Azureus Bittorrent Client

I searched around but couldn't find an answer...

Is there any reason that only a binary option is available for azureus in portage? I looked on their project page and it says the project is GPL so I would think an option to compile it would be available in portage.

It's written in Java, so there's no point compiling it from source.

I guess there's no real reason. The compiler for Java isn't going to be compatible with the CFLAGS anyways, so there's not much point in compiling it yourself if no speed benefits exist.

I see...thanks for the explanations.

I'm not a programmer, so forgive my ignorance :oops:

I guess I'll just emerge azureus-bin then.

What about all that binary stuff that is installed with azureus:

hi!

What if i wanna change the source? I mean:

I live in portugal, and here we have hard international internet traffic limits. I have 2Gb per month. If I exceed them i pay 1.5 per 100mb.. That's stealing, but hey, that's what we get......

Anyway, there is a good "portuguese-traffic-only" tracker that NOW only allows us to connect if we have a modified version of azureus, provided by them. And no source availiable!! (i sent them a mail asking for the source a few hours ago... no answer till now) No way i'm gonna install that!!!!!!

Before they did limit the allowed clients to Btuga and Azureus, and i guess they did that with the client name and version strings. The version string of the (current) modified client is '2.2.0.1_MOD'. So i wan't to change the default value on a clean azureus source and compile it, in order to regain access to the tracker without installing dubious binaries.

Now I have the source and I already modified the strings. I have the clean client installed, so now i want to compile the Azureus2.jar file. How can i do it??

Thanks!!

go to the sf site and download the appropriate package:

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/azureus/Azureus_2.2.0.0_linux.GTK.tar.bz2?download
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/azureus/Azureus_2.2.0.0_linux.AMD64.tar.bz2?download

untar it. move the new azureus directory to /usr/share/

make an launcher for it in X, pointing to /usr/share/azureus/azureus. there's even an icon you can use in /usr/share/azureus/icon. :wink:

clicken.
voila. go download your "linux ISOs"

(must have java installed. sun is recommended. also sun-java.)

schoett:
the libraries distributed with the tarball are Eclipse's Standard Widget Toolkit. further info and source is available here: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/

if you'd rather compile it yourself, go nuts. emerge -aDtv swt. you might have to unmask it first. and the list of dependencies is rather long, unless you're a java developer and already have them installed.

optional:
after starting azureus at least once (to create .Azureus in your home folder) download the AzCVS Updater:
http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugins/azcvsupdater_2.1.zip

mkdir ~/.Azureus/plugins/CVSUpdate
unzip into ~/.Azureus/plugins/CVSUpdate

restart azureus.

instant bleeding edge. if you go this path, you're testing unstable software and all standard warnings apply. be sure to visit us at http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=374248

You realize this probably won't help, it certainly won't fix your download/upload limit issues, and it's pretty likely that the tracker will notice strange behavior from you(the better ones do) and can you anyway.

I'll try the script as soon as i get home!! How do i choose gtk/qt? Thanks!

Eskarel:

I don't mind the limited speeds. I just wan't to be able to use the tracker (like i did before) without using the modified azureus version. I haven't received any answer regarding its source code (and it's illegal to deny me that right). So i have no idea about what the changes are, and it can have spyware and so.. No way.

If i manage to use the 'modified by me' file or they give me the source, that's ok. If not i'm gonna complain to azureus on sourceforge, as they (www.btuga.com) are not respecting the gpl licence azureus is released under.

Anyway thanks!!!

They're tiny java libs, the whole thing takes less than half an hour to download and compile on a decent system.
