lotus/build/actors

Bundles

This directory includes the actors bundles for each release. Each actor bundle is a zstd compressed tarfile containing one bundle per network type. These tarfiles are subsequently embedded in the lotus binary.

Updating

To update, run the ./pack.sh script. For example, the following will pack the builtin actors release dev/20220602 into the v8 tarfile.

./pack.sh v8 dev/20220602

This will:

1. Download the actors bundles and pack them into the appropriate tarfile ($VERSION.tar.zst).
2. Run make bundle-gen in the top-level directory to regenerate the bundle metadata file for all network versions (all *.tar.zst files in this directory).

Overriding

To build a bundle, but specify a different release/tag for a specific network, append $network=$alternative_release on the command line. For example:

./pack.sh v8 dev/20220602 mainnet=v8.0.0 calibrationnet=v8.0.0-rc.1
