  24       <div class="date">25th December 2012</div>
  25       <div class="body"><p>Let me start by wishing you all marry Christmas and a happy new
  26 year!  I hope next year will prove to be a good year.</p>
  27
  28 <p><a href="http://www.bitcoin.org/">Bitcoin</a>, the digital
  29 decentralised "currency" that allow people to transfer bitcoins
  30 between each other with minimal overhead, is a very interesting
  31 experiment.  And as I wrote a few days ago, the bitcoin situation in
  32 <a href="http://www.debian.org/">Debian</a> is about to improve a bit.
  33 The <a href="http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin">new debian source
  34 package</a> (version 0.7.2-2) was uploaded yesterday, and is waiting
  35 in <a href="http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html">the NEW queue</A>
  36 for one of the ftpmasters to approve the new bitcoin-qt package
  37 name.</p>
  38
  39 <p>And thanks to the great work of Jonas and the rest of the bitcoin
  40 team in Debian, you can easily test the package in Debian Squeeze
  41 using the following steps to get a set of working packages:</p>
  42
  43 <blockquote><pre>
  44 git clone git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/bitcoin
  45 cd bitcoin
  46 DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp fakeroot debian/rules clean
  47 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new
  48 </pre></blockquote>
  49
  50 <p>You might have to install some build dependencies as well.  The
  51 list of commands should give you two packages, bitcoind and
  52 bitcoin-qt, ready for use in a Squeeze environment.  Note that the
  53 client will download the complete set of bitcoin "blocks", which need
  54 around 5.6 GiB of data on my machine at the moment.  Make sure your
  55 ~/.bitcoin/ directory have lots of spare room if you want to download
  56 all the blocks.  The client will warn if the disk is getting full, so
  57 there is not really a problem if you got too little room, but you will
  58 not be able to get all the features out of the client.</p>
  59
  60 <p>As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
  61 activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
