Add Transmission with sequential download

[bahusoid]

Can you please add transmission-seq package for transmission with sequential download feature? This feature allows to start watching movie while it's still downloading

Compiled binaries for OS3 and WD MyCloud Gen2 here

I'm not familiar with this branch / feature, I'll invite you to build it yourself. Here's some pointers:

• use my spksrc fork, my gut feel says that the old toolchain might still work
• full steps for another project https://emby.media/community/index.php?/topic/70731-mono-version-of-emby-server/page/4/&tab=comments#comment-800905
• change the transmission source branch here: https://github.com/stefaang/spksrc/blob/master/cross/transmission/Makefile#L5

Feel free to ask questions in this thread.

It allows to watch movie while it's still downloading (as content is downloaded sequentially)

I'm not able to setup dev env at the moment. But will try later... I see you tried to add Git Hub action - it would actually be very cool if packages can be generated by Git Hub action. Though it seems it's not functional as it throws the following error:

make: *** No rule to make target 'apkg-wdarm'. Stop.

Pity... Anyway thanks for pointers.

@stefaang I tried to build package using Docker on Windows.

docker run -it -v e:/Git/spksrc:/spksrc synocommunity/spksrc /bin/bash
cd  spk/transmission/
make apkg-wdarm

And it fails with some checksum error:

Any ideas how to fix it?

it fails with some checksum error

Ok I got it. It's git autocrlf setting to blame

If anyone else is interested I was able to compile transmission 2.94 with sequential download patch: transmission-seq_2.94.zip
