[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Binary package hint: transmission

tried contacting upstream and I got the rudest most vile treatment for
even broaching the subject and requesting information about public
discussion (their trac tickets on the matter invite public response, but
they don't allow any replies through moderation)

the attached patch reverts a change just before the 2.13 release tag, it
was a clean removal; so it's a clean revert, i've been using the patch
for some a while and i created a ppa with the changes,
https://launchpad.net/~steubens/+archive/transmission-proxy-support

i believe i've exhausted my options, my best hope is that it can be
included in ubuntu for at least the natty time frame, and upstream comes
to their senses by the time it's updated in ubuntu again. it is a major
blocker for me and transmission is really the only usable client on
ubuntu, and rightly, it's default.
