WMU-6500FS - Deluge 1.1.0

The new deluge version is here!

Build result

[binary] [file list]
If you don't have the previous version (deluge-1.0.5) installed, follow the previous deluge post, install all the prerequisites and dependencies and come back here for the rest. Note that the deluge-1.0.5-gcclibs package is valid even for deluge-1.1.0, so don't get confused with its misleading name.
On the other hand if you have the deluge-1.0.5 installed, you have to clean it up first (while preserve all the already installed dependencies).

Stop the deluge daemon if it is running. You can do it via console:

box# deluge --ui=null
>>> halt
>>> quit
Thanks!

or forcibly:

box# killall deluged

Now uninstall the previous version:

dev# cd /mnt/C/
dev# ./filopack.sh --remove deluge-1.0.5
Configuration file .filopack/.config file found and used
Sure to remove deluge-1.0.5 locally at /mnt/C (y/n)?y
...

If you are not using the filopack packaging system, you can remove the previous version as follows:

box# cd /mnt/C/
box# wget http://filodej.ic.cz/filopack/.filopack/deluge-1.0.5.lst
box# xargs rm -f < deluge-1.0.5.lst

It is likely that deluge developers preserved the compatibility of configuration and the following step is not necessary, I just to be sure delete the configuration as well:

box# mv ~/.config/deluge{,.del}

Now we are ready to install the new version:

box# ./filopack.sh --install deluge-1.1.0
Sure to unpack deluge-1.1.0 locally at /mnt/C (y/n)? y
...

Now we are ready to try the daemon, still it is necessary to use the LD_PRELOAD prefix or deluged.sh script - now updated in order to support parameters (like -d for example) - see this post on mascat for details - if we are lucky, everything runs smoothly:

box# deluged.sh

Default GUI

It is possible to set a default GUI (if you prefer other than predefined GTK GUI):

box# deluge --set-default-ui=console
The default UI has been changed to console

It is nice that now it is not necessary to modify the configuration by hand (like it is described here).

Remote access

The CLI ui has been renamed from null to console. Notice that it is necessary to use LD_PRELOAD prefix just for daemon and GTK GUI, there is no need to use it for the console UI).
We can use it for enabling the remote access (we have to restart the daemon in order to make the change active):

box# deluge --ui=console
>>> config --set allow_remote True
>>> halt
>>> quit
Thanks!

box# deluged.sh

Authentication

Another new feature is the user authentication. For details see [Authentication] and [ThinClient settings]. Without adding a username and password to ~/.config/deluge/auth configuration file you won't be able to remotely connect to the daemon nor event see whether the daemon is running (which is a nice).

Edit: since the ~/.config/deluge/auth file initially does not contain trailing newline the instructions did not work, now it is updated appropriately

box# echo -n -e "\n<username>:<password>" >> ~/.config/deluge/auth

Be sure to append to the file, in case you rewrote the file you won't have been able to connect to it locally, since it initially contains a localclient record. If you accidentally rewrite the file, you can just delete it, restart the daemon and a ui (e.g. the console) and the default file containing localclient authentication info is created for you.

Web GUI

If you want to use the Web GUI (and new Ajax UI seems pretty good to me), now it is not necessary to run the web client on the same machine as daemon. Via the Web GUI you can connect to any daemon you want (not just localhost). Not sure whether I personally utilize it, but it seems to me like a nice feature.

That's all folks.

Build sequence

It was about the same like in previous version so just in short:

Remove the previous version:

dev# cd /mnt/C/
dev# ./filopack.sh --remove deluge-1.0.5
Configuration file .filopack/.config file found and used
Sure to remove deluge-1.0.5 locally at /mnt/C (y/n)?y
...

Init the timestamp for the new one:

dev# ./filopack.sh --init  deluge-1.1.0
Configuration file .filopack/.config file found and used
Timestamp written to file .filopack/deluge-1.1.0.ts

Download and extract the source:

dev# cd /usr/local/src
dev# wget http://download.deluge-torrent.org/source/1.1.0/deluge-1.1.0.tar.bz2
...
04:37:59 (55.28 KB/s) - `deluge-1.1.0.tar.bz2' saved [2196924/2196924]

dev# tar xjvf deluge-1.1.0.tar.bz2
dev# cd deluge-1.1.0

Setup the include and library paths:

dev# export CFLAGS=-I/mnt/C/sys/include/boost-1_35
dev# export LDFLAGS=-L/mnt/C/sys/lib

Add the missing define:

nano libtorrent/include/libtorrent/socket.hpp

      #ifndef IPV6_V6ONLY
      #define IPV6_V6ONLY 26
      #endif

I did not find the libtorrent/src/memdebug.cpp, so undefining the content of this file is not necessary anymore.

Build the code and install the binaries:

dev# python setup.py build
...
dev# python setup.py install --prefix=/mnt/C/sys/
...

Try to run the daemon:

dev# deluged
dev# /usr/bin/python: can't resolve symbol '__cxa_pure_virtual'

... issue wit h unresolved symbol is still the same. As a workaround the LD_PRELOAD prefix can be used. Let;s create scripts for it:

dev# echo LD_PRELOAD=\"/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0\" deluged \"\$@\" > /mnt/C/sys/bin/deluged.sh
dev# chmod +x /mnt/C/sys/bin/deluged.sh 
dev# echo LD_PRELOAD=\"/usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-gcc41-mt-1_35.so.1.35.0\" deluge \"\$@\" > /mnt/C/sys/bin/deluge.sh
dev# chmod +x /mnt/C/sys/bin/deluge.sh 

Now the daemon runs ok:

dev# deluged.sh

Let's try the GTK client:

dev# deluge --version
1.1.0
dev# deluge
...
  File "/mnt/C/sys/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge-1.1.0-py2.5-linux-i686.egg/deluge/ui/gtkui/common.py", line 

45, in get_logo
    size, size)
gobject.GError: Unrecognized image file format

ChangeAs a fix we can change the extension:

dev# sed -i 's/deluge.svg/deluge.png/g' /mnt/C/sys/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge/ui/gtkui/common.py
dev# deluge

Touch related files with older timestamps (in order to include them to the package):

dev# find /mnt/C/sys -path "*deluge*" -type f -exec touch {} \;

Then we are ready to create the package:

dev# cd /mnt/C/sys
dev# ./filopack.sh --pack deluge-1.1.0
...

I noticed that there was duplicity after the installation which made the package twice as big as was necessary: It seems to me that whole directory tree /mnt/C/sys/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge-1.1.0-py2.5-linux-i686.egg/deluge was redundant - directory /mnt/C/sys/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge had a similar content (including the huge libtorrent.so). I just dropped the former one and everything seems ok and package has 16MB (compared to 31MB).
