Bug#908974: Update qbittorrent package

2018-09-19 Thread jim_p
Package: qbittorrent
Version: 4.0.3-1
Followup-For: Bug #908974

Dear qbittorrent developer.

The qbittorrent package on debian stable is on an old version, but that is how
debian stable works. Packages stay on the same version for its entire
lifecycle. If some user complains about it on your github, please tell him the
above.

However, you could ask for package upgrade for testing/unstable, which is stuck
on 4.0.3 since late December 2017. And at that time, qbitorrent 3.3.15 (the
version in testing/unstable) was already 4 months old, and even 4.0.0 from
upstream was one month old.

I have also made a request for upgrading it to any 4.1.x since 4.1.0 was
released in early May, but so far I get ignored.

Bug#908974: Update qbittorrent package

2018-09-16 Thread Ngosang Kplan Strirv
Package: qbittorrent
Version: 3.3.7

Hello,

I'm part of qBittorrent team (https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent)
We are in throubles because the qbittorrent versiĆ³n in Debian repositories is 
really old and it has a lot of already fixed bugs.
Every day we receive new issues related to that old package and they flooding 
us. We are only 5 develores with more tan 2500 issues open.
Please, could you update the package?

Thank you, regards.
