Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.
Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
This allows formatting release versions with precision i.e. v0.9.2
This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat
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.
The FTP server what we get libpng from only keeps the latest version in its main folder. Older versions are in the "history" folder. Apparently version 1.6.9 has been released, so 1.6.8 has moved to the history folder.
Instead of using the boost provided by Ubuntu 12.04, build our own
dependency like we do for Windows.
This allows using a much newer version (1.55 versus 1.46) as well as
building with `-fPIC` so that `-pie` can be used in the x86-64 build.
This commit adds a step, which is to git checkout the version to be
built. This ensures that the gitian-descriptors for said version will be
the correct ones. In addition, it updates the links for several
dependencies, where the previously existing links were dead.
Workaround 1.54.0 build bug, upstream #9156
Workaround 1.51.0+ human bug, upstream #7262
This commit also demonstrates a method to verify the integrity of inputs.
