Package: bitcoind
Version: 0.5.1-2
Severity: wishlist
Currently bitcoind uses the ~/.bitcoin/ directory to store two
different types of file:
* small, personal files which need to be kept safe and
backed-up etc.: wallet.dat, bitcoin.conf
* large files which can be recreated (redownloaded from the P2P
network) if lost: the block database, i.e. blkindex.dat, blkxxxx.dat
and related files
It would be nice if it were possible to store these two groups of
files in two separate directories, i.e. keep wallet.dat and
bitcoin.conf in ~/.bitcoin/, and move the second group to a different
directory. This would make it easier to do things like keeping the
wallet file on an encrypted filesystem, excluding the block database
from backups, etc.
If I understand correctly, the second group of files are effectively
cache files, insomuch as they can be recreated if lost; thus it might
be best to put them in a suitable system directory such as a
subdirectory of $XDG_CACHE_HOME (i.e. ~/.cache/ by default) or a
user-owned directory in /var/tmp/ (which is user-writable on Debian).
