Re: GNUnet-jour-fixe: Debian/DPKG

[dvn]

Nice work Marcos, Bertrand, Rexxnor, et al.

The package is in Debian testing now:

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/gnunet

Noticed that when I installed the package in a fresh environment dpkg gave
a warning about the home dir of the _gnunet user not being owned by this
user. Not sure if that was intended. Everything appears to work fine,
from my small test, regardless...
