Hello everyone,
Replying to myself, sorry.

| places, so it is better to dedicate different uid for peering task.
This

| I wonder, should we assign an uid in the UIDs file? What default
homedir
| should this user have? I've set default to /home/deluge, and maybe
there

| - Minor bug in launching command-line: it should be
--logfile=${logfile},
| not a redirection, but unfortunately it does not work now. Could not
| investigate and fix it, sorry.
Fixed in new version and handled in updated patch.
| - run_rc_command is called with environment variable HOME set to
${home},
| because deluged can't determine homedir from user, and it does not
accept
| "-c" switch.
| - Bug in deluge-webui script: when it is time to stop deluge, script
has
| to find process due to lack of pidfile. If at that time you are running
| deluge with gtk UI, script will find your instance, and will try to
kill
| it. If deluge_webui_user is not you, it's ok, your deluge is safe, but
| after that script will not be able to start webui, because it would
think
| it is already running. This is because deluge program does not accept
| "--pidfile" parameter. There is already a feature-request in deluge
| bug-tracker for adding pidfile
[http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/758],
| so maybe soon it would be possible to improve this script.
|
|
| Can this patch be commited, please? If something is wrong, comments
would

I've updated my patch to deliver new version of deluge - 1.1.1. In
addition to portversion bump and distfile changes,
I have committed 1.1.1, thanks for patch. But I didn't commit the startup
script yet. It's still undone, because it still need
pkg-install/pkg-deinstall and probably a few more. Take a look at
sysutils/hal or/and x11/gdm for example how to do with add user/group. I
have never work with like that, so I will need time to learn about it that
is more like weekend. Unless you want to do it, be my guest. :-)
I've changed
MASTER_SITES to "official" download site, although it has the same IP
now,
it can change in future. Also, some plist fixes related to new version.
I didn't commit these. The plist part of %%PORTVERSION%% is not need
because I usually create a new plist at the every version anyway.
Cheers,
Mezz
