Well, because I try to teach myself how to build good deb-packages instead of the usual cheap checkinstall-builds, I've grabbed Vollstrecker's sources and rebuild them for Ubuntu. (You can find more about the packages: here)

Because I currently don't have any webspace (tripod hates me...and it's not so easy to find one without filesizelimit...) I've just set up a local respository.

It's still far away from being perfect, but it does work fine.

How do use a local repository:

Download the wx-files and the aMule-files and extract them both in the same folder, e.g. /opt/rep/

Add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:

Code: [Select]

deb file:///opt/rep testing wx amule (Adjust the path according to the previous chosen.)

Upgrade your packages list and you're done. Now you'll have wx 2.6.3 and aMule CVS 0623 ready to install via apt-get/aptitude/Synaptic.

Because it just became fun, I've continued with building VLC as well:

I know someone who will be happy about this.

I you think you need webspace, you could upload them to my rep. Or better to my local machine and I do the upload, because I have only one password, and don't want to share that with the public.

[wuischke]

I guess I won't build them daily like you do (I've no 24/7-pc in use), but I'ld really appreciate if you have some spare webspace to host packages/repositories. I'll contact you again, when I think that I set up everything important - which won't be today and probably tomorrow due to the birthday parties of two friends.
Very huge thanks for your generous offer!

I tried it and it works fine :-)
But can i get rid of this:
This binary requires you to use the flag --desu-Desu-dEsu-deSu-desU-DESU and only if you're very sure of it DESU.?

Thanks,

Matthias

[wuischke]

You could, but I won't change this in the binary, because our evil admin would be going to slap me if I did...

Kry, you don't see the following, do you?

As a workaround just write yourself a little shell-script and start amule this way.

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/bash
amule --desu-Desu-dEsu-deSu-desU-DESU

[stefanero]

the flag is tehre for a reason guys,

sometimes we had reports "omg amule-cvs killed all my downloads" so well if you now add the flag it basically means you "know what you do"

[wuischke]

I understand the point and I'm too lazy to write and start a script anyway...

But if you restart amule quite often (no matter why) you may be a bit pissed of by typing the desu-desu-desu-thingy...I presume that these people know what CVS means...as it may

burn your house, kill your dog, etc

 

[stefanero]

cool feature in bash

ctrl-R and type desu it will automatically fill in the last command with desu

or set an alias

Anyway, by the time you find out how to work this around, we'll change the SVN flag again. You know, we're evil.

[wuischke]

Every day another one? Being evil really means a shitload of work...

[GonoszTopi]

Well, it can be easily done with an automated script, that creates, for example, a random 32 character long hex string for the new SVN flag.  

[Gerd78]

Automated scripts? Good idea. Because circumventing it can be done with an automated script as well:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
SVN_FLAG=`amule --help | grep scary | [...some sed/awk magic...]`
exec amule $SVN_FLAG

[GonoszTopi]

Except if I also change the description of the flag randomly.

[Gerd78]

But don't forget to change the option ordering in --help randomly, too, otherwise - ...
