Bug#718272: backport branches are available
This isn't correct. We do support backported/stable versions in a separate git repository: https://gitorious.org/bitcoin/bitcoind-stable/ Debian is welcome to choose a branch and I will do what I can to ensure it receives long-term support. I would recommend using the latest release (currently 0.8.4) if possible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

It appears whenever there is a current-version micro-release, those commits are backported to the stable branches. I have a lot of different projects, and tend to cycle through them. Outside of that routine, I try to get stable updated and released only after master has released a final versions, so as to avoid taking away from testing of those release candidates. Are only security and network related commits backported? I've been backporting fixes for bugs that affect the older versions (not necessarily only security-related, and also not including some more complicated but relatively unimportant fixes that may create new bugs), mandatory network changes (only), and translation updates (when possible). Is there a stable micro-release when those are backported, or is this something that is more of a rolling stable branch. When there are security fixes or network changes, I bump the version number in git. There have been releases in the past, but due to lack of interest I've been more inclined to maintain them as a simple rolling branch lately. It's simple enough to add tags, however, so I'll probably keep doing that at logical commits. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
