Yes, that is why I am calling the v4 packages libbitcoin4-*

When three is tagged it should be easy for me to move the spec files to
tagged release and call them libbitcoin-* but leave the four spec files
for people who want to run it on a test machine for developing stuff.

The installer manages a couple bugs that are tedious to deal with manually. One of them is a boost-icu bug. If this is not managed properly and you build with ICU enabled you will see breaks in ICU functionality. Proper ICU operation is critical due to the inclusion of BIP39. Without the fix the build would complete as if successful and all code would run, but the results would be incorrect. So we've patched it in the installation, added test cases to catch the silent failure, and perform a run-time on-first-use test as well. See install.sh comments for details on the patch.


I will do so, I may have stumbled on the ICU issue.

I have them as sub-packages so they don't need to be installed by the
user if the user doesn't want them.

But I figured out the python path thing, when installing outside of /usr
just need a libbitcoin.pth file in the standard python path to tell it
where to look.
