Der grafische Gnutella-Client für Unix

gtk-gnutella ist ein Server/Client für Gnutella. Es läuft auf jedem Unix-ähnlichen System sofern GTK+ (1.2 oder neuer) und libxml installiert sind. Die Desktopumgebung GNOME wird nicht benötigt. gtk-gnutella wird derzeit hauptsächlich unter Linux (Debian) sowie NetBSD entwickelt und getestet. Es ist unter Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Darwin, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX (OSF/1), SGI IRIX, BeOS nutzbar; zu den unterstützten CPU-Architekturen gehören unter anderem x86, AMD64, PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS.

gtk-gnutella wird unter der GNU General Public License (GPL) veröffentlicht.

Die Entwicklung von gtk-gnutella ist noch nicht abgeschlossen, aber es ist vollständig nutzbar: Sowohl die Suche als auch das Herunterladen und Anbieten eigener Dateien ist möglich. Es läuft stabil und kann normalerweise tagelang unbeaufsichtigt betrieben werden.

Vorschläge und Kommentare sind auf der gtk-gnutella-devel Mailing-Liste willkommen. Programmfehler sollten möglichst per SourceForge.net Bug Tracker gemeldet werden.

Wer sich an der Entwicklung in C, der Übersetzung oder der Dokumentation beteiligen möchte und etwas Erfahrung mitbringt, ist herzlich willkommen!

• thread_lock_dump(): can now omit details if necessary.
• thread_lock_released(): give more context on problems.
• thread_sig_handle(): add default handling of TSIG_TERM.
