This should fix the problem we Ricardo reported to gnunet-devel
in [GNUNET-developers] gnunet-gtk segfaults and other issues or
at least fix part of the problem.

It should add a reference to GNUnet to our gnunet-gtk
(--with-gnunet= ...), but still does not fix:
"checking for Glade core... --with-glade not specified"

Re: [PATCH] gnunet-gtk: adds --with-gnunet to configure-flags

[Nils Gillmann]

Following later this week:

gnunet + gnunet-gtk SVN, co-authored work with Jookia.

I'll ask on gnunet-dev about this, but it might be that we have
to decide wether to default to some svn of gnunet, as 0.10.1 is
really old. Stable, but old.. Which possibly could affect the
experience for people who try to use gnunet now, before any
applications like secushare are running on it. plus you need -svn
if you want to hack on or testrun application which develop on
top of / inside gnunet.

Guix should provide a stable experience, but if stable means too
old to deliver a useable experience of an still in development
network, what do we suggest? I would not replace gnunet and
gnunet-gtk, I would just make gnunet-svn the default (gnunet will
default to gnunet-svn) and gnunet-0.10.1 will have to be
installed explicitly.
There are only a few open bugs until the next GNUnet release will
be done, but 0.10.1 is just terribly old.

what do you think?

To add on this, the network and executables as of SVN are incompatible with the
network as of v0.10.1. This may be a barrier to compatibility.

The reply to my bug report said something similar.  If version 0.10.1 is
so old that upstream suggest taking the latest from SVN I suppose we
should do this too.

I do hope there will be a new release soon, though, as I don’t like to
use some arbitrary SVN checkout.

Me neither.
Jookia send me a package definition to work on, I already have
some work from back on gentoo to look at, so it's just a matter
of finding time now.
I might get it done any time between tomorrow and after/during
the weekend at logan CIJ symposium, working on that gnunet
change.

From the looks of gnunet bugtracker, there are 4 open bugs I
think which are essential for cg to push for a new tarball
release. But, gnunet is a large mountain of code and I prefer the
smaller mountains of code and discussion I am involved in
somewhere inside the mountain. If someone is capable of fixing
gnunet bugs, https://gnunet.org/bugs/roadmap_page.php is the
place to go.

thanks,

I would argue that if upstream cannot be bothered to make a stable release
every once in a while, this is not our business, unless there are dependent
packages that stop working.

On the other hand, as I fear that the number of users of the current gnunet 
is very limited, it probably does not hurt to update it with the version
number 0.10.1-1-xxx for some svn checkout xxx.

I am currently working on it, see also my latest Email to
guix-devel including the whys and tl;drs.

Just to chime in, I think it's 'right' to package the 'stable' version by
default since from what I know that's the version Debian and other distros like
Parabola use by default. To have a version that by default breaks compatibility
would be sad.

Jookia.
