gtk-gnutella first looks at the standard environment variable $HOME. If this
variable is not set (which should never be the case on any Unix-like system),
it falls-back to getpwuid() which will look at /etc/passwd. If that fails as
well, it uses some GLib function to determine the home directory.
You don't wait for Debian to catch up, just build the newest version yourself.

The reason it's not in Etch is given here:

I don't know why
I don't think Debian will ever update Gtk-Gnutella. It is not in Etch at all.
The version in Debian is an outdated SVN snapshot with known bugs. You're
already two releases behind. The newest version 0.96.3 and 0.96.4 will be
released soon. The best option is to compile Gtk-Gnutella yourself whic
This is supposed to be fixed in a portable manner in 0.96.3 now.

Thanks. I have applied your patch for the po/de.po file. The
changes will be present in the next release (0.96.1).

Since 0.95.4 or so Gtk-Gnutella locks the PID file through fcntl()
if possible. NFS should not be a problem but some exotic filesystems
may not support such locking. Howeve

The version in current CVS does now ensure that the metadata column
is visible and has a minimum size. Thus, it will be fixed in the next
release (0.95.5 or 0.96).

Hi,
it would be irresponsible to implement such a feature as long
as Gnutella works as of yet. Such automagic searches would have
a huge impact on the network resources. Furthermore, LimeWire
has stopped routing searches by urn:sha1 a while ago, which means
this feature would be of little use. It

Hi,
there's no default sorting at all. The results are implicitely
arranged in the order they arrive and grouped by checksum. I
don't think sorting by number of sources by default is really a
good idea because in many cases these results are actually spam.
This counter shouldn't be confused with a

thanks for your fixes. I have applied them to current CVS. As you

this was a Debian-specific bug caused by an incomplete fix for a

longer. This bug should therefore be closed.
