Fedora Package Download

[marquez]

Hello,

Transmission 2.04 has been out for some time now, but in my package list of Fedora 13, the latest version is still 1.93. Is this normal ?

I wanted to upgrade manually, so I went to your own download page :

http://www.transmissionbt.com/download.php

but the link "Fedora Official Packages" is broken. Please fix it, so that I can upgrade manually.

This is normal. To get the new versions of programs you should either build the program yourself or upgrade your distribution.

Your answer wasn't helpful, and the link "Fedora Official Packages" wasn't fixed.

I have the latest distribution of Fedora and I even subscribed to the "test" package lists, but as of October 9th, 2010, Transmission is still at version 1.93, according to Fedora's Updates Dialog.

Looks like they made the link case-sensitive. Fixed by making this change:

Code: Select all

- https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/transmission
+ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/Transmission

It seems there won't be any official new packages for Fedora 13 with Fedora 14 around the corner.

What you could do, is:
a) Build from source

b) Pull a package from Rawhide (the Fedora testing-ground for new releases)
To do so, you should add the Rawhide-repo:

Code: Select all

yum install fedora-release-rawhide

This repo is disabled by default.
And update your transmission-packages:

Code: Select all

yum update transmission* --enablerepo=rawhide

This works for me, but it is untested and may break your system

Looks like they made the link case-sensitive. Fixed by making this change:

Code: Select all

- https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/transmission
+ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/packages/name/Transmission

The new link doesn't work for me? Shouldn't it be the following page?

Code: Select all

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/applications/Transmission

Thank you, Nemo, for your expert reply ! Following your steps, I installed very easily version 2.04. I feel good, now !

This worked beautifully on Fedora 32 bit -- thank you!

One change for new installs:

yum update transmission* --enablerepo=rawhide
should be
yum install transmission* --enablerepo=rawhide


And then if you want to get transmission running on system boot, copy your settings.json file to /var/lib/transmission/.config/transmission and run this command:

Code: Select all

chkconfig transmission-daemon on

Make sure transmission-daemon is not running before you do this. Then reboot and enjoy -- it will start itself on boot.
