Namecoin Forum

ps : for people interested in using the deb package, note that the directory of the wallet is /var/namecoind, so you need to copy your wallet here.

I forked vinceds tree and have added debian/rules to the src directory. With this definitions you are now able to use dpkg-buildpackage in order to build an Ubuntu package.
