2015-06-30Ideal release process for Windows detached signingMicha
This is an ideal version of what the release process should look like, making it more consistent with the OS X process. Some of the changes described here would need to be made in the descriptors, which is somewhat beyond what I would feel comfortable doing, not really understanding the signature process in depth. [skip ci]
2015-06-18gitian: add a gitian-win-signer descriptorCory Fields
This is exactly like the current OSX signing process. osslsigncode has been patched to detach and re-attach Windows signatures. The changes can be seen here: https://github.com/theuni/osslsigncode/commits/attach-signature There's a pull-request open upstream for the changes: https://sourceforge.net/p/osslsigncode/osslsigncode/merge-requests/3/ This work has been back-ported to the stable 1.7.1 release of osslsigncode, so that a smaller patch can be reviewed.
2015-06-10gitian: Use the new bitcoin-detached-sigs git repo for OSX signaturesCory Fields
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.

The cdrkit.org domain expired. Thanks to gdm85 on IRC for reporting this.

This is PR #4271, but with the changes to the descriptors, both the names of the files and the names of the intermediate build artifact archives, removed. This also closes #3775 if it goes in, because it covers the changes in that PR.

2014-06-05gitian: upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1hWladimir J. van der Laan
Upgrade for https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt Just in case - there is no vulnerability that affects ecdsa signing or verification. The MITM attack vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) may have some effect on our usage of SSL/TLS. As long as payment requests are signed (which is the common case), usage of the payment protocol should also not be affected. The TLS usage in RPC may be at risk for MITM attacks. If you have `-rpcssl` enabled, be sure to update OpenSSL as soon as possible.

2014-06-02gitian: make linux qt intermediate deterministicWladimir J. van der Laan
A qt installation date snuck into the host utils (lrelease etc) This doesn't affect the end product, so no dependency version bump. It also doesn't explain why gavin's and mine build is different
2014-05-24release: Bump the OSX SDK to 10.7 for gitian buildsCory Fields
This fixes the display on Retina Macbooks. It also moves us away from depending on the ancient XCode3 sdk.

2014-04-30gitian: build against Qt 4.6Wladimir J. van der Laan
Should make it possible to run the resulting GUI executable on Linux distributions that use Qt 4.6, such as Debian Wheezy and Tails. Builds a mini-SDK for building against Qt 4.6. This includes the headers as well as host utilities such as `lrelease`, `qrc` and `moc`. This speeds up the gitian build a bit - libqt4-dev pulled in a lot of packages, and is no longer needed as this provides a replacement of our own. Note: This does not replace the Qt build with at static library. After this commit we still build dynamically against the system Qt library. The only difference is that compatibility with an older version is maintained. This loses minor GUI functionality (such as setPlaceholderText) but still allows integration into the window management of the host OS, unlike when statically linking.
2014-04-15VERSION obtained from source instead of the previous git tag.Warren Togami
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
2014-04-09doc: update expected intermediate dependency hashesWladimir J. van der Laan
Also move them to release-process.md from gitian-building.md for more visibility.
2014-04-09gitian: upgrade miniupnpc input to 1.9Wladimir J. van der Laan
Bumps deps-linux, deps-win dependency versions as well. qt-win does not need to be bumped, as although it depends on deps-win, Qt doesn't use miniupnp. I verified this by rebuilding the dependency and checking the the output is the same. Not having to rebuild Qt is a good thing as it is huge.
2014-04-08gitian: upgrade openssl to 1.0.1g for both win and linuxWladimir J. van der Laan
OpenSSL 1.0.1g fixes CVE-2014-0160. Also bump dependency versions.
2014-02-25Require OSX 10.6, 64-bitGavin Andresen
Drop support for 32-bit or pre-10.6 Macs. Also, some of the OSX build docs hadn't been updated since the autotools change.
2014-02-07Update the address for downloading libpngMicha
The FTP server what we get libpng from only keeps the latest version in its main folder. Older versions are in the "history" folder. Apparently version 1.6.9 has been released, so 1.6.8 has moved to the history folder.
2014-01-21gitian: Windows 64 bit supportWladimir J. van der Laan
- Build a 64 bit version of all dependencies - Show 32/64 bit version in "About..." for x86 - Export 64-bit .exes and installer from gitian build
2014-01-16gitian: Build boost dependency for linuxWladimir J. van der Laan
Instead of using the boost provided by Ubuntu 12.04, build our own dependency like we do for Windows. This allows using a much newer version (1.55 versus 1.46) as well as building with `-fPIC` so that `-pie` can be used in the x86-64 build.

release-process.md has the deps being built after qt. However, the descriptors for qt call for the deps file.
2013-10-04Fix and improve release-process.mdMicha
This commit adds a step, which is to git checkout the version to be built. This ensures that the gitian-descriptors for said version will be the correct ones. In addition, it updates the links for several dependencies, where the previously existing links were dead.
