Re: GNUnet-jour-fixe: Debian/DPKG

[Christian Grothoff]

Hi!

I'm glade to hear 0.13.1 has been packaged. Does this include the
improvements for GNS that had been discussed (NSS integration, CA setup,
etc.)?

Also, thanks Bertrand for maintaining the GNUnet package for so long. It
would be great if some DD (or someone with DD aspirations) from the list
would be willing to take over, especially if they already worked on the
package...

Happy hacking!

Christian
