O.K.
To put pull #2121 into 0.8.1 is very difficult.

I found a much better solution!

Way better than to fork the original client.

I'm able to get 0.8 bitcoind running on my Debian server (with make/compile).

Now I would like to add the importaddress function to my bitcoind (pull #2121).
I was able to (instead of 0.8 ) get the https://github.com/CodeShark/bitcoin/tree/importaddress up and running.
This only the 0.7.99 version, not the current one.

How can I get the new client (0.8 ) with importaddress up and running?

Is it the best and fastest way to fork bitcoin/bitcoin and execute the pull #2121?
Or is it better to fork the 'importaddress' branch from CodeShark/bitcoin and update it to 0.8 ?

And what are the steps/(git)commands to make this work?

Kind regards
