not oficial debian/ubuntu namecoin apps packages ...

Post by tuxsoul »

Hi,

I created a debian/ubuntu package for namecoin.

Repository (vinced):
* I have checked the git repository (vinced), but tags are from bitcoin not of namecoin, if you check one tag (any), you will see the bitcoin code only.
* If possible get tags for namecoin only, to know the code of each release ?

I need one short and one full description for my package, can somebody suggest me one.

After this, i can try submit this package to "debian mentors" and "ubuntu motu".

You can support this work sending namecoins :-):

Indeed, vince should tag this commit as v0.3.21.90

Code: Select all

-static const int VERSION = 32151;
+static const int VERSION = 32190;
Signed tag with "-s" (vince, if you read that :p) :

Code: Select all

git tag -s v0.3.21.90 e28d4fdcec5bed36b74bfb928676c65194c8b27f
He is currently working on the merge with the reorganised bitcoin trunk.


For the title/description, here are some existing stuffs :
A decentralized, open DNS system based on the bitcoin technology!
and :
http://dot-bit.org/About

But, it's difficult to say if we should describe namecoin or namecoin's usages (dns and other future things) or both ?

What does the bitcoin title/description say in the Ubuntu package at present?

We could just say something similar but add the additional parts that namecoin achieves ... decentralised, secure-hashed, blockchain database for {name::IP pairs} and other field-conforming data ....

Description: Bitcoin P2P Virtual Currency
 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.
 Advantages:
 * Bitcoins can be sent easily through the Internet, without having to trust
 middlemen.
 * Transactions are designed to be irreversible.
 * Be safe from instability caused by fractional reserve banking and central
 banks. The limited inflation of the Bitcoin system’s money supply is
 distributed evenly (by CPU power) throughout the network, not monopolized by
 banks.
 Bitcoin is an open source project currently in beta development stage.
 Development is hosted at SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/bitcoin/)
