Comment 23 for bug 248055

Taken from http://gtk-gnutella.sourceforge.net/en/?page=faq#gnet6 :
What does "Outdated version, please upgrade" mean?
Versions of gtk-gnutella more than one year old are banned, since they lack features that are important to the rapidly evolving gnet's health and scalability. In addition, unstable versions are banned after 90 days.

I've found that Debian stable does not include gtk-gnutella precisely for this reason, as expiring software such as this cannot be supported without major version upgrades. Backporting the software appears to be the only option. While I would classify this issue as a severe regression, it cannot be solved by a minimally invasive patch, and is therefore not a candidate for a SRU.

I am marking this bug as Won't Fix against Ubuntu for the reasons discussed above. The backport requests are still open, so the new version should be in backports soon.
