Package: mktorrent
Version: 1.0-4
Severity: wishlist
Probably the best way to create a temporary file in Shell is to
use mktemp(1). Alas, mktorrent(1) doesn't allow for the
--output= file to be overwritten, thus making it “incompatible”
with mktemp(1). Consider, e. g.:
$ mktorrent --announce=http://nowhere.invalid:8080/ \
-o "$(mktemp -t -- torrent.XXXXXXXX)" -- example
mktorrent 1.0 (c) 2007, 2009 Emil Renner Berthing
Error creating '/tmp/torrent.xejf3RRS': File exists
$
AIUI, the conventional wisdom is to support some kind of a
‘--force’ option to disable the checks such as the one performed
by mktorrent(1) in open_file ().
