# Setup

## Installation

A vague attempt to build just the bitcoind Debian package from patched 0.8.5 git. Opted in the end just to build bitcoind and install manually.

# clone and create local branch
    git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
    git checkout v0.8.5
    git checkout -b v0.8.5-gnome
    # debianize using debian dir from 0.8.5 package
    cp -a ../debian-0.8.5/debian ./
    git add debian
    git commit -m "debianize"
    # wheezify
    cat >> debian/changelog <<END
    bitcoin (0.8.0-wheezy1) wheezy; urgency=low
    
      * Mark for wheezy.

## Running

bitcoind &
    # status
    bitcoind getinfo

## Issues

How do I determine if the blockchain sync is complete?
:

How do I set up a light-weight UI to connect securely to bitcoind?
:

How do I build just the bitcoind package?
:   Perhaps just stick to git for now.
