The tar archives generated by gitian are currently unversioned. This
adds either a tag name when building from a tag, or a short commit id
when building from a commit hash.
This commits adds the `--no-apt` flag to the gitian-build.py script.
This allows gitian builds to be run without root access and non-debian
based operating systems.
Building with docker is arguably easier and more familiar to most people
than either kvm, or lxc.
This commit also relaxes the back compat requirement a bit. 32 bit linux
now uses glibc version 2.0. Also, the docker shell could not handle gcc arguments
containing spaces, so the explicit '-DFELT_TYPE' declaration was dropped.
Lastly, this removes some packages from the osx descriptor.
The version prefix 'v' should just be set constantly.
Reflect this change in the README as well.
This should allow building commits as well, if a commit
is passed in instead of a tag.
Windows is built with a seperate descriptor to handle additional changes
that need to be done to the end binary. Consolidate the gitian-build
script for this change.
The signature prepare tool and the gitian-builder git repo should be
checked for their content. For this purpose, checkout the gitian-builder
repo at a specific commit and take the sha256sum of the osslsigncode
tool.
This adds a build script to run gitian builds for linux.
The build script was copied from bitcoin and then adapted for monero.
Build step documentation is outlined in the README in the contrib/gitian
directory.
