Hey' Is the following accurate? I've gleaned it from ban.c and version.h. If it looks OK I'll submit a patch for the FAQ.
<h3><a name="gnet5">What does "Harmful version banned, upgrade required" mean?</a></h3> <p> Sometimes, servents are discovered to have a bug or behaviour that is harmful to the gnet. For example, gtk-gnutella-0.92b had a bug that generated excessive queries which hammered on the <a href="index.php?page=gwebcache">GWebCache system</a>. Such banning is exceptional, usually restricted to specific versions, and the servent's author is informed about the banning. Versions of gtk-gnutella more than one year old are also banned, since they lack features that are important to the rapidly evolving gnet's health and scalability. In addition, unstable (cvs) versions are banned after 90 days. If you have one of these archaic versions, you'll see the message: "Outdated version, please upgrade". </p> -- Murphy (eqom14 on irc) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
