-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~ Genesis. ~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The point of this seemingly strange item is to harmonize the orchestra such that EVERYTHING becomes a vpatch. Including the origin of the universe. And so, this apparatus creates, from a vacuum, the universe previously seen in 'chicken' [1] for use with 'v' versioning system. [2] The result is attached, 'genesis.patch'. But you are expected to VERIFY using the old 'chicken.' Here is how: 1) Obtain [3] 0.5.3 [Origin Codebase] SHA256: aab1f8ea8c7f131ff69dfa3b9437ba35531018be760132dd6373f41a591f6382 ... and extract it to a directory. Everything else shall be done there. 2) Obtain bitcoin-0.5.3-no-crud.sha256.manifest sha512:29ee0f488fcc253cc80b85059ef7f248bbd9bd60931f68cc22763e6f355ec206c584bd2f864dffb8659e536e97fa74a3b55d7d77afe2f62d8b2ae0e3e58bcca0 also from [3]. 3) genesis.sh: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #!/bin/bash mkdir a; mkdir -p ./b/bitcoin; cd bitcoin-bitcoin-a8def6b; for i in `cut -d ' ' -f 3- ../bitcoin-0.5.3-no-crud.sha256.manifest`; do cp --parents $i ../b/bitcoin; done cd ..; vdiff a b > genesis.vpatch ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4) Naturally, ./genesis.sh And of course vdiff.sh (Get it from [2]) is in your path, right? 5) Diff your genesis.vpatch with mine. (attached) 6) When satisfied, gpg (armoured, detached .sig) the genesis.vpatch. 7) Post your (6) to therealbitcoin mailing list! 8) Try to understand what we did here, and why. From now on, any 'v' action which produces a tree, shall begin with applying genesis.vpatch to an empty space... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [1] http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2014-October/000003.html [2] http://therealbitcoin.org/ml/btc-dev/2015-August/000146.html [3] http://thebitcoin.foundation/v0.5.3-0-gd05c03a.tar.gz Or from your own disk! (best). Or from your WoT. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJV1St8AAoJELmCKKABq//HCUEH+wcyfEG/lZnVZ/XXMxmBq7nm LfR6AvpiM65IZmwYqIIep90VubILpi1egcHBApFDft+JNu7Aus7G1xI1b0YV/GWp FdaEiuVNiq89R7AwUqWwk2TS7tk1GHHFBtHHTFpvIEpg8wV1GkGB0jfMFgcnXkSg cur18zqOLvyNFgmSs0n07qlbzSJVfr6o4CAETV7mIaTNM4IlURrC/PEr9tY00GX9 AFMrikO2o3Ka2pcpZ/dvxJEPdjpnSUulHnmY8aDQ9BTNe6G/36NOfKcUHFbxEgTy 0VKOrs4bWtDB+yOz+URSjggt47lcWSd4h8nh+wSZqRC51kIvfl8BtqK05UCUHKA= =yJaN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
