run a more up to date version than 0.6.4. on the slug.

Install from Lenny

It is possible to add the lenny repository to your slugs apt source and install rtorrent_0.7.9 with apt-get. The downside of using this method is that apt will install a LOT of key lenny package dependencies. This will leave you with a slug that is running a mixture of etch and lenny packages.

Build from Debian Source Packages

In the hope of keeping my slug as standard(etch) as possible,I decided against the apt-get lenny repository method. Instead I setup an etch build environment using QEMU. The QEMU environment had CXXFLAGS set in system env as is recommended here

In the QEMU environment I built rtorrent_0.7.9 and its dependencies from Debian package sources. etch apt-get installed X-dev packages were used where possible and lenny ones built where necessary. All the packages were built as they come from the Debian Source Packages. No patches, no changes. The result was five packages that install on an etch slug without any further lenny package dependencies.

The packages are,

• libssh2-1_0.18-1
• libcurl3_7.17.1-1
• libxmlrpc-c3_1.06.18-1
• libtorrent10_0.11.9-1
• rtorrent_0.7.9-1

The commands below will install rtorrent_0.7.9 on a NSLU2 running Debian etch. The install procedure has been tested on a slug that already had rtorrent_0.7.4 installed and a slug that had a clean OS install.
