Amulegui no longer exists

Hi,

Since the update of amule now at version 3.0.1 amulegui package has disappeared, so I’m not able to connect to a remote amule server. The only way to perform such connection is using the web interface using amuleweb, which is very limited in their functionality.

Is there a plan to release again the amulegui package.

Thanks. BR.

The package name is amule and I see it is available to install in f44.
The version is 3.0.1.

Hi Barri,

Yes, there is a package called amule, it was available in the past, but it only allows local connections, for this reason existed the amulegui to allow remote connections, and since the 3.0.0 version it disappeared from the repositories…

Thanks,

The amule program is the GUI - I just ran it and it showed a GUI for me.
But as I have no idea what the this does I have no idea if something is missing.

If you think the package has a bug you can raise the ticket in the Fedoraa bug tracker. Making sure you're not a bot!

Hi Barry,

Sorry for the missunderstanding, let me try to explain in a different way…

There is a program called amule that allows you to execute Amule locally and there is another program called amulegui that allows you to execute a graphical interface similar to amule but connecting to a remote server where amuled (daemon) lives and runs all your downloads and uploads.

This amulegui (which is also the name of the package) seems to be removed from the fedora repositories since the version 3.0.0.

Look at this page describing this different clients:

Amule interfaces

This is important for me because this is my current architecture for eDonkey downloads/uploads…

What I’m trying to describe here are facts, and I would like to know if we are going to get back again amulegui package???

Thanks.

My suggestion is to raise a bug against amule package in the Fedora bug tracker and ask about the amulegui.

Yes, done!

Thanks.

Thank you for opening amulegui package no longer exists. The full details are in the ticket, but the short version is that amulegui will be available in the next aMule update and is currently available from my COPR, as described in the ticket.

Users therefore have a meaningful choice. Those who prefer a traditional native desktop application can use amulegui. Those who prefer a headless installation can install only amule-nogui and manage aMule from any web browser without installing the monolithic client or remote GUI. The new Web UI already has near-feature parity with the desktop client; friends and chat remain to be added to the frontend.

Hello Gerald,

I see that you were answering in the bug 2526406, as well as here in Fedora discussion, so if you don’t mind I will copy here my last comments, jus to keep people informed:

<<
I was using amule since long time ago with an architecture of client/server, so I have a server with the amuled running (this is a F43), and at the client side I had amulegui running (in a F44) and now the amulegui package has disappeared in F44 and only remains the package amule (for local use) in version 3.0.1.

According to their documentation:

https://amule-org.github.io/docs/manual/interfaces/gui

They are mantaining amulegui.

At the moment I have not tested this version of amuleapi, wich means that I need somehow to update my server from F43 to F44, in the current version of amule in F43 (I think it is 2.3.3) the amuleweb is very poor compared to amulegui. But I will try this server update just to see if it is enough to manage the server (according to your comments, amuleapi provides almost the same functionality than the amulegui version).

Nevertheless, if you are going to repackage the amulegui, these are good news, so in the future anyone can decide which approach is more suitable.

By the way, I’ve installed your COPR repository but I’m not able to see the package amule-gui, so I couldn’t test it, unless is still not released…, but as you said is not compatible with amuled 2.3.x.

Again, thanks for your comments, I will be updating with my tests.

Best regards.

Hey Carlos,

I’ve replied to the ticket and also created a F43 build in COPR to assist in testing. If people want additional information, please refer to rhbz#2526406.

Hi Gerald,

I’ve installed a new F44 server with amuled + amuleapi, and I have to tell that amuleapi interface is much better than amuleweb, even more stable, but still not the same functionality than amulegui, specially on settings side, where the gui version allows you to modify every single parameter for amuled, this is not a big issue because it’s possible to modify them in amule.conf file in the server…

I would like to test the new amulegui 3.0.x, but I’m not in a hurry, so I can wait until it is available in the main repository or your COPR repository.

Thanks in advance for your support.
