Debian-specific Litecoin usage notes =================================== Wrapper to ease initial startup ------------------------------- Debian ships with a small wrapper for litecoind to ease initial startup: * Store a random generated password in ~/.litecoin/litecoin.conf * Setup ~/.litecoin/DB_CONFIG to purge no longer needed dblog files Above is done only when the respective files do not already exist. Upgrading Problems ------------------ Litecoin uses a recent (at compile time) version of Berkeley DB. Unfortunately Litecoin is not clever enough to automatically update its database, so if you fail to restart Litecoin after a package update, the database may be outdated and need manual update. The following might work: db4.8_recover -h ~/.litecoin db_upgrade -h ~/.litecoin wallet.dat Above commands need the packages db-util and db4.8-util installed. If that fails then try with db4.7-util instead. -- Jonas Smedegaard Tue, 07 Jun 2011 10:52:52 +0200
