Hi everyone, |

I proxy maintain bitcoins for luke-jr. He wants to propose a patch |
| 4 |
against the bitcoin eclass. The following is his proposed change. I'll |
| 5 |
commit it after review. |

Bitcoin Knots includes a number of enhancements users may find useful. I |
| 11 |
think it would be a good idea to make it the default for Bitcoin |
| 12 |
ebuilds (net-p2p/bitcoin-qt, net-p2p/bitcoind, and dev-util/bitcoin-tx). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Note that: |
| 15 |
- The USE flag is being renamed from the old "ljr" to "knots" to reflect |
| 16 |
the current naming. |
| 17 |
- This does NOT enable the historically-controversial spamfilte |
| 18 |
BITCOIN_POLICY. |
| 19 |
- Knots has since 0.12 (over a year old) included a clearly different |
| 20 |
splash screen and branding, so even if the user somehow misses the USE |
| 21 |
flag change and explicit src_prepare warning, it is clear upfront at |
| 22 |
startup and runtime that they are running Knots rather than Core. |
| 23 |
- Old ebuilds are not being updated to minimise impact. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
A patch against the current Portage tree is attached. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
A bug tracker for this has been open for 2 months with no objections: |

| 29 |
|
| 30 |
If there are no objections in the next week, we will move forward with |
| 31 |
deploying this change to the main Portage tree. |
