All client version information is moved to version.cpp, which optionally (-DHAVE_BUILD_INFO) includes build.h. build.h is automatically generated on supporting platforms via contrib/genbuild.sh, using git describe. The git export-subst attribute is used to put the commit id statically in version.cpp inside generated archives, and this value is used if no build.h is present. The gitian descriptors are modified to use git archive instead of a copy, to create the src/ directory in the output. This way, src/src/version.cpp will contain the static commit id. To prevent gitian builds from getting the "-dirty" marker in their git-describe generated identifiers, no touching of files or running sed on the makefile is performed anymore. This does not seem to influence determinism.
Gavin's notes on getting gitian builds up and running:
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 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/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
git clone git://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git
mkdir gitian-builder/inputs
wget 'http://miniupnp.tuxfamily.org/files/download.php?file=miniupnpc-1.6.tar.gz' -O gitian-builder/inputs/miniupnpc-1.6.tar.gz
cd gitian-builder
bin/make-base-vm --arch i386
bin/make-base-vm --arch amd64
cd ..
# To build
cd bitcoin
git pull
cd ../gitian-builder
git pull
./bin/gbuild --commit bitcoin=HEAD ../bitcoin/contrib/gitian.yml
