GNUnet has the ability to create an adhoc meshnetwork over bluetooth if I remember correctly. I'll ask christian again, I never used this part. greping gets you this: ABOUT-NLS:157: bluez-pin | [] [] | ABOUT-NLS:341: bluez-pin | [] [] [] [] [] [] | ABOUT-NLS:525: bluez-pin | [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] | ABOUT-NLS:709: bluez-pin | [] [] [] [] [] | ABOUT-NLS:893: bluez-pin | [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] | ABOUT-NLS:1077: bluez-pin | [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] | 37 src/transport/gnunet-helper-transport-bluetooth.c:100: * In bluez library, the maximum name length of a device is 8 Which is why I have to ask about this. > > GNUnet doesn’t encode/decode ogg audio files, does it? It has this telephony feature (gnunet-conversation, despite the README it no longer is experimental) and gnunet-helper-audio-record-gst references ogg. src/conversation/gnunet-helper-audio-record.c:41:#include <ogg/ogg.h> configure.ac:424:# libogg configure.ac:425:AC_CHECK_LIB(ogg, ogg_stream_flush_fill, configure.ac:426: [AC_CHECK_HEADERS([ogg/ogg.h], configure.ac:428: ogg=1 configure.ac:429: AC_DEFINE(HAVE_OGG,1,[Have ogg]), configure.ac:431: ogg=0 configure.ac:432: AC_DEFINE(HAVE_OGG,0,[lacking ogg]))], configure.ac:434: ogg=0) >> If you think comments are needed because someone in the future could >> decide to cut down the "bloat", I can comment all the dependencies with >> which part of GNUnet needs them. > > Commenting unusual inputs should be enough. > > ~~ Ricardo > > -- ng0
