thanks, that was useful. i was assuming that someone who was going to try this out, would be familiar with both freenet and debian build infrastructure (i.e. using github), or inclined to read/debug the build script if it fails. this isn't for general user distribution, and i don't think it's worth my time to write detailed documentation right now, since stuff will probably change. in general though, if you want to try building things posted to a dev list, you should brief yourself on the project's build/development tools, to reduce the number of spurious errors you might trigger. anyway, thanks for helping catching the --init problem :) -- GPG: 4096R/5FBBDBCE https://github.com/infinity0 https://bitbucket.org/infinity0 https://launchpad.net/~infinity0 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
