There it is folks!

https://packages.debian.org/jessie/armory

I've kept my word and donated 300 mBTC, ~$100.

It's not much, but I'm not a wealthy man. The goal was a bunch of people to contribute to the bounty. That being said, it means a lot to me that Joseph is maintaining an armory package. So, thank you Joseph! Your work is a very important step for mainstream Bitcoin adoption.

Thank you so much that was very generous of you, but I am going to have to ask you for an address to return it. I was doing some more talking with upstream and my sponsors and it looks like it is not going to be possible to update Armory in stable like I thought. It turns out stable-updates is meant for updates that are required to retain a minimal set of expected features. So it is probably not possible to provide updates via stable-updates. Therefore it is best to just not have Armory in stable if it is going to get outdated. To prevent Armory from getting into stable, we are going to have to remove Armory from testing too. That means Armory is going to only be in unstable, which isn't as useful as if it were in testing and stable too.

Sorry if anyone is disappointed. I am disappointed myself having put in the effort to make the package, but this is better than an outdated version in stable. I will return the donations to anyone who wants their donation back.

Hopefully in the future linux distros change their policies to provide exceptions for Bitcoin software or Bitcoin software stabilizes more.
