[Comment 3 Ron OHara 2015-09-04 12:10:53 UTC]

Until this gets included in portage, you can simply enable local ebuilds (usually in /usr/local/portage)

To use these, just download that .gz files to /tmp and then

cd /usr/local/portage
tar xvzf /tmp/bitcoinxtd-0.11.0-r1.tar.gz
tar xvzf /tmp/bitcoinxt-qt-0.11.0.tar.gz

The packages should then be available to emerge.

emerge -uv net-p2p/bitcoinxtd
emerge -uv net-p2p/bitcoinxt-qt

Please remove me from the maintainers list in these packages. There are also a bunch of unsupported USE flags listed in metadata.xml and IUSE as well.

Probably should clarify in the description that it is incompatible with Bitcoin so people don't get confused.

BitcoinXT is not incompatible with Bitcoin core.

If you are planning on hosting this package on Sunrise or another overlay, please add the InOverlay keyword.

[Comment 32 Ron OHara 2015-09-14 04:38:23 UTC]

Ian

As per the discussion in https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=557900

This is to be added to the base portage rather than an overlay. I will become maintainer, and Anthoney Basile is being proxy maintainer

[Comment 33 Andreas Sturmlechner 2017-01-31 20:05:19 UTC]

Is there any activity still happening with bitcoinxt*? I'm looking at unattended bug 574672, bug 575992 and bug bug 595454 in particular here.

[Comment 34 Pacho Ramos 2017-06-13 08:33:49 UTC]

packages are in the tree (for new issues you should open new bugs)
