Upgrade rtorrent in karmic 9.10 THE EASY WAY
This is just a quick follow-up to my earlier post. I now have the rtorrent package source up and running on my ppa. So now you just need to do the following:
echo -e "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/patricksissons/rtorrent/ubuntu karmic main \ndeb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/patricksissons/rtorrent/ubuntu karmic main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/rtorrent.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install rtorrent
This will add my rtorrent ppa to your custom sources, update your source cache, then install the updated version of rtorrent (as well as libtorrent and xmlrpc). Combine this with rutorrent and you have a pretty sweet headless torrent server.
