Debian Packaging

[oaxaca]

I asked the development team of Tails to add DASH to their core suite.

This was their answer:
----------------------------------------
Hi!

Thanks for your proposition, but I looked at it, and their wallet isn't packaged for
Debian so we won't include it anytime soon. See
https://tails.boum.org/support/faq#index27h2

You can suggest it again once someone has taken up the task of maintaining it in
Debian
----------------------------------------

Anybody interested?

Interesting. This would probably be much easier now that Debian 8 has been released as I believe it has a new enough GLIBC now.

Last time I looked at doing anything on Debian I had issues with GLIBC version's of default debian wheezy being too old. In order to get the machine to run DASH I basically and to manually update GLIBC to the from the testing repository.

Tail's response was basically saying if you want to be included in tails you have to be included in the debian repository. Little bit of a ways to go before that will happen.
