The builds can be found here: https://edge.launchpad.net/~zachtib/+archive

The commit log is here: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/log/branches/deluge-0.6

Please note that 0.5 and 0.6 are not compatible with each other and it's recommended that you backup and remove your current config folder prior to using 0.6.

Hi All,

I have started making some 0.6 nightly builds .. the process isn't entirely automated yet so i might not get them uploaded every night, but I am working to get it automated asap.

The builds can be found here: http://download.deluge-torrent.org/inde ... ghtly/0.6/

cool

Please note that 0.5 and 0.6 are not compatible with each other and it's recommended that you backup and remove your current config folder prior to using 0.6.

does that mean 0.5 plugins aren't compatible with 0.6?

if so are they going to eventually get ported or rewritten or what?

Correct. 0.6 is a complete rewrite so none of the 0.5 plugins will work.

We hope to port the popular plugins over to 0.6, but it will be awhile until I get the plugin system working properly in 0.6.

no worries, hopefully this time there will be a proper documentation for it.

oh well.

I installed the 2727 on gutsy but when I try to run deluge, I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/deluge", line 5, in <module>
    from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ImportError: No module named pkg_resources

that's with no .config/deluge folder btw.

Yea, you need to install python-setuptools .. this will be fixed in the next build.

yep, that did the trick.
looks really great

I want to test it too, but some security questions: 1) downgrade will be possible just by installing older version above nightly? 2) can it pick up my torrents list from 0.5? 3) i think i need to backup my profile, like in firefox 3.0 testing?

1. Downgrading is possible.
2. It won't load your persistent.state file from 0.5 as the new torrents.state file in 0.6 is a different format.
3. You don't _need_ to backup your profile, but I would recommend doing so if you value your current configuration. Really, it's "Just In Case".

0.6 is still under heavy development, so things might break.. I just want people to be aware of this fact.
