These warnings are not quite correct. There's no system-wide whitelist or spam.txt. So in this case the warings refer to the private files in ~/.gtk-gnutella. > Does "make install" really install these files where gtk-gnutella > expects them?

Either the warnings should be corrected (or just suppressed) or gtk-gnutella should create empty files to get rid of these warnings. These warnings are not really bad because you might have removed these files accidently or whatever and in this case the warning would really help. > The spam.txt doesn't seem to be installed at all.

Perhaps it will be completely removed. There are also some "ethic" reasons for not installing it by default. This is effectively a "newspeak" filter. Whatever is listed there won't exist on Gnutella. At the moment, it lists only what qualifies as spam and virus infected files. However, if someone holds a gun to the head of anyone with SVN write-access it may list much more files. I wasn't really sure whether I should add this file to the repository at all. It's also quite big already which means it will be put elsewhere when it becomes too large. I guess we both know what is going to happen the server(s) which host(s) this file then, right? -- Christian
