I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for -- each of the GNUnet command-line tools ships with a man-page, which is the typical way for how one documents a console-only environment IMO. So I really am not sure what kind of docs are missing for you (OK, maybe TeXinfo would be more GNU-ish ;-)).

Good point. So if you wanted to use the VPN or enable GNS via DNS traffic interception using iptables, you'll need to have a sandbox that is capable of giving the sandboxed process still rather broad capabilities over the host OS so that it can do the required network operations (like intercepting

Sure, sandboxing can help. We hoped to do this by shipping Apparmor profiles (open bug report: https://gnunet.org/bugs/view.php?id=2004, help writing profiles would be very welcome), but Firejail is certainly another possibility. One could even combine the two, using Apparmor to restrict GNUnet se

For the first warning, looks like your system was somehow receiving traffic via an IPv6 address that your configuration does not specify. Maybe your NAT even supports IPv6? I don't think we ever tested with IPv6-NAT, and the config likely doesn't even have an option for that. For the second warni

That is odd, gnunet-gtk's configure should not have passed in this case. Still, did you give --with-gnunet=SOMEDIRHERE to configure of gnunet-gtk? Somehow configure must have found 'libgnunetutil', but now later the compiler fails to find it, which I'm not sure I can explain. Matthias, as you tri

So yes, it is possible that 0.9.5a is already defunct, as SVN HEAD broke compatibility. Oh ok. Is there any release planned soon? Is svn trunk having major changes nowadays, or stabilising? Hard to say, that depends on the subsystem you're looking at. Still, the one big major change is that
