Welcome! I will be posting here about the work that is underway on my [Google Summer of Code][10]
|
| 2 |
project: [BitTorrent Proxy for Debian Archive][20].
|
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
A lot of the initial discussion about the path this project will take has already occurred
|
| 5 |
between myself and my mentor [Anthony Towns][30]. This has led to an inital name for the software
|
| 6 |
program created by the project: debtorrent. To support the project, an [Alioth project][40] has
|
| 7 |
been created, including a [mailing list][50]. All of the previous discussion has been archived to
|
| 8 |
that mailing list.
|
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
A [wiki page][55] is available for contributing ideas and comments on the proposed
|
| 11 |
implementation of this project.
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The program will be based on the [BitTornado][60] bittorrent client. A [subversion
|
| 14 |
repository][70] has been created for tracking the changes made to the client to create the
|
| 15 |
debtorrent program. It currently contains the unmodified BitTornado code from version 0.3.18.
|

|

If you're interested in contributing, join the mailing list, update the wiki, or try out the
|
| 18 |
experimental code in the subversion repository.
