Today, the usual pain of release-based distrubutions such as Debilian, eh Debian or Ubuntu occured to me – I wanted to have the encryption feature of rtorrent that was introduced into libtorrent 0.11 / rtorrent 0.7. Unfortunately the latest version in Dapper is 0.5.3 – so far too outdated.

Doing a .deb package is always useful to keep the system maintained – Building just from source was out-of-question. So after some years of Debian absence I started “fighting” with the build system again.  After some pain-in-the-ass things, I finally had the packages ready: rtorrent_0.7.9-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb and libtorrent11_0.11.9-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
