7587d11ec959f15f469bd396d4ad2697729b4ccd build: remove cdrkit package from depends (fanquake) 0df98191268fe641dd5d12e3a9f517c0c5cfacdd build: Replace genisoimage with xorriso (fanquake) 22437fc72e78ba3845a3953853d40093de32c395 build: Run libdmg-hfsplus's DMG tool in make deploy (Carl Dong) Pull request description: This is a redo of fanquake's https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18151, which, aside from switching us from the deprecated `genisoimage` to the maintained `xorriso`, is also necessary for Guix to achieve determinism without using faketime. > xorriso and its mkisofs/genisoimage emulation alter-ego xorrisofs are > more maintained, and has the right toggles for us to achieve output > determinism without using blunt tools like faketime. > > In this commit, we use xorrisofs from the build environment rather than > building it ourselves using depends. This is not necessary and can be > changed in the future. > > From wiki.debian.org/genisoimage?action=recall&rev=11 : > > > The classical command line interface for production of ISO 9660 > > filesystem images is the option set established by program mkisofs. > > For reasons of licensing and other problems with its author, Debian > > ships a fork of mkisofs, called genisoimage, which was split off in > > 2006 and then developed independently. > > > > Meanwhile, genisoimage gets no new features and not even bug fixes.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
