* dist: precompiled binaries and Docker images
The builds are reproducible, the binaries are portable and statically link librocksdb.
This took some patching. Upstream PR: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9752
32-bit ARM is missing as a target because two different GCC versions
fail with an ICE when trying to cross-compile RocksDB. Using Clang
instead is too much trouble for a platform that nobody should be using
anyway.
(Clang doesn't come with its own target headers and libraries, can't be
easily convinced to use the ones from GCC, so it needs an fs image from
a 32-bit ARM distro - at which point I stopped caring).
* CI: disable reproducibility test
Includes a simple test harness for the merge interop M1 milestone
This aims to enable connecting nimbus-eth2 to nimbus-eth1 within
the testing protocol described here:
https://github.com/status-im/nimbus-eth2/blob/amphora-merge-interop/docs/interop_merge.md
To execute the work-in-progress test, please run:
In terminal 1:
tests/amphora/launch-nimbus.sh
In terminal 2:
tests/amphora/check-merge-test-vectors.sh
why:
* easy browsing of prototype docs, allows to follow links with
a web browser on the local file system
* some md & png files may contain additional documentation
overview:
* separate nimbus/makefile, try "make -C nimbus" for instructions
* running "make -C nimbus docs" will do the job
* x-ref file in nimbus/docs/theindex.html
* additional md and png files in nimbus/docs/ex/.. subdirectory
details:
* a newer nim compiler provides better referencing when available, in
particular the back link to the indices are not provided by the 1.2.10
nim compiler (automatically handled by makefile)
* make patterns are used to update files only when the timestamp changes
* should provide "discount" markdown generator, otherwise fallback
to <pre/> encapsulated text file
