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.
Specifically, require that the left branch (first restult of git
show -s --format=format:%P) is a signed merge commit, instead of
allowing either. This is fine for now, but might need to be relaxed
in the future.
Also fixes an out-of-file-descriptors issue by holding too many
open FDs writing to /dev/null
- The last-timestamp-encountered variable wasn’t being used properly. Rewrite code to properly allow for new blockchain files to be written when split by month.
- Properly set a blockchain file’s access and modify times.
- Add a “debug output” option to quiet certain output that might not always be desirable.
- Update the README.
Also change the mac filename to match
The procedure remains the same, but now there's a nifty script to automate
the signing process.
Future steps:
- Build osslsigncode in the gitian-win descriptor so that the signer itself is
deterministic.
- Verify in the gitian-win-signer descriptor that the expected cert chain was
used.
To ensure that this is the correct chain, it is pulled from a previous release
binary.
Procedure:
$ osslsigncode extract-signature -pem -in bitcoin-0.13.2-win32-setup.exe \
-out bitcoin-0.13.2-win32-setup.exe.pem
$ openssl pkcs7 -print_certs -in bitcoin-0.13.2-win32-setup.exe.pem \
-out win-codesign.cert
Hand-edit to remove comments, as well as the timestamp cert.
