[Bug 275375] Re: Please upgrade to deluge-torrent 1.0.6

[danielhollocher]

I just started testing 1.0.7, and I've already discovered some bugs.
(One in the packaging, and one in the program).

I think maybe we need to change how we think of this program.  Instead
of thinking of it as an upgrade, just think of it as a new program,
which is what it is.  At a minimum, you could leave the old deluge
packages in jaunty, with the deluge name, and add the new deluge as
deluge1.  This is done with things like grub and java, so I think it
would make sense.

Thus, you can incorporate deluge1 now, leave deluge0 for those who don't
want to upgrade without an upgrade path, and then merge later on.
(though, personally, I don't care about the loss of settings.  It keeps
the torrents, which is good enough for me.)

Question: since deluge0 is essentially an abandoned project, does it
make sense to invalidate all the outstanding bugs in launchpad?

Lastly, the last caveat is a feature, not a drawback.  You can still run
the daemon all you want, but the default setting for the GUI is to
attach itself to the local daemon, and close it when you close the GUI.
This is what a single user expects.  But, if you want to run the daemon
on an ongoing basis, you either have to disable "classic mode" for the
gui, or use the web and cli UIs.  Anyway, its not that important.
Normal users won't notice, and the help docs seemed clear enough for the
power users IMHO.
