2018-03-07Merge #11687: External wallet filesWladimir J. van der Laan
be8ab7d08 Create new wallet databases as directories rather than files (Russell Yanofsky) 26c06f24e Allow wallet files not in -walletdir directory (Russell Yanofsky) d8a99f65e Allow wallet files in multiple directories (Russell Yanofsky) Pull request description: This change consists of three commits: * The first commit is a pure refactoring that removes the restriction that two wallets can only be opened at the same time if they are contained in the same directory. * The second commit removes the restriction that `-wallet` filenames can only refer to files in the `-walletdir` directory. * The third commit makes second commit a little safer by changing bitcoin to create wallet databases as directories rather than files, so they can be safely backed up. All three commits should be straightforward: * The first commit adds around 20 lines of new code and then updates a bunch of function signatures (generally updating them to take plain fs::path parameters, instead of combinations of strings, fs::paths, and objects like CDBEnv and CWalletDBWrapper). * The second commit removes two `-wallet` filename checks and adds some test cases to the multiwallet unit test. * The third commit just changes the mapping from specified wallet paths to bdb environment & data paths. --- **Note:** For anybody looking at this PR for the first time, I think you can skip the comments before _20 Nov_ and start reading at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11687#issuecomment-345625565. Comments before _20 Nov_ were about an earlier version of the PR that didn't include the third commit, and then confusion from not seeing the first commit.

2018-03-03Create new wallet databases as directories rather than filesRussell Yanofsky
This change should make it easier for users to make complete backups of wallets because they can now just back up the specified `-wallet=<path>` path directly, instead of having to back up the specified path as well as the transaction log directory (for incompletely flushed wallets). Another advantage of this change is that if two wallets are located in the same directory, they will now use their own BerkeleyDB environments instead using a shared environment. Using a shared environment makes it difficult to manage and back up wallets separately because transaction log files will contain a mix of data from all wallets in the environment.

Unclear whether and when to replace by fresh copies. * Unclear when to add a key of a new developer or Gitian builder. The problems are solved by * Having no keys but only the fingerprints * Adding a rule of thumb, when to add a new key <strike>Moving the keys to a different repo solves none of these issues, but since the keys are not bound to releases or git branches of Bitcoin Core, they should live somewhere else. Obviously, all keys are hosted and distributed on key servers, but were added to the repo solely for convenience and redundancy. Moving the mirror of those keys to a different repo makes it less distracting to update them -- let's say -- prior to every major release.

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.
