Wladimir J. van der Laan 3ab1664594 gitian: build against Qt 4.6
Should make it possible to run the resulting GUI executable on
Linux distributions that use Qt 4.6, such as Debian Wheezy and Tails.

Builds a mini-SDK for building against Qt 4.6. This includes the headers
as well as host utilities such as `lrelease`, `qrc` and `moc`.

This speeds up the gitian build a bit - libqt4-dev pulled in a lot of packages,
and is no longer needed as this provides a replacement of our own.

Note: This does not replace the Qt build with at static library. After this
commit we still build dynamically against the system Qt library. The only
difference is that compatibility with an older version is maintained. This
loses minor GUI functionality (such as setPlaceholderText) but still
allows integration into the window management of the host OS, unlike
when statically linking.

Release Process


###update (commit) version in sources

contrib/verifysfbinaries/verify.sh
doc/README*
share/setup.nsi
src/clientversion.h (change CLIENT_VERSION_IS_RELEASE to true)

###tag version in git

git tag -s v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)

###write release notes. git shortlog helps a lot, for example:

git shortlog --no-merges v(current version, e.g. 0.7.2)..v(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)

##perform gitian builds

From a directory containing the bitcoin source, gitian-builder and gitian.sigs

export SIGNER=(your gitian key, ie bluematt, sipa, etc)
export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
pushd ./bitcoin
git checkout v${VERSION}
popd
pushd ./gitian-builder

Build bitcoind and bitcoin-qt on Linux32, Linux64, and Win32:

./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION} --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-linux.yml
pushd build/out
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip *
mv bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip ../../../
popd
./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=v${VERSION} ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
./bin/gsign --signer $SIGNER --release ${VERSION}-win --destination ../gitian.sigs/ ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-descriptors/gitian-win.yml
pushd build/out
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip *
mv bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip ../../../
popd
popd

Build output expected:

  1. linux 32-bit and 64-bit binaries + source (bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip)
  2. windows 32-bit and 64-bit binaries + installer + source (bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip)
  3. Gitian signatures (in gitian.sigs/${VERSION}[-win]/(your gitian key)/

repackage gitian builds for release as stand-alone zip/tar/installer exe

Linux .tar.gz:

unzip bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip -d bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux
tar czvf bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux.tar.gz bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux
rm -rf bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux

Windows .zip and setup.exe:

unzip bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip -d bitcoin-${VERSION}-win
mv bitcoin-${VERSION}-win/bitcoin-*-setup.exe .
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-win.zip bitcoin-${VERSION}-win
rm -rf bitcoin-${VERSION}-win

Perform Mac build:

OSX binaries are created by Gavin Andresen on a 64-bit, OSX 10.6 machine.

./autogen.sh
    SDK=$(xcode-select --print-path)/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk
    CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.6 -isysroot $SDK" ./configure --enable-upnp-default
make
export QTDIR=/opt/local/share/qt4  # needed to find translations/qt_*.qm files
T=$(contrib/qt_translations.py $QTDIR/translations src/qt/locale)
    export CODESIGNARGS='--keychain ...path_to_keychain --sign "Developer ID Application: BITCOIN FOUNDATION, INC., THE"'
python2.7 contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus Bitcoin-Qt.app -sign -add-qt-tr $T -dmg -fancy contrib/macdeploy/fancy.plist

Build output expected: Bitcoin-Qt.dmg

###Next steps:

  • Code-sign Windows -setup.exe (in a Windows virtual machine using signtool) Note: only Gavin has the code-signing keys currently.

  • upload builds to SourceForge

  • create SHA256SUMS for builds, and PGP-sign it

  • update bitcoin.org version make sure all OS download links go to the right versions

  • update download sizes on bitcoin.org/_templates/download.html

  • update forum version

  • update wiki download links

  • update wiki changelog: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Changelog

Commit your signature to gitian.sigs:

pushd gitian.sigs
git add ${VERSION}/${SIGNER}
git add ${VERSION}-win/${SIGNER}
git commit -a
git push  # Assuming you can push to the gitian.sigs tree
popd

After 3 or more people have gitian-built, repackage gitian-signed zips:

From a directory containing bitcoin source, gitian.sigs and gitian zips

export VERSION=(new version, e.g. 0.8.0)
mkdir bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian
pushd bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian
unzip ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip
mkdir gitian
cp ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-downloader/*.pgp ./gitian/
for signer in $(ls ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/); do
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert.sig ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert.sig
done
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip *
cp bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip ../
popd
mkdir bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian
pushd bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian
unzip ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip
mkdir gitian
cp ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian-downloader/*.pgp ./gitian/
for signer in $(ls ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/); do
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert
 cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}-win/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert.sig ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert.sig
done
zip -r bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip *
cp bitcoin-${VERSION}-win-gitian.zip ../
popd
