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.
This reverts commit 1078fb0885 (and thus
pull #5623). It has various issues:
- Pull request names get cut off at ", see e.g. a026a56
- Merge script no longer copes with pulls that have a milestone
attached, due to a duplicate 'title' in JSON that is not handled by the
ad-hoc parsing.
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.
- Check that image contents match pre- and post- crushing.
- Also remove use of external tool to compute sha256 in favor of hashlib.
- contrib: remove all use of shell=True in strip_pngs.py
Using `shell=True` can be a security hazard. See e.g.
https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.check_output
- Add a space after the fixed string prepended to file names when input or
output file changes
- Clarify the error message when the genesis block is not found in the
hash list (...why do we have this at all?)
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.
* Support new rpc commands.
* Several commands now take an optional boolean includeWatchonly argument.
* "help" now has section headers, ignore them when compiling list of commands.
Make it possible to read blocks in any order. This will be required
after headers-first (#4468), so should be merged before that.
- Read block header. For expected blocks, continue, else skip.
- For in-order blocks: copy block contents directly. Write prior
out-of-order blocks if this connects a consecutive span.
- For out-of-order blocks, store extents of block data for later
retrieval. Cache out-of-order blocks in memory up to 100MB
(configurable).
Code signing failed for me on OSX 10.9.5 because the
Versions/Current symbolic links were being replaced
with a duplicate copy of the frameworks' code.
Releases were bigger than they needed to be, for the
same reason.
The approach from 65f3fa8d1 worked for signing on 10.9.4, but not newer
versions. 10.9.5 (and up) want each framework to stand alone.
Now in addition to copying the plist's from Qt for each framework, we put them
in per-version dirs and only symlink to the latest, rather than using symlinks
for any contents.
- Catch problems such as mismatched formatting characters. Remove
messages that can give problems at runtime.
- Also remove unfinished/untranslated messages, they just take up space
in the ts and waste parsing time.
Fixes#4774.
This was typically ensured implicitly by virtue of normal bitcoind
operation. Adding an explicit check provides a stronger guarantee, and
it is cheap to add.
Break into two steps:
* Generate hash list
* Build data file(s) from local bitcoind blocks/ directory.
This supports building one large bootstrap.dat, or multiple
smaller blocks/blkNNNNN.dat files.
