[freenet-support] Source Code Link Problems on Main Download Page
I noticed this problem previously but I never bothered until now to report it. That is, the /download.html page on freenetproject.org has a link to source code that rarely can actually be accessed. The last line of the page links to the source code here: http://freenet.googlecode.com/files/freenet-build01310-source.tar.bz2 and yet it cannot be accessed because it isn't actually there. After some checking I found that build 1306 is the newest version available this way. So, for at least 4 releases this (likely auto-updated) link has been pointing to (a manually updated) file that hasn't been uploaded, resulting in a lot of responses like my initial one: WTC? Why can't I download this!? Are they trying to hide some CIA call-home code?? Whatever people might think, this consistently unavailable link only serves to turn away those who might help improve our code in the future. Now, how do we keep this from happening again? This is a particularly unique problem because, unlike with most projects where the vast majority of normal users only update when major releases come around every couple months/years, our entire user-base must update to the newest code something like once a week. It's easy for everyone else to simply triple-check their links before publishing, but for us it can get quite tiring to do that every week. I don't know what the best solution would be, but I think it's important that we fix this chronic broken-link syndrome. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe

Re: [freenet-support] Source Code Link Problems on Main Download Page
I know that's there (I noted that in my original message). We're currently on build 1310, though, not 1306. The problem isn't that no source code is available; it's that [a] the link on our main website consistently 404's and [b] the most recent source isn't available through the only method noted on the Freenet download page.

[freenet-support] Troubles launching freenet (Arch linux)
Hello, I'm using Arch linux, I installed freenet 0.0.7-1, nut I can't launch it. When I try /etc/rc.d/freenet start, I have Starting freenet daemon [BUSY], but nothing more. I tried to launch /opt/freenet/run.sh, I can access the webpanel, but when it tried to download JSTUN, I have a Permission denied and it also alerts me that it's not using the wrapper. As anyone an idea? Thanks in advance. ___ Support mailing list Support@freenetproject.org http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:support-requ...@freenetproject.org?subject=unsubscribe
