qBittorent had a lot of bugfixes http://www.qbittorrent.org/news.php
for two others I didn't manage to find the changelogs fast, for the third FF crashed when trying to view it.

However, I assume that for such software, it is safer to have the most recent version, anyway.

 qbittorrent    pasmatt
 rtorrent       remmy

Please file a separate bug report if you decide to push a new version to 5 updates_testing, and set that report to block this one.

(Btw, I did not check the cauldron versions, leaving that to the maintainers)

Ehmm, our https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Updates_policy ? Reporter, if you want to see newer versions of mentioned torrent clients than please open a backport request, so we may try to backport them to Mga5. Thanks.

Comment 3 Rémi Verschelde 2016-03-14 13:24:58 CET

As mentioned by Atilla, we usually only push bugfixes and security fixes to stable releases.

For Transmission, version 2.84 was the lastest stable release when Mageia 5 was released, and version 2.90, 2.91 and 2.92 were only released a few days ago, so I wouldn't call us "outdated" yet.

The changelog shows mostly bug fixes though, so I'll maybe provide an update to mga5: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/browser/trunk/NEWS

Keeping this report in case Rémi wants to do that.

Removing the tracker and the other packages.

@ Erik

It is OK to open backport requests (1 per package) for the other packages.

Comment 5 Rémi Verschelde 2017-03-12 18:31:24 CET

Given the work that I have on Cauldron / Mageia 6, and since this wouldn't cater to an actual bug that Mageia 5 users are having with transmission, I'll pass on that update (and I guess other maintainers would feel the same for the other packages).

Sorry for the late decision, this went under my radar for a while :)
