--- Begin Message ---Source: bitcoin Severity: wishlist Okay okay... maybe i'm a bit over-enthusiastic about this, but it seems that the 0.8.0 tag has been pushed to github. I was able to compile the Debian package with minimal changes. One patch needs to be dropped (1004_conservative_qt-dbus.patch), and otherwise there doesn't seem to be significant changes for the package to build. But I may be missing something. (e.g. maybe the patch wasn't factored in upstream and instead just needs to be ported again.) Anyways, I see numerous improvements over 0.7: 1. bootstrap can be resumed, even when looking at a -loadblock 2. the daemon is much more responsive (control-c works within a second instead of taking a random amount of time) 3. data is committed to the database in regular bigger chunks instead of in zillions of small increments (which was killing performance badly for huge block imports) 4. i can almost feel like I can bootstrap now (yay.) (Sorry for the sarcasm, but I've been banging my head on this sucker for the last 48 hours and i want to fix it. :P) It is unclear to me whether the upgrade is transparent for users, as I don't have a working setup to work with, but here it seems to migrated fairly well. I open this issue in a spirit of collaboration, to document the work I have done here to upgrade to 0.8, not to request others to do the work for me. :) Thanks for the package, A. -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fr_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_CA.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
