This migrates everything except the `go-car` librairy: https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/issues/218#issuecomment-1529922103
I didn't migrated everything in the previous release because all the boxo code wasn't compatible with the go-ipld-prime one due to a an in flight (/ aftermath) revert of github.com/ipfs/go-block-format. go-block-format has been unmigrated since slight bellow absolutely everything depends on it that would have required everything to be moved on boxo or everything to optin into using boxo which were all deal breakers for different groups.
This worked fine because lotus's codebase could live hapely on the first multirepo setup however boost is now trying to use boxo's code with lotus's (still on multirepo) setup: https://filecoinproject.slack.com/archives/C03AQ3QAUG1/p1685022344779649
The alternative would be for boost to write shim types which just forward calls and return with the different interface definitions.
Btw why is that an issue in the first place is because unlike what go's duck typing model suggest interfaces are not transparent https://github.com/golang/go/issues/58112, interfaces are strongly typed but they have implicit narrowing. The issue is if you return an interface from an interface Go does not have a function definition to insert the implicit conversion thus instead the type checker complains you are not returning the right type.
Stubbing types were reverted https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/issues/218#issuecomment-1478650351
Last time I only migrated `go-bitswap` to `boxo/bitswap` because of the security issues and because we never had the interface return an interface problem (we had concrete wrappers where the implicit conversion took place).
This reverts commit 8b2208fd9a, reversing
changes made to 2db6b12b78.
Unfortunately, this is rather tricky code. We've found several issues so
far and, while we've fixed a few, there are outstanding issues that
would require complex fixes we don't have time to tackle right now.
Luckily, this code isn't actually needed by the main Filecoin chain
which relies on consensus fault reporting to handle equivocation. So we
can just try again later.
The type of extra data in go-legs gossip is bytes. But when it is parsed
as miner ID, it is cast to string then parsed. Instead, it should be
decoded from bytes.
Content providers announce the availability of indexer data using gossip pubsub. The content providers are not connected directly to indexers, so the pubsub messages are relayed to indexers via chain nodes. This PR makes chain nodes relay gossip pubsub messages, on the /indexer/ingest/<netname> topic.
