Guys,
What do you say, do you feel this is a relevant port?
Sorry for not being able to do this myself -
If you need any extra clear feedback or instructions from me for how
to
actually build it, so that you can get the port together, I will be
happy to guide you, if so let me know.
What made me not be able to make an update of the port complete
myself,
was some weird aspect of how the filenaming works out in the ports
system and I cannot dig that deep into the system now.
Maybe, I could document exactly what I do when I try to upgrade the
openbsd-wip bitcoind port, and paste the exact error I get here, and
you
could tell me how to fix it - and we can get the updated BitcoinD port
into OpenBSD that way,
What do you say?
