0001584: New file types, please.

Notes
(0003379) sturedman (developer) 2010-02-01 21:14	A configurable list is not worth the additional complexity imho. Did you check out the SVN version? It should have more file types than 2.2.

(0003380) rmenessec (reporter) 2010-02-01 22:00	I was able to access the git repo mentioned on the aMule wiki, but I wasn't aware of an svn repo. (Berlios does not appear to allow ro svn access, even if you're a registered Berlios user.) In any case, I'm using a headless amuled on a Gentoo server, and amulegui on an Ubuntu box, where building from source is slow and difficult (read: not worth it) at the moment. I just found https://launchpad.net/~amule-trunk/+archive/ppa [^] -- is this the "official" place to get svn builds for Ubuntu? I see the packages haven't been updated for about a month. The proto versions appear to match between these debs and egit amuled for now, but this won't be the case if the build I just pulled from launchpad falls much farther out of sync. This dependency on using recent source builds to get minor tweaks like better / more complete file types lists is kind of the reason I opened this ticket, with this wording. :) It may not seem "worth" the complexity, but I don't know any official or semi-official way to get svn snaps on Gentoo apart from the ebuild I just crufted by hand, and there's kind of a steep learning curve for new Ubuntu users (I know-- I used to be one) when it comes to finding PPAs or official project packages for Stuff. A lot of users-- esp. seasoned sysadms I know --refuse to use non-final builds of anything, especially not for a comparatively tiny thing like new filetypes in the GUI. (Also, technically, I shouldn't be using ~x86 Gentoo with loads of overlays plus my own custom ebuilds for a firewall machine. So, in the near future, I'm migrating to Ubuntu Server and avoiding weird pre-release code.)

(0003381) sturedman (developer) 2010-02-01 22:14	There is no public SVN, but there are tarballs available here: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?topic=16651.0 [^] Packages for SVN versions see here: http://forum.amule.org/index.php?board=70.0 [^] (no, there is no official place for Ubuntu packages at the moment). And the Feature Requests section of the forum is much better suited for feature requests than the tracker.
