RE: [GNUnet-developers] Re: [Help-gnunet] trouble with cvs

[jan marco alkema]

Hello Glenn, Igor, Christian, Marado,

>Speaking of problems, the 'waiting almost forever for the last few kb'
seems to persist. This single problem is enough to make current gnunet look
pretty bad. The efficiency modifications some time back seem the most likely
suspect to me.

I agree with you. See appendix A for my speed "result" of 0.028 kilobyte per
second ----(

>A typical gnunet release has a couple of problems more often than not, so I
don't wonder people going for the cvs version. If the CVS is public, as it
should be, the natural conclusion is that the more advanced ppl will try it
out, even though they weren't living on the edge otherwise.

I not agree with you. In (near by) future all projects will continues
updates the project source code in time. All computers with the project
programs will automatically get the last source code. The moderator of a
project decides what status the specific sources has. If a significant bug
is in the source code he can decide to roll it automatically back to a
previous release.

>Furthermore, what if GNUnet has dependences on tools that aren't in a final
release yet? GNUnet isn't either!

See dependences in Appendix B. A sample CVS compile/start up code in
Appendix C.

Currently I am very busy in learning MVC++. I find it not simple if you
haven't experiences with Visual basic before.

Greetings Jan Marco
