[Mldonkey-users] [patch #4536] better mldonkey_submit

[Dennis Nezic]

Follow-up Comment #3, patch #4536 (project mldonkey):

upon further consideration, i think the script that mldonkey outputs should
only serve as a template, and each user should be expected to manually copy
it to wherever he chooses, and edit it appropriately. gentoo's
/etc/conf.d/mldonkey only specifies admin login info, and this may not always
be what we want -- for example, in a multi-user environment, we probably don't
want to give every user admin rights to mldonkey.

this is also a good idea, because (at least in my case), mldonkey runs on a
separate server computer .. and i don't have it installed on my personal one
(i use the web interface to control it) .. so, i would have to copy/edit my
own submission script anyways.

the main point of this patch was to make other users' experiences easier (by
having a pre-made script), so they don't have to waste time writing their own
link submission scripts. to this day i'm not sure what the preferred method of
doing this is -- i'm inclined to think that the majority of users have to jump
through hoops to submit links to mldonkey. my guess is they have to manually
open mldonkey's http or gui, and manually enter the links that way. i
remember trying a firefox extension, but it only worked with ed2k:// files --
not with others such as regular torrent files. this script is a lot more
flexible. users can use it in their own scripts to submit links, or via
firefox with the downloadwith extension, etc.

so, i would suggest we make a template script for each supported platform.
the attached one should work in most of the ones you listed, no? perhaps
users of those other platforms could post a revised script for their own
systems?..
