This is mostly a backport of some of the same modifications made in
Decred along with a few additional things cleaned up. In particular,
this updates the code to make use of the new chainhash package.
Also, since this required API changes anyways and the hash algorithm is
no longer tied specifically to SHA, all other functions throughout the
code base which had "Sha" in their name have been changed to Hash so
they are not incorrectly implying the hash algorithm.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Remove the wire.ShaHash type
- Update all references to wire.ShaHash to the new chainhash.Hash type
- Rename the following functions and update all references:
- wire.BlockHeader.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.TxShas -> TxHashes
- wire.MsgTx.TxSha -> TxHash
- blockchain.ShaHashToBig -> HashToBig
- peer.ShaFunc -> peer.HashFunc
- Rename all variables that included sha in their name to include hash
instead
- Update for function name changes in other dependent packages such as
btcutil
- Update copyright dates on all modified files
- Update glide.lock file to use the required version of btcutil
This converts the project to allow btcd to be used with the glide
package manager in order to provide stable and reproducible builds
without the user having to jump through all of the hoops as they do
today.
It consists of adding a glide.yaml file which identifies the project
dependencies and locations along with a glide.lock file which contains
the complete dependency tree pinned to specific versions. Glide uses
these files to download the packages (or updates) to a local vendor
directory and checkout the correct pinned versions. The go tool, in
turn, is used to build/install btcd and will use the pinned versions in
the vendor directory.
This also updates TravisCI to build using glide, removes some of the
exceptions in the lint checks which are no longer required, and updates
the README.md with the new instructions needed to build the project with
glide.
