When you created this package gnunet was still in the official repositories. But it had become a problematic package, slowly diverging from the upstream code, and nobody was taking the trouble to have a look at the handbook. So it had a lot of issues and dead code.
Recently I have adopted the package, I have cleaned it as much as I could, and I hope I will be able to keep it up to date.
P.S. I have just created a paragraph in the ArchWiki about the single-user setup.
@grufo great, just to mention, iirc when I made this package I pretty much had to use the handbook and write the PKGBUILD from scratch, i don't recall what was the problem exactly now, but I see that the PKGBUILD are still quite different, so I'm not sure. as long as you tested and it works that's great.
@tleydxdy
the service file is supposed to be run by your user
If all the fuss was about adding a systemd/user service to the package (which is not a bad idea) we can add it to the gnunet package (I just did it).
I guess this package does not make much sense now.
@grufo the service file is supposed to be run by your user, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd/User also this package is intended to follow https://docs.gnunet.org/handbook/gnunet.html#The-Single_002dUser-Setup rather than setting up gnunet as a system service which is on the next section in the handbook
What is the purpose of this package? It is called gnunet-user and the description says “single user config“, but the package ships no configuration whatsoever and gnunet.service launches gnunet-arm -s as root (!) – not as current user – which is something that should be always avoided.
Why should anyone install this package instead of gnunet?
Version 0.15.1 is already out (http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnunet/gnunet-0.15.1.tar.gz), but unfortunately file src/testing/testing_cmds.h is missing and the package does not compile.

compilation terminated.
It should be a matter of hours or, at most, days before they find out. In the meanwhile you can stick to the current version (0.15.0), or use the gnunet-git package, where src/testing/testing_cmds.h is not missing at the moment.

After installing the package do not forget to add your user to the
gnunetgroup, withIf later you want to remove your user from the group, launch:
