yum-torrent.conf(5)

Синопсис (Synopsis)

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.

Параметры (Options)

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.

[timeouts] OPTIONS

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.
