Hi all, Would anyone update the JDownloader porting status section in the wiki[1]?
I gave it a try some time ago and the conclusions of my work are available in this thread[2]. To summarize the thing, JDownloader doesn't seem a good candidate to be in the ports collection. It has auto updates nailed into the code so every time it starts up it tries to upload itself. It also assumes one "installation" per user and doesn't seem to be easy to install once and use many times. Upstream developers refused to include a configuration knob to disable auto updates. Maybe this information is of any use in case someone wants to take over the task. I gave up since it can be used just downloading the .jar file[3] available at the website. Also, I don't mind to be contacted in case someone is interested in taking over the task. Cheers.
