I have noticed that 0.8.3 hasn't been released on the PPA for Lucid (10.04), which I am still using.

I know it's been a few weeks since Ubuntu stopped supporting 10.04 with updates, but I was hoping that my Bitcoin wallet software wouldn't be left out in the cold quite so soon!

And before anyone says it, I don't want to do a network upgrade to 12.04, I would rather do a clean installation, but I've got nowhere to store my 100GB+ of data while I am doing it, so I am putting off upgrading as long as I possibly can.

Please reconsider releasing 0.8.3 on the PPA for Lucid.

750gb drives are pretty cheap. 100gb isnt much data. 320gb drives are cheap too. all under $50.

My understanding is that the "sendmany" command will only accept transactions of a certain minimal amount to mitigate the risk of spamming the network.
I had the "Too small amount" error on amounts like 0.00001 BTC.
What is the actual limit in this new version?

I don't care what other people say the Dev team rocks! wow so many cool features in Bitcoin, I bet you all the unfinished code has to be reviewed, probably finalized sooner or later.

But damn good job.

Why not just download and replace the binary?
OK, I've replaced the files  bitcoind and bitcoin-qt which were in /usr/bin with the new 0.8.3 versions, and it works.

Thanks for your advice, I should have known that the solution was that simple.
So it turned out I was getting a bit panicky for nothing!

I still think that 10.04  should be supported in the PPA  for a while longer.
