Common sentiment is that the miniupnpc codebase likely contains further
vulnerabilities.
I'd prefer to get rid of the dependency completely, but a compromise for
now is to at least disable it by default.
Rather than fetching a signature.tar.gz from somewhere on the net, instruct
Gitian to use a signature from a tag in the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository
which corresponds to the tag of the release being built.
This changes detached-sig-apply.sh to take a dirname rather than a tarball as
an argument, though detached-sig-create.sh still outputs a tarball for
convenience.
For Gitian releases:
- Windows builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ was already linked statically.
- OSX builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ is tied to the SDK and not worth
messing with.
- Linux builds now statically link libstdc++.
For Travis:
- Match the previous behavior by adding --enable-reduce-exports as
necessary.
- Use static libstdc++ for the full Linux build.
Since permissions and timestamps are changed for the sake of determinism,
. must not be added to the archive. Otherwise, tar may try to modify pwd when
extracting.
Descriptors now make use of the dependencies builder, so results are cached.
A very new version (>= e9741525c) of Gitian should be used in order to take
advantage of caching.
Upgrade for https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt
Just in case - there is no vulnerability that affects ecdsa signing or
verification.
The MITM attack vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) may have some effect on
our usage of SSL/TLS.
As long as payment requests are signed (which is the common case), usage
of the payment protocol should also not be affected.
The TLS usage in RPC may be at risk for MITM attacks. If you have
`-rpcssl` enabled, be sure to update OpenSSL as soon as possible.
A qt installation date snuck into the host utils (lrelease etc)
This doesn't affect the end product, so no dependency version bump.
It also doesn't explain why gavin's and mine build is different
If the `libqt4-dev` package is installed it picks the moc executable
from the system instead of our custom-built one. This results in
compatibility errors.
This commit convinces configure to pick the right one.
This avoids conflicts between the libraries statically linked into bitcoin and any
libraries we may link dynamically (such as Qt and OpenSSL, see issue #4094).
It also avoids start-up overhead to not export any unnecessary symbols.
To do this, build a linker script that marks all symbols as local.
Should make it possible to run the resulting GUI executable on
Linux distributions that use Qt 4.6, such as Debian Wheezy and Tails.
Builds a mini-SDK for building against Qt 4.6. This includes the headers
as well as host utilities such as `lrelease`, `qrc` and `moc`.
This speeds up the gitian build a bit - libqt4-dev pulled in a lot of packages,
and is no longer needed as this provides a replacement of our own.
Note: This does not replace the Qt build with at static library. After this
commit we still build dynamically against the system Qt library. The only
difference is that compatibility with an older version is maintained. This
loses minor GUI functionality (such as setPlaceholderText) but still
allows integration into the window management of the host OS, unlike
when statically linking.
Bumps deps-linux, deps-win dependency versions as well.
qt-win does not need to be bumped, as although it depends on deps-win,
Qt doesn't use miniupnp. I verified this by rebuilding the dependency
and checking the the output is the same. Not having to rebuild Qt is a
good thing as it is huge.
IIRC this was the case with 0.8.6, so let's keep this to avoid the risk
of losing connectable nodes with 0.9 release.
Also our miniupnpc library was recently updated and I've heard
reports that it works better than before now.
While building protobuf in different environments we noticed that
the host tool protoc was slightly different between builds (a symbol table
sorting issue).
Add a deterministic seed as well as disable zlib support.
Exected output is now:

No effect on final executables so no version bump.
Boost iostreams was picking up libz-dev in VirtualBox, as the recommended
way to build is now to make a VM with all dependency packages installed.
This caused a divergence between KVM/LXC build and VirtualBox
build results.
Fix this in the simplest possible way: add the libz-dev package.
ar -D: Operate in deterministic mode. When adding files and the archive
index use zero for UIDs, GIDs, timestamps, and use consistent file modes
for all files. When this option is used, if ar is used with identical
options and identical input files, multiple runs will create identical
output files regardless of the input files' owners, groups, file modes,
or modification times.
It appears that the output was different every time.
This doesn't affect the final bitcoind/bitcoin-qt, but is confusing
nevertheless.
Fix it by using FAKETIME and zipping files in deterministic order.
