This adds support for building statically-linked executables using ci.go.
Static linking is enabled by default in Docker builds, making it possible to
use the geth executable in any Docker image, regardless of the Linux
distribution the Dockerfile is based on.

This PR cleans up the CI build system and fixes a couple of issues.
- The go tool launcher code has been moved to internal/build. With the new
toolchain functions, the environment of the host Go (i.e. the one that built
ci.go) and the target Go (i.e. the toolchain downloaded by -dlgo) are isolated
more strictly. This is important to make cross compilation and -dlgo work
correctly in more cases.
- The -dlgo option now skips the download and uses the host Go if the running Go
version matches dlgoVersion exactly.
- The 'test' command now supports -dlgo, -cc and -arch. Running unit tests with
foreign GOARCH is occasionally useful. For example, it can be used to run
32-bit tests on Windows. It can also be used to run darwin/amd64 tests on
darwin/arm64 using Rosetta 2.
- The 'aar', 'xcode' and 'xgo' commands now use a slightly different method to
install external tools. They previously used `go get`, but this comes with the
annoying side effect of modifying go.mod. They now use `go install` instead,
which is the recommended way of installing tools without modifying the local
module.
- The old build warning about outdated Go version has been removed because we're
much better at keeping backwards compatibility now.
This new flag downloads a known version of Go and builds with it. This
is meant for environments where we can't easily upgrade the installed Go
version.
* .travis.yml: remove install step for PR test builders
We added this step originally to avoid re-building everything
for every test. go test has become much smarter in recent go
releases, so we no longer need to install anything here.
* build: remove env.sh
This removes the dirty symlink-to-self hack we've had for years. The
script was added to enable building without GOPATH and did that job
reliably for all this time. We can remove the workaround because modern
Go supports building without GOPATH natively.
* Makefile: add GO111MODULE=on to environment
Most of these changes are related to the Go 1.13 changes to test binary
flag handling.
* cmd/geth: make attach tests more reliable
This makes the test wait for the endpoint to come up by polling
it instead of waiting for two seconds.
* tests: fix test binary flags for Go 1.13
Calling flag.Parse during package initialization is prohibited
as of Go 1.13 and causes test failures. Call it in TestMain instead.
* crypto/ecies: remove useless -dump flag in tests
* p2p/simulations: fix test binary flags for Go 1.13
Calling flag.Parse during package initialization is prohibited
as of Go 1.13 and causes test failures. Call it in TestMain instead.
* build: remove workaround for ./... vendor matching
This workaround was necessary for Go 1.8. The Go 1.9 release changed
the expansion rules to exclude vendored packages.
* Makefile: use relative path for GOBIN
This makes the "Run ./build/bin/..." line look nicer.
* les: fix test binary flags for Go 1.13
Calling flag.Parse during package initialization is prohibited
as of Go 1.13 and causes test failures. Call it in TestMain instead.
* add-date-to unstable
* fields-insteadof-split
* internal/build: support building with missing git
* docker: add git history back to support commit date in version
* internal/build: use PR commits hashes for PR builds
* build: add support for different package and binary names
* build: bump up copyright date
* build: change default PackageName to empty string
* build, internal, swarm: enhance build/release process
* build: hack ethereum-swarm as a "depends" in deb package
* build/ci: remove redundant variables
* build, cmd, mobile, params, swarm: remove VERSION file; rename Version to VersionMeta;
* internal: remove VERSION() method which reads VERSION file
* build: fix VersionFilePath to Version
* Makefile: remove clean_go_build_cache.sh until it works
* Makefile: revert removal of clean_go_build_cache.sh
* .dockerignore, internal/build: Read git information directly from file
This commit changes the way of retrieving git commit and branch for build
environment from running git command to reading git files directly.
This commit also adds required git files into Docker build context.
fixes: #15346
* .dockerignore: workaround for including some files in .git
There is no need to depend on the old context package now that the
minimum Go version is 1.7. The move to "context" eliminates our weird
vendoring setup. Some vendored code still uses golang.org/x/net/context
and it is now vendored in the normal way.
This change triggered new vet checks around context.WithTimeout which
didn't fire with golang.org/x/net/context.
I didn't add this initially because the command I tried was too slow.
The 'git for-each-ref ...' invocation takes 40ms on my machine. That
ought to be acceptable.
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
The new build script, ci.go, replaces some of the older shell scripts.
ci.go can compile go-ethereum, run the tests, create release archives
and debian source packages.
