HOWTO: install qBittorrent backports from a repository.

#1 Post by stevepusser »

I've been building these for a few months, so decided to put a how-to here. Just upgraded to to 3.3.16 bugfix release. My repo also has a more recent libtorrent-rasterbar "engine" than Debian, so be aware that will also upgrade.

https://software.opensuse.org/download. ... bittorrent

Simplifying the directions for Stretch:

As root or with sudo:

Code: Select all

echo 'deb https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/stevenpusser:/qbittorrent/Debian_9.0/ /' > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/qbittorrent.list
As standard user:

Code: Select all

rm -f Release.key
wget -nv https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:stevenpusser:qbittorrent/Debian_9.0/Release.key -O Release.key
As root or with sudo:

Code: Select all

apt-key add - < Release.key
apt-get update
You can now install or upgrade qbittorrent. Jessie user can follow the same instructions, but will have to change the "9.0" to "8.0".

Just updated to qBittorrent 4.0.2 for Stretch. Can't be built on Jessie, unfortunately.

Updating to 4.0.4, built against libtorrent-rasterbar 1.1.5, for Stretch. Also added ARM 7 (armhf, arm71, Pi v.2) and ARM 64 repos, so let's see if those build.

Great job. Thanks Steve. Just had to turn "https" to "http" in repo address, I couldn't get the packages via apt upgrade... is this normal ?

You can install apt-transport-https, then the https URLs should work.
