--- KTorrent 2.2.x (KDE3) and KTorrent 3.x (KDE4) in Debian 5.0 (Lenny) --- Since there have been two stable KTorrent 3.x (for KDE4) releases by the time of writing and KTorrent 2.2.x (for KDE3) has not been updated much in the meantime, I decided to ship both versions in Debian 5.0 (Lenny) choosing KTorrent 3.x as default. As a result of this decision: * You can get the old KTorrent 2.2.x release by installing ktorrent2.2 package if you don't want to install KDE4 runtime dependencies or new features are not important for you. * Since ktorrent binary package provides KDE4 based release from now on, it will pull in KDE4 runtime dependencies. However, it is a newer KTorrent upstream release and has more features. It should work fine with KDE3 desktop environment. * You cannot co-install both ktorrent2.2 and ktorrent. They conflict with each other and you can have only one of them on the system at the same time. * KTorrent 3.1 supports migration of torrents from KTorrent 2.2 but not vice-versa. Therefore, if you start downloading/uploading torrents with KTorrent 3.1, you will probably not be able to resume them with KTorrent 2.2 if you downgrade. --- GeoIP and builtin contry flags licensing issues --- Due to licensing restrictions, the source and binary packages of ktorrent do not include a GeoIP database. The upstream source has been patched to use system-wide GeoIP library (available in the libgeoip1 package). That package provides a free GeoIP Country database that is a bit outdated and not very accurate but it may still be sufficient for most KTorrent users, because determination of the peer geographic location is only additional and non-crucial KTorrent functionality, implemented for information purposes. However, if you wish to get more accurate information about peer geographic location, there is a free to download (but undistributable by Debian) "GeoLite Country" database and even more accurate paid "GeoIP Country" database available at the following URL: http://www.maxmind.com/app/geoip_country Please consult libgeop1 documentation how to upgrade GeoIP database on your system once you obtain a proper database file (geoip.dat). The KTorrent builtin country flag images are also not distributed with this package due to obscure license. If you would like to see country flags next to the country names, please install kdebase-data package (that is recommended by the ktorrent binary package). The commands used to modify upstream source tarball can be found at debian/rules "prune-tarball" target.
