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.
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.
The consistency is helpful for gauging Gitian build progress. Right now it's necessary to remember which platform builds in which order, which can be confusing if you're attempting to get a quick idea of how far along your builds are.
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.
I've written a script that automates the setup and building of binaries with gitian. All of the commands are pulled from various documentation on gitian building.
