upgrade of the nightly packages kills download queue

[deluge-trac@…]

whenever one of the nightly packages is upgraded and the deluged daemon is restarted, the torrent queue is empty again.

These are in-development builds.. Of course stuff will break every now and then. I have broke the torrents.state file multiple times now. This is not a bug.

andar, it seems to me you have a very weird standard as to what constitutes a bug. I am well aware that the nightlies are not supposed to be stable and that they are likely to have bugs. I am not complaining. But my understanding is that the nightlies are published so that errors can be found and fixed. Marking problems as invalid just because "stuff will break every now and then" does not help this at all. This is a reproducible problem.

The torrents.state file is not compatible between some revisions. I usually state in the commit log when I break torrents.state compatibility. Please review the log before upgrading if you don't want your state to break.

make torrents.state file understandable

Andrew let me into a "secret" today that I want to share with others who might be reading this report. The download queue is usually saved to ~/.config/deluge/torrents.state. While it is plain text, it is cumbersome to read. The following will give you more readable output.

• Download the  file attached to this report and place it in ~/.config/deluge/
• cd ~/.config/deluge/
• python torrent_pickle.py|less

The file is actually stored in ~/.config/deluge/state now

yes, thanks for pointing that out. If that file does not contain what you are looking for and your previous deluge installation was about a month old, try the location I gave above.
