Merge #18556: build: Drop make dist in gitian builds

1362be044724bb49d785ca2e296a3b43343c1690 build: Drop make dist in gitian builds (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  After the merge of #18331, the packaged source tarball is created by `git archive`, but the binaries are built from another one which is made by `make dist`.

  With this PR the only source tarball, created by `git archive`, is used both for binaries building and for packaging to users.

  Close #16588.
  Close #18547.

  As a good side-effect, #18349 becomes redundant.

  **Change in behavior**

  The following variables 1b151e3ffc/configure.ac (L2-L6)

  are no longer used for naming of directories and tarballs.

  Instead of them the gitian descriptors use a git tag (if available) or a commit hash.

  Also a small refactor commit picked from #18404.

    ACK 2aa48edec0101f8a77a2189244fc62722ff7a123 - I've had a quick look over this, and don't want to block merging if this actually gets as closer to finally having this all sorted out. Obviously we've still got #18741, and after speaking to Carl this morning, there will likely be even more changes after that (not Guix specific).

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:

  1. Download and install VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/

  2. Download the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS .iso CD image from http://www.ubuntu.com/

  3. 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.

  4. Inside the running Ubuntu desktop, install:

     sudo apt-get install debootstrap lxc ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder
    
  5. 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
