[GNUnet-developers] gnunet-setup (was: gnunet with embedded mysql?)

Hi,

I haven't worked on it for some time, but it is still on my todo list.

Yes, that's right.

> Is  the plan to further improve gnunet-setup?

Yes. There's a problem with saving default values at the moment.
After that more frontends need to be added.

We'd have to use some XML library to process it. That means more 
dependencies, which we try to avoid.

Apache products already use it, so we wouldn't be the only ones...

A graphical frontend with help texts would be "trivial" ;-)
