Arch Linux User Repository

@tuxayo, I used your PKGBUILD and it works for me. Thanks.

Here is the PKGBUILD that I modified to install version 3.10-beta.

Please check the diff with the original, I'm not sure what I did is clean.

I confirm, rutorrent 3.9-1 is broken. The fix reported by andreibsk works fine. thanks !

Just installed with Apache and connected to rtorrent, but got the following error. I also can't load the settings popup:

ruTorrent cannot determine the UID of rTorrent user

And another required dependency (aside from rtorrent itself):

php-fpm

After I upgraded rutorrent to version 3.9-1 and rtorrent to 0.9.8-1 rutorrent seemed to have some communication problems with rtorrent. Symptoms included failure to load the settings popup, failure to detect and check the open connection port, etc.

The fix for this seems to be in the following commit and can be applied manually after install in the application folder (/usr/share/webapps/rutorrent/): https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent/commit/ec8d8f1887af57793a671258072b59193a5d8d6c

@ljmf00 any chance of an update please?
