bitcoin to be maintained upstream in PPA: Replace distro archive "bitcoin" bitcoin with an empty dummy package |

See the mailing list discussions at https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2013-December/thread.html and https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2014-April/thread.html.
In short: old versions of Bitcoin Core (as it is now known) are broken, not up to date on bug fixes, etc.
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bitcoin&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all shows that these old versions of the package are shipped in precise, raring, and saucy. In the past, I'm pretty sure it's also shown version 0.6.something in quantal, but that appears to have disappeared from the search.
My understanding from the ML discussions earlier is that it's impossible to remove a package from the package lists, but it could be replaced with an SRU by a dummy package that explains to the user why it's gone and prompts them to download the software either from the PPA (ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin) or the release binaries from bitcoin.org. This is what I'd like to request be done. |
The Bitcoin utilities are a set of virtual-currency tools. Going forward the upstream maintainers have expressed a wish to maintain 'bitcoin' in a PPA; superseding the version in the main archives. The 'bitcoin' package has already been removed from 'trusty' and blacklisted from synching going forward. This bug report covers earlier versions of Ubuntu, where it is intended to replace the in-archive versions with a dummy package directing users towards the PPA-maintained copy.

[Test Case]
* running bitcoind won't even connect to the network nor relay transactions
[Regression Potential]
* we're removing the package |
