The consistency is helpful for gauging Gitian build progress. Right now it's necessary to remember which platform builds in which order, which can be confusing if you're attempting to get a quick idea of how far along your builds are.
This removes the following executables from the binary gitian release:
- test_bitcoin-qt[.exe]
- bench_bitcoin[.exe]
@jonasschnelli and me discussed this on IRC a few days ago - unlike the
normal `bitcoin_tests` which is useful to see if it is safe to run
bitcoin on a certain OS/environment combination, there is no good reason
to include these. Better to leave them out to reduce the download
size.
Sizes from the 0.12 release:
```
2.4M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/bench_bitcoin.exe
22M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/test_bitcoin-qt.exe
```
Github-Pull: #7776
Rebased-From: f063863d1f
- fix parsing of BIND_NOW with older readelf
- add _IO_stdin_used to ignored exports
For details see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=634261#109
- add check-symbols and check-security make targets
These are not added to the default checks because some of them depend on
release-build configs.
- always link librt for glibc back-compat builds
glibc absorbed clock_gettime in 2.17. librt (its previous location) is safe to
link in anyway for back-compat.
Fixes#7420
- add security/symbol checks to gitian

These are changes I needed to get gitian building to work with Debian
8.2, which is the version we tell to use.
- Set up NAT, so that container can access network beyond host
- Remove explicit cgroup setup - these are mounted automatically now
- gitian: Need `ca-certificates` and `python` for LXC builds

Common sentiment is that the miniupnpc codebase likely contains further
vulnerabilities.
I'd prefer to get rid of the dependency completely, but a compromise for
now is to at least disable it by default.
Rather than fetching a signature.tar.gz from somewhere on the net, instruct
Gitian to use a signature from a tag in the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository
which corresponds to the tag of the release being built.
This changes detached-sig-apply.sh to take a dirname rather than a tarball as
an argument, though detached-sig-create.sh still outputs a tarball for
convenience.
For Gitian releases:
- Windows builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ was already linked statically.
- OSX builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ is tied to the SDK and not worth
messing with.
- Linux builds now statically link libstdc++.
For Travis:
- Match the previous behavior by adding --enable-reduce-exports as
necessary.
- Use static libstdc++ for the full Linux build.
Since permissions and timestamps are changed for the sake of determinism,
. must not be added to the archive. Otherwise, tar may try to modify pwd when
extracting.
Descriptors now make use of the dependencies builder, so results are cached.
A very new version (>= e9741525c) of Gitian should be used in order to take
advantage of caching.

Just in case - there is no vulnerability that affects ecdsa signing or
verification.
The MITM attack vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) may have some effect on
our usage of SSL/TLS.
As long as payment requests are signed (which is the common case), usage
of the payment protocol should also not be affected.
The TLS usage in RPC may be at risk for MITM attacks. If you have
`-rpcssl` enabled, be sure to update OpenSSL as soon as possible.
A qt installation date snuck into the host utils (lrelease etc)
This doesn't affect the end product, so no dependency version bump.
It also doesn't explain why gavin's and mine build is different
