It is unreasonable to ask to change the global package configuration
just to build a package. Not only that, this is potentially harmful to the system.
Also do a few punctuation fixes in REST-interface.md.
QT_NO_KEYWORDS prevents Qt from defining the `foreach`, `signals`,
`slots` and `emit` macros.
Avoid overlap between Qt macros and boost - for example #undef hackiness
in #6421.
0937290 doc: mention RPC random cookie authentication in release notes (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
71cbeaa rpc: Implement random-cookie based authentication (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
When no `-rpcpassword` is specified, use a special 'cookie' file for
authentication. This file is generated with random content when the
daemon starts, and deleted when it exits. Read access to this file
controls who can access through RPC. By default this file is stored in
the data directory but it be overriden with `-rpccookiefile`.
This is similar to Tor CookieAuthentication: see
https://www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en
Alternative to #6258. Like that pull, this allows running bitcoind
without any manual configuration. However, daemons should ideally never write to
their configuration files, so I prefer this solution.
This removes the `conflictedbalance.sh` test as well, but that test has
been broken for a long time and isn't part of any scripts.
What it does is, IMO, sufficiently tested by other tests.
9da8fc8 [QA] remove rawtransactions.py from the extended test list (Jonas Schnelli)
6ed38b0 [QA] fix possible reorg issue in rawtransaction.py/fundrawtransaction.py RPC test (Jonas Schnelli)
Add a function `ParseFixedPoint` that parses numbers according
to the JSON number specification and returns a 64-bit integer.
Then this in `AmountFromValue`, rather than `ParseMoney`.
Also add lots of tests (thanks to @jonasschnelli for some of them).
Fixes issue #6297.
I've never liked the chain-specific exception to having to set a
password. It gives issues with #6388 which makes it valid to
set no password in every case (as it enables random cookie authentication).
This pull removes the flag, so that all chains are regarded the same.
It also removes the username==password test, which doesn't provide any
substantial extra security.
In txn_clone.py, non-essential test transaction tx2 was asserted
to be unconfirmed, but would occasionally confirm depending on
network behavior. Fix by explicitly sharing with miner and
checking for 1 confirmation.
Reduce required conflict tests from 4 to 2, by moving one invocation
each of txn_clone.py and txn_doublespend.py to the extented test
section. This saves about 15 seconds per test run for me.
This allows users to specify, e.g. raise, the default timeout of 60
seconds. Some bitcoind instances, especially long running ones on slow
hardware, require a higher timeout for a clean shut down.
Also add a comment to bitcoind.openrc's 'retry=', since it is not
obvious from the variable name what it does.
