Auska 4c6f7afdc7 Add network.local_port commands for tracker port reporting
Mirror the network.local_address.* command family for ports:
- network.local_port            report the best-match local port
- network.local_port.set        set both the ipv4 and ipv6 local ports
- network.local_port.ipv4(.set) get/set the ipv4 local port only
- network.local_port.ipv6(.set) get/set the ipv6 local port only

Values are restricted to 0-65535; 0 (default) means unset, and trackers
then report the listening port.

Why: behind multiple layers of NAT the port peers must connect to can
differ from the port rtorrent is listening on. These commands let the
user manually advertise the forwarded public port per address family,
e.g.:
    network.local_port.ipv4.set = 6881
    network.local_port.ipv6.set = 6882

network.local_port is marked safe for RPC use alongside
network.local_address.

BUILDING

Jump into the github cloned directory

cd rtorrent

Install build dependencies

Install libtorrent with the same version rTorrent.

Generate configure scripts:

autoreconf -ivf

Optionally, generate man pages:

docbook2man rtorrent.1.xml

Man pages output to "doc/rtorrent.1".

RTorrent follows the development of libtorrent closely, and thus the versions must be in sync.

USAGE

Refer to User Guide: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/User-Guide

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.
