Cooking with Conary

Tonight I had some free time between school and work, so I gave some conary love to some programs. I first upgraded rTorrent to version 0.7.1 this was in much need as the previous version was 0.6.*. If you would like to install rTorrent and run a conary based system, i.e. Foresight 1.0 just run:

UPDATE
sudo conary update --install-label specialk.rpath.org@rpl:devel update rtorrent

I also gave some needed care to Tilda, this is upgraded to 0.9.4. Some new features of this release is a cleaned up preferences screen, desktop file so it gets added to the menu. Here is a screenshot of tilda in action. I am looking for someone running compiz to help test out tilda, if you are interested just let me know in #foresight on freenode or #tilda on oftc. Just look for specialKevin in either channel. As usual if you want to install tilda and you should, just run:

UPDATE
sudo conary update --install-label specialk.rpath.org@rpl:devel update tilda

UPDATE
Sorry for the confuse for anybody trying to install tilda or rtorrent, I fixed the command to install tilda or rtorrent. You need to use the --install-label flag so it uses my repo to grab the dependencies of the main program.
