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.
Putting the build date in the executable is a practice that has no place
in these days, now that deterministic building is increasingly common.
Continues #7732 which did this for the GUI.
The NSIS script tried to delete wxwidgets-based executables/locales. These files are ancient, and presumably no users have them anymore, so we can simplify the NSIS script by removing those lines.
Replaces the hardcoded string "bitcoin" with the autoconf variable PACKAGE_TARNAME; fixes#7265.
Places where I chose not to replace:
1. bitcoin.ico wasn't replaced because it doesn't seem to be relevant to the build system and its filename never affects the end user.
2. InstallDir wasn't replaced because the current text has an uppercase B, and I'm not sure of a good way to capitalize the result of PACKAGE_TARNAME.
3. A comment in the Main Installer section wasn't replaced because comments don't ever face the end user.
4. The registry value "URL:Bitcoin" wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
5. Startup shortcut wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
All other appearances of "bitcoin" were replaced with PACKAGE_TARNAME, except for the bin names, which were instead replaced with the new bin name autoconf variables.
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
- Moved all seed related scripts to contrib/seeds for consistency
- Updated `makeseeds.py` to handle IPv6 and onions, fix regular
expression for recent Bitcoin Core versions
- Fixed a bug in `generate-seeds.py` with regard to IPv6 parsing
This makes it possible for a node with `-onlynet=tor` to bootstrap
itself.
It also adds the base infrastructure for adding IPv6 seed nodes.
Also represent IPv4 fixed seed addresses in 16-byte format.
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
Don't define BUILD_DATE at all when no git version information
is available. `version.cpp` will then define it for us correctly
to the last commit date.
This has been fixed and broken many times over 0.9 history
(21cc8bd, ef1e984), please don't touch this code unless you plan
on testing all possible scenarios including gitian builds.
Fixes#3570.
