Well, that’s why I’m asking as I don’t have time to investigate the reasons for the suggested changes myself. I know what “bluez” and “libogg” do, but it’s a bit odd to have them as dependencies of GNUnet. GNUnet doesn’t encode/decode ogg audio files, does it? > If you think comments are needed because someone in the future could > decide to cut down the "bloat", I can comment all the dependencies with > which part of GNUnet needs them. Commenting unusual inputs should be enough. ~~ Ricardo
