Contents =========== This directory contains tools for developers working on this repository. github-merge.sh ================== A small script to automate merging pull-requests securely and sign them with GPG. For example: ./github-merge.sh bitcoin/bitcoin 3077 (in any git repository) will help you merge pull request #3077 for the bitcoin/bitcoin repository. What it does: * Fetch master and the pull request. * Locally construct a merge commit. * Show the diff that merge results in. * Ask you to verify the resulting source tree (so you can do a make check or whatever). * Ask you whether to GPG sign the merge commit. * Ask you whether to push the result upstream. This means that there are no potential race conditions (where a pullreq gets updated while you're reviewing it, but before you click merge), and when using GPG signatures, that even a compromised github couldn't mess with the sources. Setup --------- Configuring the github-merge tool for the bitcoin repository is done in the following way: git config githubmerge.repository bitcoin/bitcoin git config githubmerge.testcmd "make -j4 check" (adapt to whatever you want to use for testing) git config --global user.signingkey mykeyid (if you want to GPG sign) fix-copyright-headers.py =========================== Every year newly updated files need to have its copyright headers updated to reflect the current year. If you run this script from src/ it will automatically update the year on the copyright header for all .cpp and .h files if these have a git commit from the current year. For example a file changed in 2014 (with 2014 being the current year): ```// Copyright (c) 2009-2013 The Bitcoin developers``` would be changed to: ```// Copyright (c) 2009-2014 The Bitcoin developers``` symbol-check.py ================== A script to check that the (Linux) executables produced by gitian only contain allowed gcc, glibc and libstdc++ version symbols. This makes sure they are still compatible with the minimum supported Linux distribution versions. Example usage after a gitian build: find ../gitian-builder/build -type f -executable | xargs python contrib/devtools/symbol-check.py If only supported symbols are used the return value will be 0 and the output will be empty. If there are 'unsupported' symbols, the return value will be 1 a list like this will be printed: .../64/test_darkcoin: symbol memcpy from unsupported version GLIBC_2.14 .../64/test_darkcoin: symbol __fdelt_chk from unsupported version GLIBC_2.15 .../64/test_darkcoin: symbol std::out_of_range::~out_of_range() from unsupported version GLIBCXX_3.4.15 .../64/test_darkcoin: symbol _ZNSt8__detail15_List_nod from unsupported version GLIBCXX_3.4.15 update-translations.py ======================= Run this script from the root of the repository to update all translations from transifex. It will do the following automatically: - fetch all translations - post-process them into valid and committable format - add missing translations to the build system (TODO) See doc/translation-process.md for more information.
