[Pkg-bitcoin-devel] Packaging alternative to bitcoin core, the return

[Amaury SECHET]

Alright guys, I did not forgot you.

I'm very close to have a package for bitcoin unlimited. It builds and all,
but I have some lintian complaints I need to look into. What is the next
step ?

Jonas you mentioned if I was interested in becoming maintainer. To be
honest I have the time and willingness to do it, but I'm not sure it is a
great fit at this time. I fairly green at debian packaging. I would be
happy to do so once I get more experience, and if you guys still think this
is appropriate at that time.

Thanks,

Amaury SECHET
