I am working on the following to create a stable build environment for
testers:
- Build bitcoin 4.0 source in Windows 7
- Create a package of the build dependencies, and upload to SF
- Write up instructions for the build process
x Build bitcoin 4.0 source in Ubuntu 11
- Create a package of the build dependencies, and upload to SF
- Write up instructions for the build process
I am also compiling a list of commits that need to be tested in both
environments. If you can think of any priority commits that need testing,
and/or have a test case for them - please link the pull request in a
response to https://github.com/alexwaters/bitcoin/issues/2
This is not a requirement for pull requests, but will help process the
important/easy ones a lot faster. I would love to discuss other ways of
prioritizing pull requests, but this seems like it can get the job done for
the time-being.

May we assume you're working with / building upon the existing gitian
build stuff?

When did it switch from 0.4 to 4.0?
I feel like the user-facing quality of the software should not be
over-emphasized when it really is very beta in quality.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4750.0 (a bit outdated, but it
should still work fine)

If the instructions were updated with fresh links/versions/etc, they
should work 100%.

No package needed, just apt-get the relevant packages?

doc/build-unix.txt is (though in some cases somewhat ubuntu-specific)
quite good IMHO.

If you are feeling lazy, I can convince jenkins.bluematt.me to churn out
windows and ubuntu builds almost identical to those that will come out
of gitian (ie the same build as the official release builds) if you
want.
Something like the current jenkins scripts could also be easily hacked
up to automatically sanity-test pull requests as they come in and catch
common errors (or just sanity failures).

I expect that I will make a lot of mistakes, and probably ask too many
questions - but I hope you can bear with me.
I've been trying to keep a low profile as I get better acquainted with the
project. I'm clearly in the company of some very smart people - and would
like to keep it that way.
I've tried to do my research on the main contributors, and it seems that
Matt is the only one to escape my Google stalking. If you have any questions
about my background - feel free to inquire.
It's difficult to ascertain what needs QA work first, so any guidance or
suggestion is appreciated. I'm available via social networks, email, phone,
fax?, IM, IRC, etc. Let me know your preference, or don't and I'll bugger
off.
I'll try to stay out of the way, and do my best to make the development
cycle easier. Let me know if I'm stepping on toes, or being annoying. I
won't be offended.
As for the commit testing, I want to have an idiot proof solution to get as
many people testing as possible (eventually). With code like this, I think
it's better to go full-auto with the ACKs.
