Rather than fetching a signature.tar.gz from somewhere on the net, instruct Gitian to use a signature from a tag in the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository which corresponds to the tag of the release being built. This changes detached-sig-apply.sh to take a dirname rather than a tarball as an argument, though detached-sig-create.sh still outputs a tarball for convenience.
Wallet Tools
BitRPC
Allows for sending of all standard Bitcoin commands via RPC rather than as command line args.
SpendFrom
Use the raw transactions API to send coins received on a particular address (or addresses).
Repository Tools
Developer tools
Specific tools for developers working on this repository.
Contains the script github-merge.sh for merging github pull requests securely and signing them using GPG.
Verify-Commits
Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the above github-merge.sh 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
Gavin's notes on getting gitian builds up and running using KVM.
Gitian-downloader
Various PGP files of core developers.
MacDeploy
Scripts and notes for Mac builds.
Test and Verify Tools
TestGen
Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.
Test Patches
These patches are applied when the automated pull-tester tests each pull and when master is tested using jenkins.
Verify SF Binaries
This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from SourceForge.
