Transmission 2.84 not in Optware ARM repository?

[lwizard]

Why latest version of transmission is not available on Optware repository for ARM (ac68u)?

I am stuck at 2.82 version.

I use IPKG update, IPKG upgrade.

Am I missing anything?

The optware repository is a third party one, and its maintainers aren't on this forum, nor are they associated with Asus or myself in any way. You'll have to track down who's the maintainer of that repo, and contact them directly.

Compiling Transmission v2.84 from the source code

I had the same issue, so I decided to compile Transmission v2.84 from the source code and merge it into Merlin's code. It took some time, but it's pretty stable on the RT-AC87U and the RT-AC68U.

can you provide us latest transmission please?
Thanks!

Why did you merge it in the firmware? Why haven't you submitted it to Optware repository so anyone can install it on every compatible ARM device?

Good question, I wish also have an updated version...

Merlin's Firmware 376.47 with Transmission v2.84 on RT-AC68U and RT-AC87U

I only have two compiled versions for download:

To download the RT-AC68U firmware use:
https://truck.it/p/6G80zWGDb7

To download the RT-AC87U firmware use:
https://truck.it/p/x6tqenMUuj

The v2.84 transmission daemon is located at:

/usr/bin/transmission-daemon

Use at your own risk!

Transmission v2.84 Build Script Using Merlin's Source Code

Using Merlin's source code, you can build Transmission v2.84 using his documentation on Wiki. My Makefile script can be downloaded at:

https://truck.it/p/wKElwtr8lf

You just need to place this script into the router folder e.g. ~/asuswrt-merlin/release/src/router

and add the following to the Makefile:

ifneq (,$(wildcard Transmission.mak))
include Transmission.mak
endif

Sorry, I don't have the time to compile the code into Optware etc.

Thanks a lot for your effort!
I will not compile the whole firmware, I prefer waiting for someone compiling it for Optware repository.
Very strange that no one is really interested in.. I installed transmission for optware thinking that it will be updated sooner that asus' one...

I compiled firmware for RT-AC56U as suggested but I can't find transmission-daemon file under /usr/bin !?
