We have decided to bump the requirement to Go 1.7 because it enables
subtests and allows dropping backwards-compatibility code. This is in
line with Go's support policy. Go 1.6 and earlier no longer receive
security updates.
The Android NDK was recently removed from gomobile, leading to our Android
builds failing. Starting from https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/35173/ ,
gomobile requires a locally installed NDK. This PR ensures that travis installs
that too before running the build steps.
NSIS has a default MAX_STR_LEN of 1024. If $ENV{PATH} is longer
the returned string is truncated to an empty string. Its then not
possible to distinguis between the variable not set or too long.
As a result the variable is set with the location where geth and/or
dev tools are installed. This may override any previous set values.
* build: modify the iOS namespace to iGeth (gomobile limitation)
* mobile: assign names to return types for ObjC wrapper
* mobile: use more expanded names for iOS/Swift API
ci.go decides whether a build is unstable by looking at the branch and
tag. This causes issues when a GitHub release is created on the master
branch because the build is considered unstable (the CI environment
reports the branch as "master").
Fix this by looking at the tag only. Any tagged build is stable.
This commit converts the dependency management from Godeps to the vendor
folder, also switching the tool from godep to trash. Since the upstream tool
lacks a few features proposed via a few PRs, until those PRs are merged in
(if), use github.com/karalabe/trash.
You can update dependencies via trash --update.
All dependencies have been updated to their latest version.
Parts of the build system are reworked to drop old notions of Godeps and
invocation of the go vet command so that it doesn't run against the vendor
folder, as that will just blow up during vetting.
The conversion drops OpenCL (and hence GPU mining support) from ethash and our
codebase. The short reasoning is that there's noone to maintain and having
opencl libs in our deps messes up builds as go install ./... tries to build
them, failing with unsatisfied link errors for the C OpenCL deps.
golang.org/x/net/context is not vendored in. We expect it to be fetched by the
user (i.e. using go get). To keep ci.go builds reproducible the package is
"vendored" in build/_vendor.
This commit tweaks the debian packaging tool:
* All build environment metadata can now be overriden on the command
line. This allows testing the CI build behaviour locally.
* -unstable packages now actually contain the binaries (oops)
* packages use Go 1.7 to build
* archiving is skipped for PR builds
