Bug Description

Binary package hint: transmission

I use Ubuntu 8.04 and repos not are updated (they contain 1.06 version, and lastest is 1.31 (08-08-08)).
In intrepid is 1.22-1.

Official site of Transmissión not provided .deb with lastest versión, only sources(see [1]). Ubuntu users need more alternatives than only compile sources. They need a .deb updated in the repos.

Upstream changes since current intrepid version:

Dear Angel,

Hardy has been released so this can only be marked as a feature request for hardy-backports.
Intrepid reaches FeatureFreeze on the 28th so this could still make it. Can someone put this on the wishlist?

For more information on the Intrepid release process see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntrepidReleaseSchedule

For if it helps, I found a guy who has created a repository maintaining the latest versions:
http://www.bortis.ch/fm/kab/?p=54 (repository with version 1.31 .deb (lastest))

In other hand, in hardy-backports the lastest version is 1.22 (as Intrepid).

I'd very much like to see 1.32 in Intrepid.

I hate when this happens. Ubuntu always ships its default applications that are like 10 versions behind. Grr.....

As far as a SRU update goes, would this even be a possibility? Daniel, if you or another dev think it is worth it, I'd be willing to do the paperwork and try to shepherd it into hardy-updates. Yet, on first look, I think this might be better suited to hardy-backports. Bug #208836 suggests that there would be some opposition to a SRU for this. As far as it goes though, with some minor changes (ie debhelper version and compat version) , this will build fine on Hardy...

I'd suggest to ask in #ubuntu-desktop for a SRU

Maybe somebody can follow up at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=494438 with the change we did to the package and link to its place in the archive? It'd be nice to ensure we have the same .orig.tar.gz
