I decided not to package new versions of Armory until the git tags are signed to verify the integrity of the source code (e.g. so GitHub or someone with access to GitHub's servers cannot modify the code). I have filed a bug[0] upstream asking for Goatpig to sign tags. I hope to be able to package 0.94.1 and future versions of Armory soon, but without signed tags, I think it would be irresponsible of me to package financial software. I just filed the bug upstream, so it might be a while before I hear back from Goatpig. [0] - https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory/issues/40 Joseph

Yes, I would say that Goatpig's fork is the most official version of Armory in development currently. He was the defacto maintainer of the open source version of Armory at Armory Technologies up until the company stopped development. I won't be able to get to this myself before the weekend at the earliest (just moved and going to be starting a new job). Patches to package 0.94.1 are welcome from anyone. Just be sure to base the packaging off of the pkg-bitcoin repo[0]. [0] - https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-bitcoin/armory.git/ Cheers, Joseph
Bug#824766: armory: New home for armory and new upstream release
Package: armory Version: 0.92.3-1+b2 Severity: normal As can be read in the links from this issue https://github.com/etotheipi/BitcoinArmory/issues/325 Armory Technologies has stopped working on armory, at least for the time being. As can be read in the linked threads, there is now a fork which seemed to be (somewhat) official, namely https://github.com/goatpig/BitcoinArmory and there have been several releases there, the latest being 0.94.1. Maybe it's a good idea to switch the Debian package to the fork?
