Hi Diagon, Thanks for the constructive feedback. I've been trying to get people to put installation instructions into doc/documentation/chapters/installation.texi and -only- there, but despite this being easily editable by anyone involved, some developers keep throwing up instructions in all kinds of places (like the github repo Sva pointed you to, encouraging the use of non-free SaaS on top of it!). I'm not sure what to do about this, as obviously asking people to keep the documentation in one place or even just in one format is not working. Anyway, the goal is that from installation.texi we will *generate* a Web page (HTML, PDF), making the instructions easy to read even without having built the documentation. You can find a _prototype_ of the new Web page at https://stage.gnunet.org/. Once the (complex) migration is complete, we'll make 'stage' the new main site. Sadly, there is quite a bit to migrate (bug tracker, IRC logger, bibliography, continuous integration, etc.), and the only person who's recently been working on this is ng0 (thanks, ng0!). Now, to answer some of your questions: > Also, he had libcurl4-gnutls-dev. Is that a replacement for > libgnurl? Yes, if available, it can be used as an alternative. > He has no optional packages either, but included a few not > mentioned in that README: zlib1g-dev This is for compression.

Optional, for UPnP-support, a protocol to tell your NAT to open external ports. I hope this helps a bit where we are and where I hope to go! As usual, help would be welcome. Happy hacking! Christian
