Port transmission-daemon from DDWRT to torrent directly into Readyshare USB devices #70

I'm writing this here as a suggestion for a possible new function to implement to this fantastic firmware. I've searched the web but couldn't find the .ipk and try to install it by myself. Thank you

negan07 commented 3 years ago

transmission can be added but with very low priority, because pretty invasive for the firmware structure, for the usb driver and also well supported by storage dedicated machines like synology

if someone wanna spend some time on this is the welcome and support is always given

I'm a developer myself, I can try but I don't know where to start looking for developing for this platform. If you can give me any directions, I will look into it!

negan07 commented 3 years ago

start cloning the git project and prepare machine for development (debian is recommended/mandatory) follow the instructions on the wiki https://github.com/negan07/ancistrus/wiki/Prepare-&-compile-sources https://github.com/negan07/ancistrus/wiki/How-sources-are-organized https://github.com/negan07/ancistrus/wiki/Create-a-new-work-app https://github.com/negan07/ancistrus/wiki/Build-a-package

make sure first to be able to recreate a firmware image: so you will be ready to compile binaries successfully with related toolchain included

Thank you, I will start working on it after college's exams session.

Transmission package is on the way

opkg update && opkg install transmission

Make sure to upgrade curl & core package before for best effort.
