2018-01-18Don't allow relative -walletdir pathsRussell Yanofsky
Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path. Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently. Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it could also be also inconvenient for command line testing. Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the -walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues. Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir, so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a directory rooted in a completely different location.

This simplifies instructions a lot. From discussion with @fanquake on IRC I first wanted to add a new section for 6.2, but that made the document a complex mess. I think it's good enough (and more maintainable too) to only support the most recent release. Includes #11976. I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.

2017-12-22Merge #11605: [Wallet] Enable RBF by default in QTWladimir J. van der Laan
5cbbbd7 [Wallet] Use RBF by default in QT only (Sjors Provoost) Pull request description: ~If there are no objections, this would supersede #11556.~ Enabling RBF by default avoids the need to explain all possible use cases of RBF. This PR does not change the default RPC wallet behavior, as this could break implementations that depend on it and it's not clear what happens when automated services suddenly switch on RBF on a large scale. After trying various approaches, we settled on just having QT ignore `-walletrbf`.

Includes a basic test, and modifies the helptext of the dumpwallet RPC. Notes: - Reviewers: use `?w=1` to avoid the indentation-only change in commit `Add scripts to importwallet RPC ` - currently the scripts are followed with `# addr=` comments just as the other keys are, unsure if this might confuse users into thinking all the scripts are for valid P2SH addresses though, but I don't think that should be an issue. - there are no birthtimes for scripts, so script imports don't affect rescans - `importwallet` imports the CScripts but I'm not sure how to approach specifying whether scripts are for P2SH addresses, BIP173 addresses, etc. whether that matters or not. Otherwise the RPC helptext might just need modification.

See #11921, #11868. I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc). This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~. ~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~ ### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4 Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally. Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch. ### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4 Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell. Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly. ### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`. Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

Creates a new `wallets/` directory in datadir if this is the first time running, and defaults to using it if it exists. Includes tests and release notes. Things which might need to be considered more: - there is no 'lock' on the wallets directory, which might be needed? - because this uses a new wallets/ directory by default, downgrading to an earlier version won't see the wallets in that directory (not a big deal though, users can just copy them up to the main dir) - jnewbery suggested putting each wallet in its own directory, which is a good idea, but out of scope for this PR IMO. EDIT: this is being done in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687 - doc/files.md needs updating (will do soon) I also considered including a cleanup by removing caching of data directory paths and instead just initialise them once on startup (c.f. #3073), but decided it wasn't super relevant here will just complicate review.
