Title: bitcoin-qt on CentOS Post by: alice76 on July 21, 2013, 04:59:10 PM Hi, The official CentOS repository doesn't appear to contain an RPM package for bitcoin-qt. Anyone know why?
I found a couple third party RPMs, but I'm not quite sure I trust them. The alternative would be to install from source, but I'm trying to avoid that. Any suggestions?

Yes, because CentOS only rebuilds what upstream provides. So if you want to see Bitcoin in their official repos you need to make Redhat add it.
