It is also possible to use Launchpad for Mac/Windows software (e.g. this project is Win-Only: https://launchpad.net/lilregcleaner)

... but Launchpad won't build (run the compiler on one of their machines) Mac/Windows software, or did I miss that feature when I looked at the website?

Very nice!  Let me ask some dumb questions:

I've setup a launchpad PPA to host Ubuntu packages of bitcoin.

What does PPA stand for?

Does launchpad help solve the 'trusted build' problem-- e.g. does the build process automatically fetch from source code that we can all look at and audit?

How hard would it be to setup something similar to produce regular builds of the github integration repository?

Right now, the bitcoin build process is "Satoshi does it."  Using Launchpad to create the Linux builds seems like the right way to go.

Last dumb question:  are there services similar to Launchpad for building Mac/Windows software?

+1 another reason to remove the wxWidgets code from Bitcoin and allow others to make their own.

Hello,

I've setup a launchpad PPA to host Ubuntu packages of bitcoin.  Version 0.3.19 is up now with builds for maverick and lucid.  I've tested the Maverick build and it runs ok for me, I don't have a machine around to test Lucid.

The PPA is hosted at https://launchpad.net/~stretch/+archive/bitcoin

To install on Ubuntu:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:stretch/bitcoin
sudo apt-get install bitcoin

then to run
bitcoin or bitcoind - both are in /usr/bin

If this works/doesn't work for anyone please let me know.

thanks!
