building
--------
Steps:
+clone the repo; cd functorrent;
+
1. cabal sandbox init
-2. cabal install --only-dependencies
-3. cabal build # binaries in ./dist/built/functorrent/*
+2. wget http://www.stackage.org/lts/cabal.config
+3. cabal install --only-dependencies --enable-tests
+4. cabal build # binaries in ./dist/built/functorrent/*
Goals
-----
- Become more profient with Haskell.
- Implement something non-trivial with Haskell (crypto, file operations, network
operations, concurrency, bit twiddling, DHT).
-- Follow the spec. (<https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification>)
+- Follow the spec - https://wiki.theory.org/BitTorrentSpecification
- Easy for newbies like me to read and understand along side the spec.
- doctest and quickcheck tests.
-- Follow Haskell Style Guide (<https://github.com/tibbe/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/haskell-style.md>)
+- Follow Haskell Style Guide - https://github.com/tibbe/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/haskell-style.md
-Status
-------
+Current Status
+--------------
-- decode torrent files (bencoding)
+- can decode torrent files (bencoding)
- talk to the tracker and get the peer list
+- the `main' program takes a torrent file (in the local file system) as input and
+ prints the {ip,port} for each peer, after talking to the tracker.
TODO
----
+- Test suite.
- Peer protocol.
- Get the file download working in the simplest possible way.
- Concurrency (threads per peer)
- other advanced features of Bit Torrent (like DHT).
