993aa414d3 scripted-diff: gitian: Use REFERENCE_DATETIME directly. (Carl Dong) Pull request description: Fixes regression introduced by #16141. ``` -BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT- sed -i 's#\$REFERENCE_DATE\\\\\\ \$REFERENCE_TIME#\$REFERENCE_DATETIME#g' contrib/gitian-descriptors/* -END VERIFY SCRIPT- ``` ----- Note that this could have been fixed by escaping properly, but using `REFERENCE_DATETIME` directly is simpler. Future note: `REFERENCE_{DATE{,DATETIME},TIME}` is a bit ridiculous. At the very _least_ gitian should use epoch, as it is the most parse-able, and preferably set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. ACKs for commit 993aa4: Tree-SHA512: 8457e5fffde66e1d2b846547b6807416b884c171f63569f76dfefd498d2a58ad6f9eb93931eb6cfc7ff38c6b460b0c488ca87d1a68bc630c48f365a74b6ee163 |

Gavin's notes on getting Gitian builds up and running using KVM
These instructions distilled from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation.
You need the right hardware: you need a 64-bit-capable CPU with hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-x or AMD-V). Not all modern CPUs support hardware virtualization.
You probably need to enable hardware virtualization in your machine's BIOS.
You need to be running a recent version of 64-bit-Ubuntu, and you need to install several prerequisites:
sudo apt-get install ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder qemu-kvm
Sanity checks:
sudo service apt-cacher-ng status # Should return apt-cacher-ng is running
ls -l /dev/kvm # Should show a /dev/kvm device
Once you've got the right hardware and software:
git clone git://github.com/dashpay/dash.git
git clone git://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git
mkdir gitian-builder/inputs
cd gitian-builder/inputs
# Create base images
cd gitian-builder
bin/make-base-vm --suite bionic --arch amd64
cd ..
# Get inputs (see doc/release-process.md for exact inputs needed and where to get them)
...
# For further build instructions see doc/release-process.md
...
gitian-builder now also supports building using LXC. See
help.ubuntu.com
for how to get LXC up and running under Ubuntu.
If your main machine is a 64-bit Mac or PC with a few gigabytes of memory
and at least 10 gigabytes of free disk space, you can gitian-build using
LXC running inside a virtual machine.
Here's a description of Gavin's setup on OSX 10.6:
-
Download and install VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/
-
Download the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS .iso CD image from http://www.ubuntu.com/
-
Run VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine, using the Ubuntu .iso (see the VirtualBox documentation for details). Create it with at least 2 gigabytes of memory and a disk that is at least 20 gigabytes big.
-
Inside the running Ubuntu desktop, install:
sudo apt-get install debootstrap lxc ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder -
Still inside Ubuntu, tell gitian-builder to use LXC, then follow the "Once you've got the right hardware and software" instructions above:
export USE_LXC=1 git clone git://github.com/dashpay/dash.git ... etc
