Some minor github-merge improvements I've made over time:
User interface:
- Print merge details again before signing off, to refresh your memory -
usually I'll have done lots of different things in the shell so this
will have scrolled out a long time ago.
- Require a valid answer on the prompts. One of the requested answers
must be typed, if not, the prompt will re-ask. This prevents
accidentally rejecting.
Efficiency:
- Condense "accept merge" and "sign off" prompts. There's no reason to
have this as two separate prompts, both are just opportunities to skip
out on the merge, no action is performed in between.
Merging:
- Strip spaces from github title. This avoids redundant spaces
surrounding it from getting into the commit message.
This changes tree_sha512sum() to requests the objects for hashing from
git instead of from the working tree.
The change should make the process more deterministic (it hashes what
will be pushed) and hopefully avoids the frequent miscomputed SHA512's
that happen now.
This removes the option from the wallet to not pay a fee on "small"
transactions which spend "old" inputs.
This code is no longer worth keeping around, as almost all miners
prefer not to include transactions which pay no fee at all.
If both numeric format specifiers and "others" are used, assume we're
dealing with a Qt-formatted message. In the case of Qt formatting (see
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qstring.html#arg) only numeric formats are
replaced at all. This means "(percentage: %1%)" is valid (which was
introduced in #9461), without needing any kind of escaping that would be
necessary for strprintf. Without this, this function would wrongly
detect '%)' as a printf format specifier.
Three categories of modifications:
1)
1 instance of 'The Bitcoin Core developers \n',
1 instance of 'the Bitcoin Core developers\n',
3 instances of 'Bitcoin Core Developers\n', and
12 instances of 'The Bitcoin developers\n'
are made uniform with the 443 instances of 'The Bitcoin Core developers\n'
2)
3 instances of 'BitPay, Inc\.\n' are made uniform with the other 6
instances of 'BitPay Inc\.\n'
3)
4 instances where there was no '(c)' between the 'Copyright' and the year
where it deviates from the style of the local directory.
Three subcommands to this script:
1) ./copyright_header.py report
Examines git-tracked files with extensions that match:
INCLUDE = ['*.h', '*.cpp', '*.cc', '*.c', '*.py']
Helps to:
-> Identify source files without copyright
-> Identify source files added with something other than "The Bitcoin Core
developers" holder so we can be sure it is appropriate
-> Identify unintentional typos in the copyright line
2) ./copyright_header.py update
Replaces fix-copyright-headers.py. It does file editing in native python
rather than subprocessing out to perl as was the case with
fix-copyright-headers.py. It also shares code with the 'report' functions.
3) ./copyright_header.py insert
Inserts a copyright header into a source file with the proper format and
dates.
- create a script to handle split debug. This will also eventually need to check
targets, and use dsymutil for osx.
- update config.guess/config.sub for bdb for aarch64.
- temporarily disable symbol checks for arm/aarch64
- quit renaming to linux32/linux64 and use the host directly
This also adds a hack to work around an Ubuntu bug in the gcc-multilib package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-defaults-armhf-cross/+bug/1347820
The problem is that gcc-multilib conflicts with the aarch toolchain.
gcc-multilib installs a symlink that points
/usr/include/asm -> /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm.
Without this link, gcc -m32 can't find asm/errno.h (and others), since
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu isn't in its default include path. But
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu is (though it doesn't exist on disk).
So work around the problem by linking
/usr/include/i386-linux-gnu/asm -> /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/asm.
The symlink fix is actually quite reasonable, but echoing the password into
sudo is nasty, and should probably be addressed in gitian itself. It makes more
sense to enable passwordless sudo for the build user by default.
As we are already using the API to retrieve the pull request
title, also retrieve the base branch.
This makes sure that pull requests for 0.12 automatically end up in
0.12, and pull requests for master automatically end up in master,
and so on.
It is still possible to override the branch from the command line
or using the `githubmerge.branch` git option.
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
This makes github-merge.py the first developer tool to go
all Python 3 (for context see #7717).
The changes are straightforward as the script already was
`from __future__ import division,print_function,unicode_literals`.
However urllib2 changed name, and json will only accept unicode data not
bytes.
This retains py2 compatibility for now: not strictly necessary
as it's not used by the build system - but it was easy.
Use 'utf-8' instead of the Python 2 default of 'ascii' to encode/decode
commit messages.
This can be removed when switching to Python 3, as 'utf-8' is the
default there.
Necessary for merging #7422 due to the ฿ in ฿tcDrak.
