My
last
bitcoin related blog post mentioned that the new
bitcoin package for
Debian was waiting in NEW. It was accepted by the Debian ftp-masters
2013-01-19, and have been available in unstable since then. It was
automatically copied to Ubuntu, and is available in their Raring
version too.
But there is a strange problem with the build that block this new
version from being available on the i386 and kfreebsd-i386
architectures. For some strange reason, the autobuilders in Debian
for these architectures fail to run the test suite on these
architectures (BTS #672524).
We are so far unable to reproduce it when building it manually, and
no-one have been able to propose a fix. If you got an idea what is
failing, please let us know via the BTS.
One feature that is annoying me with of the bitcoin client, because
I often run low on disk space, is the fact that the client will exit
if it run short on space (BTS
#696715). So make sure you have enough disk space when you run
it. :)
As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
