-------------------------
Gitian needs virtual images of the operating system to build in.
Currently this is Ubuntu Precise for both x86 architectures.
Currently this is Ubuntu Precise for x86_64.
These images will be copied and used every time that a build is started to
make sure that the build is deterministic.
Creating the images will take a while, but only has to be done once.

Getting and building the inputs
--------------------------------
In [doc/release-process.md](release-process.md) in the bitcoin repository under 'Fetch and build inputs'.
you will find a list of `wget` commands that can be executed to get the dependencies.
I needed to add `--no-check-certificate` to the OpenSSL wget line to make it work.
Likely this is because the ca-certificates in Debian 7.4 is fairly old. This does not create a
security issue as the gitian descriptors check the integrity of the input archives and refuse to work
if any one is corrupted.
After downloading the archives, execute the `gbuild` commands to build the dependencies.
This can take a long time, but only has to be done when the dependencies change, for example
to upgrade the used version.
**Note**: Do not forget to copy the result from `build/out` to `inputs` after every gbuild command! This will save
you a lot of time.
At any time you can check the package installation and build progress with
```bash
tail -f var/install.log
tail -f var/build.log
```
Follow the instructions in [doc/release-process.md](release-process.md) in the bitcoin repository
under 'Fetch and build inputs' to install sources which require manual intervention. Also follow
the next step: 'Seed the Gitian sources cache', which will fetch all necessary source files allowing
for gitian to work offline.
Building Bitcoin

@ -339,6 +321,15 @@ Building Bitcoin
To build Bitcoin (for Linux, OSX and Windows) just follow the steps under 'perform
gitian builds' in [doc/release-process.md](release-process.md) in the bitcoin repository.
This may take a long time as it also builds the dependencies needed for each descriptor.
These dependencies will be cached after a successful build to avoid rebuilding them when possible.
At any time you can check the package installation and build progress with
```bash
tail -f var/install.log
