[Mldonkey-users] Some features and debianization

[Goswin Brederlow]

Hi,

I just posted a patch to http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/index.php

Its a collection of small changes I made to mldonkey and the files
needed to build a debian archive (mldonkey-cvs.deb), the later are all
in the debian dir and can be savely ignored if unwanted.

The changes are for donkey only so far and break the rest but it
should be easy to adopt the other cores or supply dummy values. If you
use more than the donkey part you have some fixing to do before
use. Everyone else enjoy.

Changes:
- prevent SIGFPE due to devision by zero when the filesize == 0 (after
  recover_temp it can happen).
- Only query for files in state Downloading
- Only query once for each file in one go
- Only start downloads with clients that have more chunks than you
- Only start download if every chunk of a file has been seen once
- transmit age and last_seen (the oldest time a block of the file has
  been seen last)
- added age and last_seen columns to gui (you might have to add these
  in File->Settings -> GUI->Columns titles)

TODO:
- make other cores work again, should be trivial, volunteres?
- make age and last-seen columns more pretty, suggestions?

- update age and last_seen columns in the gui (as time goes by)
- update availability and last-seen between client and gui upon
  changes. Currently it gets updated irregulary if omething else
  changes (toggling paused or downloading being done)
- cache and merge updates to the gui. Currently it maxes out a
  10 MBit/s lan (not due to my changes)
- add new File state Searching to flag files not yet seen complete
- display all time seen and unseen chunks for not yet completely seen
  files instead of frequency of online chunks
- more elaborate traffic control, more content based

MfG
