This shell script creates a docker image for running the gitian-build.py
script, to avoid version incompatibilities. The builds may be signed
automatically after manually reviewing the build hashes.
Only docker.io and apt-cacher-ng are required to be installed on the
host. The MacOSX SDK should also be present in this directory if Mac
builds are desired. A container named "gitrun" is used to launch
the builds, and all output will reside in this container as well.
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.
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.
