Hi folks,
I've spent some time today playing around with the Vuze/Azureus
BitTorrent Java app in the Juicer's /pending repo, and I've made
comments on what works and doesn't:
http://jucr.opensolaris.org/review/packages/493/
Now what happens? Basically, my take is the following:
- bugs need to be filed against the SUNWswt package and against Firefox
- the app's BitTorrent upload and download capabilities worked fine;
it's good enough to use as a BitTorrent client, but will be missing some
functionality (no rendering of the Vuze HD Network page since no HTML
browser support since it's not in SWT on OpenSolaris as far as I could
tell).
- I'd recommend putting it in the contrib repo, but I don't get a vote.
(that's fine; I crack under pressure anyway)
- this whole Juicer dependency thing needs to get resolved; Vuze is yet
another case of a package submitted that specifies dependencies
(specifically, on SUNWswt) but that dependency is ignored at install time.
Hope this is more helpful than harmful. I had fun playing with the app,
and am glad to see BitTorrent functionality come into OpenSolaris.
George
