- Changed Debian 8.5.0 ISO CD ROM URL by redirecting from current (which now has only 8.6.0) to a persistent archive link which should not change anytime soon.
- Added a link to official Debian checksum verification procedure (which is more verbose and also acts as a backup source of SHA256sum's)
- Fix capitalization (iso)
The example local paths for "Building fully offline" have an extraneous ".git". This caused an error when trying to run gbuild, like this
fatal: '/home/user/bitcoin.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
This commit fixes that.
These are changes I needed to get gitian building to work with Debian
8.2, which is the version we tell to use.
- Set up NAT, so that container can access network beyond host
- Remove explicit cgroup setup - these are mounted automatically now
done automatically.
At some point along the line, fully offline builds were no longer happening
when strictly following the release-process.md instructions.
We should ensure that users who might want to torify or build offline need
to take extra steps to remain offline.
Also, corrections to build process: including gverify examples for new builders.
I added a link to my guide about using docker containers + LXC (I am planning to maintain this at work
for future bitcoin versions), then I mentioned other virtualization options (KVM, LXC).
This commit includes a fix issue for documentation issue #4269 that consists in telling users to
checkout correct bitcoin version before using the gitian descriptors (otherwise all hell can break loose).
Also, I replaced URL for Debian 7.4 ISO with a correct one and added link to official Debian ISO sources.
The patch to make it possible to configure the LXC IPs has been merged
upstream. This means that it is no longer needed to patch gitian.
Remove that workaround.
