[Dev] Packaging feathercoind and feathercoin-qt on Linux
-
I am trying to learn about the OpenSuse build service and who owns what and what is where. Pretty mind blowing.
I noted that : the 9.3.1 build is complex because of bringing in and compiling associated dependencies.
-
Does this work with the straight 16.04 dev install, without compiling outside dependencies?. (probably not in case of zxing)
-
If not, it is OpenSuse suggested policy to build (such as zxing or BerkleyDB) as separate repositories, so others could use them and bring the binaries in from there (on the final “release” build). I have searched and no zxing is currently up.
-
I have registered Feathercoin-qt Opensuse build service name, for consideration as the official name, can pass it over appropriately.
-
I have researched becoming the Offical FTC openSuse package and have been given and possible way forward, to be assesd by the Factory as the official package. Passed on to Wellenreiter try that angle.

If you follow the guide I made for debian/ubuntu installs it should solve all dependencies, as you add my repository as package source and I’ve a xzing package for ubuntu there.

The package name is ‘libzxing’ ;)

Random idea semi related. Now that Ubuntu builds have been done… maybe posting that on bitcointalk just to make people aware.
Ubuntu is a popular distro, makes sense no ?

@Aciddude Re : To Announce all the builds available — That’s a great idea.
I would look better if we get all the links sorted so we/Wellenreiter are the official builds on OpenSuse.
There is a procedure, hopefully short, to apply to the Factory project maintainer. It would look better, especially announcing it.
I suppose the author could specify each of the "official " builds in a link - and go back later and update them if we end up adjusting the links to release builds.

I have been investigating the usefulness of “cheap” Arm smart TV boxes. As905 quad core Arm is quite powerful, enough to start running a full desktop. It currently runs Android.
It is relatively straight forward to compile the Bitcoin codebase for Arm 7 and above should have enough power to run graphics.
I am looking into wither a build service covers cross compiling a Arm build?
