Good.  There is a official packaging in progress for debian :  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578157

But it's progressing very slowly.  Hopefully you could help.

yeah that's what I thought.

You have a pb with your repository.  Anyway it's not related to bitcoin at all.

I think problem with repo files or some ACL's on Tuxsoul server. Maybe information about this error useful for him.

P.S.
You think is offtopic?

Oh sorry I hadn't pay enough attention.  Indeed deb.tuxsoul.com is the repo from the author of the first post of this thread.  My bad.

My mistake too. I should express the thought more precisely... :^)

Hi,

Thank's @adv, can you test again ?, i think this is fixed .

source.list

Code:

Debian Lenny:

deb http://deb.tuxsoul.com lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.tuxsoul.com lenny main contrib non-free 

Sorry my english is bad.
Greeting's.

Debian Lenny:

deb http://deb.tuxsoul.com lenny main contrib non-free
deb-src http://deb.tuxsoul.com lenny main contrib non-free 

Great! Its works.
I get "lenny" and "etch" lists and package bitcoin-cpuminer 0.2.1-1+lenny1.
Thank for your job! :^)

"Squeeze" and "sid" is not created yet? Repos for arch amd64? Its planned?

I think is a good idea -- add symlinks "stable" to "lenny" tree, and "testing->squeeze", "unstable->sid". Its useful sometime. But remember: that symlinks must be renewed when Debian change releases.

About add keys:
On your site write:

Code:

$ gpg --armor --export 0x287111EE | apt-key add -

I think must be:

Code:

$ gpg --armor --export 0x287111EE | sudo apt-key add -

And when refresh keys on "gpg: requesting key 287111EE from hkp server keys.gnupg.net" i sometime get key-server error.

Sorry my english is bad.

My too. :^)

I think short-description already good, only dont need "This is" in begining: "Multi-threaded CPU miner for bitcoin".

For long description may be some like this:

Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer digital currency. Peer-to-peer (P2P) means that there is no central authority to issue new money or keep track of transactions. Instead, these tasks are managed collectively by the nodes of the network. More information about bitcoin: http://http://www.bitcoin.org

This package contain miner that contribute your idle CPU time to the bitcoin network and may generate some coins for you.
This miner works on CPU and communicates with bitcoin or bitcoind via JSON-RPC interface.
Miner have few sha256 implementation:
* Linux kernel sha256, implemented in C
* tcatm's 4-way SSE2 implementation
* VIA padlock implementation (EXPERIMENTAL)
* Crypto++ library implementation (EXPERIMENTAL)

This compiled from bitcoin.org site and bitcoin-cpuminer man.

P.S.
Yes, my English is terrible and i use google translate to fight it! :^)

I created a binary amd64 package from Tuxsoul's source-deb.
May get it here: http://home.agalakov.spb.ru/Shared/Deb/bitcoin-cpuminer_0.2.1-1+lenny1_amd64.deb
It's just a first test attempt.

[adv]

New 0.3.2 version amd64-deb aviable: http://home.agalakov.spb.ru/Shared/Deb/bitcoin-cpuminer_0.3.2-1_amd64.deb
Compiled with -O3 (since the speed - one of the most important properties of this program). And I know that this can not work on some hosts. Please send bug reports and I disable it.

At the moment this deb - dirty hack: I copied the "debian" directory from the previous release. The building process needs to be automated.

[adv]

yesterday, I also created two .deb packages of Bitcoin 0.3.19 (i386 | amd64)

Good job!
(I don't test, want wait for official debian package, that already developing: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=578157 )

Does the minerd application only use my CPU, if it's not needed or is it always mining?

It just start with hardcoded niceness "19" (lower priority):
cpu-miner.c

Code:

 /* set our priority to the highest (aka "nicest, least intrusive") */
        if (setpriority(PRIO_PROCESS, 0, 19))
                perror("setpriority");

So the answer is "yes" on both sides of the issue. :^)

[adv]

Created new packages:
http://home.agalakov.spb.ru/Shared/Deb/btc-cpuminer_0.3.3-2_amd64.deb
http://home.agalakov.spb.ru/Shared/Deb/btc-cpuminer_0.3.3-2_i386.deb
http://home.agalakov.spb.ru/Shared/Deb/btc-cpuminer_0.5-1_amd64.deb
http://home.agalakov.spb.ru/Shared/Deb/btc-cpuminer_0.5-1_i386.deb

Package and binary renamed from original Tuxsoul's "bitcoin-cpuminer" in "btc-cpuminer" to avoid conflicts when install both versions.
Compilation with -O3.
Please test and send here the bugs and suggestions.
  ...and of course donations too! :^)

Hi sorry, christmas and new year gave me few time to work.

"Squeeze" and "sid" is not created yet? Repos for arch amd64? Its planned?

At this moment, i can compile only to "squeeze". I try using cross compile to get amd64 packages, but don't work, i need one computer  where i can run for amd64 apps, i'm working to buy one.

I think is a good idea -- add symlinks "stable" to "lenny" tree, and "testing->squeeze", "unstable->sid". Its useful sometime. But remember: that symlinks must be renewed when Debian change releases.

I think this is fixed.

And when refresh keys on "gpg: requesting key 287111EE from hkp server keys.gnupg.net" i sometime get key-server error.

I do not know "gnupg.net", but in the last week sent my gpg key, i hope the error does not happen again.

I think short-description already good, only dont need "This is" in begining: "Multi-threaded CPU miner for bitcoin".

For long description may be some like this:

...

Great, i can't test it, but you can run "lintian" to check your package.

[tuxsoul]

At the moment this deb - dirty hack: I copied the "debian" directory from the previous release. The building process needs to be automated.

In the last packages, i added a "watch" file, you can test it with "uscan", to get more quickly updates.

"watch" file:
