README

        
BUILDING

 Run "./autogen.sh" to generate the configure scripts if

necessary. The man page "doc/rtorrent.1" must be generated with

"docbook2man rtorrent.1.xml" if it is missing.

 Note that rtorrent follows the development of libtorrent closely, and

thus the versions must be in sync. This should not be nessesary in the

future, when the library API stabilizes.

USAGE

 See the man page or website for instructions.

LICENSE

 GNU GPL, see COPYING. "libtorrent/src/utils/sha_fast.{cc,h}" is

originally from the Mozilla NSS and is under a triple license; MPL,

LGPL and GPL. An exception to non-NSS code has been added for linking

to OpenSSL as requested by Debian, though the author considers that

library to be part of the Operative System and thus linking is allowed

according to the GPL.

 Use whatever fits your purpose, the code required to compile with

Mozilla's NSS implementation of SHA1 has been retained and can be

compiled if the user wishes to avoid using OpenSSL.

DEPENDENCIES

  libcurl >= 7.12.0

  ncurses
