YUM-TORRENT.CONF(5) File Formats YUM-TORRENT.CONF(5)
yum-torrent.conf(5)
yum-torrent.conf(5) is the configuration file for yum-torrent(1)
Yum plugin to download and seed packages via BitTorrent. This
configuration specifies which BitTorrent client to use, how to
interact with it, and a number of timing parameters. Of
particular note is the {seed_time} substitution. The benefit of
using BitTorrent is partially attributable to clients contining to
seed their torrents some time after they have completed their
download. yum-torrent(1) employs an exponential decay algorithm
seeded from the hostname and torrent info_hash. All clients will
seed for at least seed_min After that, the number of seeders will
decay as the probability of other hosts also needing the same set
of packages will also decrease.
/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/yum-torrent.conf
service
A specific relative path on the http repository where the
pkgtorrent-service(8) is configured. See also
pkgtorrent-service.conf(5) for more. Defaults to
/yum/torrent_service
client Fully qualified path to BitTorrent client that accepts a
single positional torrent filename that will download into
the current working directory. Required.
options
Additional command line parameters passed to client on
startup. A substitution named {seed_time} is available.
This is measured in seconds and can be used to instruct the
BitTorrent client to seed for a variable time once the
download is completed.
complete
The text to match anywhere from the logged stdout of the
client signaling the package files have been downloaded.
This allows the client to continue to run and seed the
torrent file for others.
All the values in this section are positive integers measured in
seconds.
download
The maximum time to wait for the message complete to appear
in the log file. If a download with the plugin fails for
any reason yum will not find the downloaded rpm files in
/var/cache/yum directory. It will fall back on the internal
download mechanism.
seed_min
The minimum value for {seed_time}. Default 900 (15
minutes). It is recommended you set this to the same time
as your configuration management interval.
seed_max
The maximum value for {seed_time}. Default 86400 (1 day).
nullfile
Delete the padding nullfiles after this time period.
cache At the end of each run, /var/cache/yum_torrent is examined.
Any files not touched in this time period are deleted, and
empty directories are removed. Note: If yum is not run for
an extended period, this garbage collection will not
happen.
