Setup
Installation
A vague attempt to build just the bitcoind Debian package from patched 0.8.5 git. Opted in the end just to build bitcoind and install manually.
# clone and create local branch
git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
git checkout v0.8.5
git checkout -b v0.8.5-gnome
# debianize using debian dir from 0.8.5 package
cp -a ../debian-0.8.5/debian ./
git add debian
git commit -m "debianize"
# wheezify
cat >> debian/changelog <<END
bitcoin (0.8.0-wheezy1) wheezy; urgency=low
* Mark for wheezy.

Issues
How do I determine if the blockchain sync is complete? :
How do I set up a light-weight UI to connect securely to bitcoind? :
How do I build just the bitcoind package? : Perhaps just stick to git for now.
