+		<description>&lt;p&gt;Let me start by wishing you all marry Christmas and a happy new
+year!  I hope next year will prove to be a good year.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitcoin.org/&quot;&gt;Bitcoin&lt;/a&gt;, the digital
+decentralised &quot;currency&quot; that allow people to transfer bitcoins
+between each other with minimal overhead, is a very interesting
+experiment.  And as I wrote a few days ago, the bitcoin situation in
+&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.debian.org/&quot;&gt;Debian&lt;/a&gt; is about to improve a bit.
+The &lt;a href=&quot;http://packages.qa.debian.org/bitcoin&quot;&gt;new debian source
+package&lt;/a&gt; (version 0.7.2-2) was uploaded yesterday, and is waiting
+in &lt;a href=&quot;ftp-master.debian.org/new.html&quot;&gt;the NEW queue&lt;/A&gt; for one
+of the ftpmasters to approve the new bitcoin-qt package name.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;And thanks to the great work of Jonas and the rest of the bitcoin
+team in Debian, you can easily test the package in Debian Squeeze
+using the following steps to get a set of working packages:&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;
+git clone git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/bitcoin
+cd bitcoin
+DEB_MAINTAINER_MODE=1 DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp fakeroot debian/rules clean
+DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=noupnp git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new
+&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;You might have to install some build dependencies as well.  The
+list of commands should give you two packages, bitcoind and
+bitcoin-qt, ready for use in a Squeeze environment.  Note that the
+client will download the complete set of bitcoin &quot;blocks&quot;, which need
+around 5.6 GiB of data on my machine at the moment.  Make sure your
+~/.bitcoin/ directory have lots of spare room if you want to download
+all the blocks.  The client will warn if the disk is getting full, so
+there is not really a problem if you got too little room, but you will
+not be able to get all the features out of the client.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;As usual, if you use bitcoin and want to show your support of my
+activities, please send Bitcoin donations to my address
+&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;bitcoin:15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&amp;label=PetterReinholdtsenBlog&quot;&gt;15oWEoG9dUPovwmUL9KWAnYRtNJEkP1u1b&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
