hmm, except the watch file is just watching the github repository, it should be watching sourceforge

Sorry for that, i can't use sourceforge why my sources tree files are different, i will like use the gavinandresen github repository, but that repository don't have tags, uscan need use tags from git repository to know last version of source code.

If you can test change the watch file to sourceforge, and force "uscan" to update the source file, please tell me what happen Wink

AFAIK there is currently no way to create a amd64 package on i386 architecture.

Gcc can do it, but don't work for me

Jonas Smedegaard <[email protected]> maintainer of official debian package built bitcoin-cli, which does the same thing as your bitcoin-daemon. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578157#77 He is currently exploring the possibility of assembling a package libdb4.8++ (See also topic https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/needed-calling-db48-testers-2667). In his package no mans no examples, so I think you should contact Jonas Smedegaard and to merge in order to prevent the execution of double work.

Thanks, but my package is one alternative to debian package, this is my TODO to bitcoind:

Add init script
use "/var" to save wallet file how root (optional)
use "/var/log" to save debug.log file (optional)

If someone have ideas or suggestions, please tell me.
In this moment lenny-backport (bitcoind) use "libdb4.8".

Just installed added the launchpad repository to my 10.10 Ubuntu Maverick install and had the bitcoin-minerd package installed and generating in under 10 minutes.

Thanks for putting this together tuxsoul, you're making it much easier for people to get involved with bitcoin.

That is great, if something is wrong in my repository or debian/ubuntu packaging please tell me. Grin

I am added to source.list texsoul.com repo:

$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bitcoin.list
deb http://deb.tuxsoul.com lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.tuxsoul.com lenny main contrib non-free

# aptitude update

but if I trying to search bitcoin I see only one package:

# apt-cache search bitcoin
bitcoin-cpuminer - Multi-threaded CPU miner for bitcoin

What I do wrong?

I just committed examples and man pages to the debian package. Writing man pages is super boring!

I agree that working together makes sense!

Have you considered working on the official debian package? Its maintained in the collab-maint project (http://wiki.debian.org/CollaborativeMaintenance) which would make it easy for you to participate and put your improvements in those packages, and get a much wider audience!

I try using cross compile to get amd64 packages, but don't work, i need one computer where i can run for amd64 apps, i'm working to buy one.

AFAIK there is currently no way to create a amd64 package on i386 architecture.
If you have serious problems with the amd64 machine, maybe I can do ssh-access to the one for you. But this possibly not be soon.

I use this lines for his repo:

Code:

deb http://debian.jones.dk/ testing freedombox
deb-src http://debian.jones.dk/ testing freedombox
deb http://debian.jones.dk/ unstable freedombox
deb-src http://debian.jones.dk/ unstable freedombox

I read your man pages and have some thoughts:
In bitcoind.1.gz section EXAMPLE:

Code:

Now run:

   $ ./bitcoind
   bitcoin server starting
   $ ./bitcoind help

   A list of RPC calls will be shown:

   $ ./bitcoind getbalance
   2000.00000

I think you want to remove. "./" at the beginning of commands, as they run from /usr/bin. ("$ ./bitcoind" --> "$ bitcoind").

In COMMAND sections need add brackets to some parameters. Like: "backupwallet destination" --> "backupwallet " and "getbalance account" --> "getbalance [account]".
Also:
"getbalance" have optional parameter "[minconf=1]";
"setgenerate" lost "" parameter description. Like: " is true or false to turn generation on or off";

In bitcoin.conf.5.gz i think better move sections HISTORY and RESOURCES to bitcoind.1.gz and leave only "SEE ALSO bitcoind(1)".

yesterday, I also created two .deb packages of Bitcoin 0.3.19 (i386 | amd64)

Good job!
(I don't test, want wait for official debian package, that already developing: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578157 )

Quote from: ?? on ??

Does the minerd application only use my CPU, if it's not needed or is it always mining?

It just start with hardcoded niceness "19" (lower priority):
cpu-miner.c

Code:

/* set our priority to the highest (aka "nicest, least intrusive") */
if (setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 0, 19))
perror("setpriority");

So the answer is "yes" on both sides of the issue. :^)

I think short-description already good, only dont need "This is" in begining: "Multi-threaded CPU miner for bitcoin".

For long description may be some like this:

Quote

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency. Peer-to-peer (P2P) means that there is no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions. Instead, these tasks are managed collectively by the nodes of the network. More information about bitcoin: http://http://www.bitcoin.org

This package contain miner that contribute your idle CPU time to the bitcoin network and may generate some coins for you.
This miner works on CPU and communicates with bitcoin or bitcoind via JSON-RPC interface.
Miner have few sha256 implementation:
* Linux kernel sha256, implemented in C
* tcatm's 4-way SSE2 implementation
* VIA padlock implementation (EXPERIMENTAL)
* Crypto++ library implementation (EXPERIMENTAL)

This compiled from bitcoin.org site and bitcoin-cpuminer man.

About add keys:
On your site write:

Code:

$ gpg --armor --export 0x287111EE | apt-key add -

I think must be:

Code:

$ gpg --armor --export 0x287111EE | sudo apt-key add -

And when refresh keys on "gpg: requesting key 287111EE from hkp server keys.gnupg.net" i sometime get key-server error.
