I see nothing arbitrary in tested SVN commit numbers, but I get your point. > As a distro, our job is not to choose the commit that will give users “a > good experience”; this is upstream’s job. I am more involved with talking, providing ideas to subprojects and changing public appearance etc and not with coding so much, so I leave that to people more involved in GNUnet coding. > IOW, we must tweak Christian et al. into making a new release. :-) Which should be clear from the threads I mentioned which contain the longer explanations, that it is a matter of some bugfixes. Anyone reading this thread and feeling comfortable with hacking on GNUnet and fixing the bug would be very welcome. > Now, it’s not the end of the world if we provide a development snapshot > of GNUnet, and it’s a win if people find it useful.

Of course, I don't see this as a regular way of working around issues, but it's an issue I want to work around this way. > Does that make sense? > > Ludo’. thanks, -- ng personal contact: http://krosos.sdf.org EDN: https://wiki.c3d2.de/EDN
