[SRU] transmission option to inhibit suspension isn't working

This a debdiff that ports the fix from upstream to the maverick package. This package will also be available from my PPA.

Thanks for the patch, I've removed the tag as it's used for SRU verification and this bug isn't yet in -proposed so there is nothing to fix.

We (or rather I) are currently trying to figure out whether it's a good idea to get 2.05 released and pushed into maverick or should I just backport a bunch of highest-priority patches into 2.04. I'll know in few days and then prepare and upload an update.

Here is what would go in the proposed 2.05: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/report/17

Either 2.05, or cherry-picking diffs, are both fine with me.

It looks Ubuntu will accept a 2.05 made up of backports of small fixes & changes as mentioned in the previous comment.

So the plan is this: I think all the changes slated for 2.05 are safe, but kklimonda and I both would prefer to see them tested in the wild before backporting them from trunk to the 2.0x branch. Most of these are already in 2.10 or 2.11, but still won't see official release until 2.12 is released for the Mac in a couple of days. So, I'm going to table the 2.05 backports for a week to see if there are any bug reports filed against 2.12.

s/but still won't see/but some still won't see/ :)

Any news on this?

I'll upload a package later tonight, then it'll have to get approved by the sru team and it will land in maverick-proposed so it can be tested.

As we have a newer version in natty already, I assume this is fixed there.

Accepted transmission into maverick-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Works fine so far.

There is a problem with the web interface in the proposed release, reported as bug 705303.

Just tested transmission from maverick-proposed. It works like a charm, inhibit suspend functionality works ok.

Laptop is still suspended if lid is closed but it seems like being an unrelated bug with gnome-power-manager behavior (it assumes lid close is an explicit user suspend request like clicking Suspend in session menu.

Bug on lid close suspend not being inhibited by gnome-power-manager: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-power-manager/+bug/389857

This bug was fixed in the package transmission - 2.05-0ubuntu0.2

I've just tested on Natty with Transmission 2.13 and the bug is definitely still there...

Julien, as others have reported it as fixed, it may be better for you to open a new bug report and mark it as a regression. This way we can collect information from your system.
