Release 2.2.2 contains a "Fix for packets being lost in EC communication." which was identified in post 41 of http://forum.aMule.org/index.php?topic=14876 as an error in line 691 of ECSocket.cpp. The Debian Lenny stable repositories contain aMule 2.2.1. Is there a way to apply this known bug fix to 2.2.1? I observe that the source code for aMule 2.2.1 downloaded from SourceForge does not contain the file ECSocket.cpp. How do I locate the 2.2.1 line of code to which the bug fix is applied?

I observe that the source code for aMule 2.2.1 downloaded from SourceForge does not contain the file ECSocket.cpp.
Are you sure? Did you look in the "src/libs/ec/cpp" directory?
-
You know that the current stable version is 2.2.6 ?
-
I do not think ECSocket.cpp is on my server because "find / -name ECSocket.cpp" returns no results when run as root. Also, Debian Lenny does not mount /src so there is no path "src/libs/ec/cpp". But for symptoms associated with this specific bug, amule 2.2.1 does exactly what I want with surprisingly good production so I prefer to the fix the understood bug and retain 2.2.1 from Lenny stable. AMule 2.2.6 is available from the Lenny testing and unstable repositories and will roll into stable in due course. A mixed distribution with aMule 2.2.6 is an appealing fallback position if I can not sort out the preferred approach.

You shouldn't try to apply patches to a software if you can't even find its source directory. ::)
Anyway 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 are not supported here anymore.

Do you understand that for that you'll have to download the sources and compile 2.2.1 for yourself? (In which case, you could also compile 2.2.6 or any other version, you're already diverging from pure Lenny stable.)
-
Yes, I understand that compilation is required, may pose it's own challenges, and would be a temporary deviation from Debian "pure" stable. The desired not "pure" outcome is that amulegui can display search results and that downloads can be started, cancelled, or paused from amulegui. There is a conceptual judgement call whether it is preferable to apply a bug fix to 2.2.1 versus upgrade to 2.2.6 and this is not an emotional issue to me. As pointed out in an earlier post, 2.2.1 is not a current priority area. If how to apply the bug fix to 2.2.1 buried in the archives somewhere and not not readily accessible, an upgrade to 2.2.6 is the path of least resistance.
-
Well, you can get the sources from SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/amule/files/aMule/2.2.1/aMule-2.2.1.tar.bz2/download).
-
But you know, that I have an repo for exactly that. With tested upgrade path when squeeze goes stable.
-
I had to look twice to recognize you. That's you? :)
-
That pretty guy is me. At least the most of time.
-
Skip the homoerotic banter, guys, we're talking debian packages here.

My initial post related to a possible fix for my problem that the Search and Statistics pages did not work in amulegui 2.2.1 where amuled 2.2.1 was running on a separate server. These versions are from the Debian Lenny stable repository. However, when I installed amulegui 2.2.6+debian0-7 on an Ubuntu 10.4 distribution, amulegui worked fine going to the same amuled 2.2.1 server. This is a not recommended, temporary workaround, but today I have no problems and there is no need to touch the server.

2.2.6 client worked with a 2.2.1 server? Maybe it's time you also buy some lottery tickets. But, happy for you I guess.
