Hi, folks!
Could someone point me to sacred knowledge of how I could possibly downgrade the Transmission bittorrent client from version 4.something to previous version 3.something?
I’m running NetBSD 9.3 on RPI2, I was building from sources some third-party software and it was behaving quite weirdly so before submitting issue to bugtracker I’ve updated/upgraded my system to be sure that problem was not on my side(upgrade was overdue for few years :-D ). Everything went smoothly except for transmission-daemon which started to complain about libunistring library or something(transmission-daemon itself was not upgraded because its package is missing in the current packages tree for earmv7hf architecture). Yep, I did stupid thing and removed transmission-daemon version 3.something with pkgin and took for tests binary from 4.0.5nb2 package for the correct arch, I guess I was in a newer-better mood... It’s working but that thing is tremendously slow, slow to start, slow with response to remote client, heavy on cpu usage, it is not obeying set speed limits and so on.
I was not able to find repository with older packages for NetBSD so I’ve tried to build transmission from sources(checkout by 3.00 tag from github with submodules), no luck here(build errors in miniupnpc third-party library), I have built transmission against its dependencies installed via pkgin but resulted transmission-daemon crashes shortly after it being started, I was able to connect with remote client but not for long. Configuration directory for transmission-daemon was used from backup made prior to system upgrade, so it shouldn't be a problem. So yeah, I kinda stuck, any ideas?
