- could not find a single project that still actually cares about bip70 [0]
- well except maybe BitPay.
- but I cannot test with BitPay:
- they have a testnet3 staging environment on test.bitpay.com
- but the SSL cert they use for bip70 has expired in 2021
- the webUI probably also has not been updated since then...
- they claim to have added LN support in 2022 in a blog post,
but it's not there on test.bitpay.com
- on mainnet, they require KYC before payment
- < ... angry noises >
- their loss then, I don't care.
- this is code that no one wants to maintain
- this does not yet delete the signed bip70 payment data for historical txs
- but it is no longer possible to export it from the GUI

Extend "create new user to avoid using root" copypasta to support being run as root
(ARG UID=0).
When running build.sh directly on a cirrus CI runner, we are running as root.
from https://stackoverflow.com/a/69088164
I am trying to run the build.sh scripts directly on a cirrus CI runner, and "docker run -it" is erroring due to lack of a tty.
- this merges `contrib/deterministic-build/locale` and `electrum/locale`
- it is now once again possible have translations when running from a local git clone
- which was already possible in the past before crowdin removed their unauthenticated APIs
- see https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/9531
- however, the translations available are the often-old frozen strings from electrum-locale
- while previously one could just download the latest strings from crowdin
- debian 11 only has python 3.9, deb12 has py3.11
- pip install pip is no longer needed, atm apt has new enough pip
- and on deb12, started getting "error: externally-managed-environment"
- faketime does not seem to work properly on debian 12
(getting reproducibility issues for the tarball)
- so instead we untar, fix the timestamps manually, and re-tar
- repro builds to use fixed uid=1000 inside the container
- in case the file permissions leak into the binaries, they are still reproducible
- chown 1000:1000 fresh_clone
- repro builds to create fresh_clone dir outside git clone
- otherwise the local dev build would still interact with the fresh_clone dir
- due to e.g. recursive "find -exec touch",
- and even the "docker build" cmd itself would try to stat/read it
- see https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/380
- and "rm -rf fresh_clone" needs sudo if the host uid is not 1000
- this way the local dev build does not need sudo
to recap:
- local dev builds use the host userid inside the container, directly operate on the project dir
- does not need sudo
- repro builds create a fresh git clone, chown it to 1000, and use userid=1000 inside the container
- if the host userid is 1000, does not need sudo
- otherwise, needs sudo
closes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/8261
reproducibility probably needs a hardcoded userid
Also, move the UID arg later in the dockerfiles, for better caching.
(if local dev build and repro build set different UIDs, the build caches
will diverge at that step)
The .dockerignore symlink in the project root dir is only picked up by the android build.
The android build has the project root as its build context for "docker build" --
the other builds have their own subdirectories as build context, e.g. contrib/build-linux/appimage.
This includes two logically separate changes:
- on the host, try not to require sudo when running the build scripts
- namely when interacting with the docker daemon, this requires
the unix user on the host to be part of the `docker` group
- this solves part of https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/7602
- while running inside the docker containers, do not run as root
- this means that e.g. files created in mounted folders should
no longer be owned by root on the host
- there is some code duplication involved here - not sure
how it could be deduped.
maybe fixes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/7640
Looks like by default pip is ignoring the locally available setuptools and wheel,
and downloading the latest ones from the internet at build time...

> When making build requirements available, pip does so in an isolated environment. That is, pip does not install those requirements into the user’s site-packages, but rather installs them in a temporary directory which it adds to the user’s sys.path for the duration of the build. This ensures that build requirements are handled independently of the user’s runtime environment. For example, a project that needs a recent version of setuptools to build can still be installed, even if the user has an older version installed (and without silently replacing that version).

> In certain cases, projects (or redistributors) may have workflows that explicitly manage the build environment. For such workflows, build isolation can be problematic. If this is the case, pip provides a --no-build-isolation flag to disable build isolation. Users supplying this flag are responsible for ensuring the build environment is managed appropriately (including ensuring that all required build dependencies are installed).
If only it were that easy!
If we add the "--no-build-isolation" flag, it becomes our responsibility to install *all* build time deps,
hence we now have "requirements-build-makepackages.txt".
The `git clean --dry-run` became redundant with "fresh clone" builds.
The new exclude in MANIFEST.in should not affect production builds (also due to fresh clone),
but they are nice when building from dirty local dir.
