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.
Linearize
Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.
PyMiner
This is a 'getwork' CPU mining client for Bitcoin. It is pure-python, and therefore very, very slow. The purpose is to provide a reference implementation of a miner in order to study and develop other mining programs.
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.
