MuWire stalled?

Post by LowPrio »

Hi,

I saw "MuWire resurrected" on the I2P Forum (http://i2pforum.i2p/viewtopic.php?t=1280) and lgillis latest post here, both from 2024. Unfortunately, I cannot compile muwire from git any longer in 2025. It seems that some git repository or gradle requirements are not met. I am glad to report that the latest binary package from git (MuWire-0.8.14-beta2) still works here.

For the future of this great project I hope that it is possible to update the build process, and if I dare to wish the MuWire code itself.

BTW Thanks to the MuWire developer!

Cheers

The creator zlatinb briefly returned and just as quickly vanished again. He was the sole coder and no one else picked up after him. I put together a working, portable version with an updatable I2P node for Windows on my site(http://freefallheavens.i2p/) and that was all I could do. But do be aware that the dev is gone with whereabouts unknown and no return estimate nor other coders on the team. Meanwhile a community of file sharers still exists thanks to the decentralized nature of the app. Feel free to add your node to the network.
