Tribler

[sg1efc]

Hello:

I'd like to take this chance to Thank everyone who has helped creating and maintaining all of the parts that go into this awesome project.

I have searched this forum but did not get any results for the P2P (Peer To Peer) file sharing program called Tribler.

Found this info from searching the web:


http://www.freshports.org/net-p2p/tribler/

tribler 4.0.4_5 net-p2p on this many watch lists=0 search for ports that depend on this port
Streaming capable P2P network client based on BitTorrent

There is no maintainer for this port.
Any concerns regarding this port should be directed to the FreeBSD Ports mailing list via ports@FreeBSD.org search for ports maintained by this maintainer

Tribler is a social community that facilitates filesharing through a so called
peer-to-peer (p2p) network. A p2p network is structural different to a
server-computer structure, where every user downloads its files from one
central server. Within p2p the user/downloader becomes also an uploader to the
next user. In this way there is no central computer that provides every file
to all users.

So I'm wondering if it would be possible to get the latest Tribler version 5.5.13 for use in PC-BSD? Also, with the addition of AppCafe, would future versions of Tribler automatically be able to be downloaded to all Tribler users, and if so, would this be done by automatic updates? Just wondering, as I am very new to PC-BSD and learning a lot by reading a lot... also hope that I have made this request the correct way.

Thanks again everyone,

Thanks Sankt for the reply.

Yes I think a good amount of people will like the Tribler program especially since it does not require the use of a tracker at all.

I will go ahead and put together a PBI module for Tribler, but it will be using the current version in the FreeBSD ports tree (4.0.4_5). Since there is currently no maintainer for that port, you will want to send a request in to the FreeBSD ports mailing list and ask if someone would update it to the latest version (5.5.13). Once it is updated there, then the PBI will automatically be rebuilt on our build servers to track the latest version and we can get the PBI and upgrade patches pushed out to the AppCafe soon after that. When an update is available in the AppCafe, you will get a notification from the system updater tray application.

Thank you very much Ken Moore. Your help, as well as everyone else's help, is greatly appreciated. I will submit the request now to the FreeBSD ports mailing list.

Update:
Here is the request I made, hope it's correct:

Well I like to learn new things so I attempted to use EasyPBI to create the old 4.0.4_5 version that someone had made in the past. The first step went great, however building the PBI resulted in this error log and being a newbie means I don't know how to resolve it, nor do I know what I'm doing (yet), LoL.

This libgtop was compiled on FreeBSD 9.0-RC3 amd64
If you see strange problems caused by it,
you should recompile libgtop and dependent applications
Fetching FreeBSD chroot environment... This may take a while...

Have a feeling this might be a very basic problem but don't know anything about this stuff, LoL. If anyone has any tips they would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You are running into a known bug with the PBI for EasyPBI. It has been fixed in source for a long time, but the FreeBSD port (and the PBI as such) has not been updated. The quick work-around is to start "EasyPBI" from the command line and try to build the PBI as before (it will fail again), close EasyPBI and the command that EasyPBI generated to build the PBI will be displayed in the command-line output. Just run that command manually and it will build the PBI for you just fine. Once you have done this once, EasyPBI will work just fine building PBI's through the GUI from then on.

There is a greatly enhanced version of EasyPBI that I am getting ready to include with the next version of PC-BSD. That version also supports editing of PBI modules and by including it with PC-BSD we can submit patches for it rather than waiting for the FreeBSD port to be updated.
It will not be included in the next testing snapshot for PC-BSD 9.1, but probably will be in the one following that.

Thanks a lot Ken Moore and to everyone else working on PC-BSD. It is greatly appreciated and thanks a lot for this info also.

Can't tell you how much I am really enjoying PC-BSD.

It looks like some progress has been made on updating Tribler to the newest version at FreeBSD:

I'd like to Thank Miwi, Kato and everyone else at FreeBSD and PC-BSD involved in creating and testing the new port for all of us.
