This message is to announce a new, offline, build script for The Bitcoin
Reference Implementation.

Attached are two files (with their corresponding signatures):

build-bitcoind-offline-V99999.sh
81fc52d3e7d4b92f8a02935e42d0f932480320d47dbc20bea8b3c2930da782598338e31125d2cfd0f3c24a74d33f6d42d8784b84956705511f208728a52c6342

and

OFFLINE_BUILD_HOWTO.txt
cc99cf4d1c467a512d41cfd6db3ce024b5799b59eaf948952552e6c85552a416755fea0f7f5a9c9103e40e78f233cd99014d855af25c6acfb999de716cab957c

===========================================================================

First and foremost, this offline build script is different then the original
build script you may have seen or used before.  Be aware of this.  This is also
why the versioning number starts at 99999.  In implementation, they may look
similar; however, they are two different scripts.

The idea is to empower users to create a completely offline build; where no
dependencies are remotely fetched, and no internet connection required.  All of
the build dependencies are placed on the local file system prior to script
execution.

To achieve this, please follow the steps in the attached OFFLINE_BUILD_HOWTO.txt
guide.  It will inform you of the required directory structure that must be in
place, and the necessary artifacts along with their required placement in the
file system.

Before you embark on this build process, please take the time to read the HOWTO
document at least once to get an idea of the process involved.

The HOWTO document leaves out certain procedures on purpose, as these are left
up to the user to decide.  i.e. There are not prepared `curl` or `wget`
statements; the URLs to the required artifacts are included, as well as the
expected file name for these artifacts.  It is meant for ~you~, the user, to
determine the most trust worthy source and manner in which you retrieve these
required artifacts.

Enjoy,
mod6
