..::[ The Bitcoin Foundation: v0.5.4-TEST2 & Call For Testers ]::..
[ Date: 2015.08.01 ]
[ Co-Chairs: mod6 [R.01] && ben_vulpes [R.02] ]
0x00] Introduction
The Bitcoin Foundation has a pre-patched codebase available and ready for
general testing. This is NOT a release bundle and should not be used in
any production environment.
We need as much help testing as we can get. If you would like to help us,
please follow the steps below. Thanks in advance.
0x01] Call for Testers
The Bitcoin Foundation is looking to test the latest patch set applied on top
of the v0.5.3.1-RELEASE codebase. We would like to test the following
environments and scenarios:
Gentoo [x86-64/glibc]
Ubuntu 14.04 [x86-64]: Please record your steps and any packages you need.
Ubuntu 10.04 [x86-64]: [ See section 0x031 ]
Debian 6 [x86-64]:
Debian 7 [x86-64]
Debian 8.X [x86-64]
Scenarios:
full blockchain sync with -connect
full blockchain sync with -addnode
For -connect you may use the IP addresses of any of the following:
dulap.b-a.link => 195.211.154.159
zoolag.b-a.link => 96.241.120.166
Your execution of the compiled static bitcoind should be simiar to this:
./bitcoind -myip=A.B.C.D -connect=195.211.154.159 &
If required, please read the links in the reference section below to the
patch emails themselves to gain a deeper understanding of what each patch
does.
The above is generally what is needed for testing for the patch bundle;
however, the more testing the better. Feel free to stop into #bitcoin-assets
and ask mod6 if you need some direction. We're glad to get your help!

0x03] How do I build it?
0x031: [ Ubuntu 10.04 Build Notes ]
** Install base system Ubuntu 10.04
** No Automatic Updates
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential
sudo apt-get install -y libboost-python-dev
sudo apt-get install -y realpath
sudo apt-get install -y curl
[ NOTE ]:
This patched test bundle contains a stator.sh build script that is only
configured at this time to build for x86-64 arch.
If you wish to help test, download the archive [R.10] and signature
file [R.11] attached to this message to a Linux environment.
First, get mod6's pubkey:
`gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-keys 0x721705A8B71EADAF`
Next, verify the archive signature:
`gpg --verify bitcoin-v0_5_4-TEST2.tar.gz.sig`
Check the sha256 checksum:
`sha256sum bitcoin-v0_5_4-TEST2.tar.gz`
Should equal:
8b131729ca73010b6c776bfc217493e8ebec293bd6c21cbce7092ae0a33d9f80
Extract the package:
`tar -xf bitcoin-v0_5_4-TEST2.tar.gz`
Read the contained `README.txt' file. [ Contains instructions. ]
Set executable bit on `stator.sh':
`chmod 0755 stator.sh`
Finally, build:
`./stator.sh`
