ab5bba778 Fix launchctl not being able to stop bitcoind (Alejandro Avilés) Pull request description: `bitcoind` should not be launched as daemon from the Launch Agent. Otherwise, the process cannot be stopped from `launchctl stop`/`launchctl unload`. To reproduce the issue: ```console $ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.bitcoin.bitcoind.plist $ pgrep -fla bitcoin 60225 /usr/local/opt/bitcoin/bin/bitcoind $ launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.bitcoin.bitcoind.plist ``` Wait a few seconds and then run `pgrep` again: ```console $ pgrep -fla bitcoin 60225 /usr/local/opt/bitcoin/bin/bitcoind ``` The node is still running. This happens because Launch Agent is not supposed to run programs as daemons, since the agent makes sure they run in the background. Running them as daemons makes the Launch Agent lose control of the process and, so, it cannot be stopped.

script.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
Qos
A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.
Seeds
Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.
Build Tools and Keys
Debian
Contains files used to package bitcoind/bitcoin-qt for Debian-based Linux systems. If you compile bitcoind/bitcoin-qt yourself, there are some useful files here.
Gitian-descriptors
Files used during the gitian build process. For more information about gitian, see the the Bitcoin Core documentation repository.
Gitian-keys
PGP keys used for signing Bitcoin Core Gitian release results.
MacDeploy

RPM
RPM spec file for building bitcoin-core on RPM based distributions.
Gitian-build
Script for running full Gitian builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Verify Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.
