[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] libdb5 and backports

[Martin Str|mberg]

Hello.


1. I see that wheeze doesn't have libdb version 4, so you're building
bitcoind with libdb 5.

I assume the upgrade from db 4 to 5 will just happen when I start
bitcoind and I have my db 4 wallet in .bitcoin/, right?
 
Is that a good idea as the wallet db will be incompatible with other
bitcoin clients?

For example I can't move my wallet back to my squeeze system if I find
out that I need to. An other example would be supposing I'd want to
switch to another OS or distribution.


2. Is it you that are doing backports to squeeze? If not, who? Because
that 0.3.24 version is seriously outdated (and DOSable, IIUC), and a
newer version is needed.


Ideas, suggestions, comments?
