* Remove unused import of config to avoid select_backend db import
- Importing nimbus-eth1 config.nim causes import of select_backend
which will default cause an import of kvstore_rocksdb and thus a
require rocksdb. Remove unused one to avoid rocksdb dependency
for Fluffy.
- Remove some whitespace in bridge_client (to make fluffy CI
trigger for sure).
* Use specific cache keys for fluffy CI workflow
* Disable Fluffy CI reproducibility test
* 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
* Sharing block header data around in a Portal history network (PoC)
- Rework PortalStream to have an instance per PortalProtocol (this
needs to be improved eventually). Each instance uses the same
UtpDiscv5Protocol instance.
- Add processContent on receival of accepted data
- Add dumb neighborhoodGossip: dumb in the sense that it only
offers one piece of content at a time.
- Add to / adjust populate_db to also allow for propagation of
the data and add debug rpc call: portal_history_propagate
- Add eth_rpc_client
- Add eth_getBlockbyHash (no txs or uncles) to eth API
- Add additional test to test_portal_testnet which loads 5 block
headers to 1 node, and offers this data to few nodes, which should
propagate it over the network further. Next query every node for
this data.
* Adjust paths on which Fluffy CI is triggered
* Add documentation on the local testnet
* Redesign of BaseVMState descriptor
why:
BaseVMState provides an environment for executing transactions. The
current descriptor also provides data that cannot generally be known
within the execution environment, e.g. the total gasUsed which is
available not before after all transactions have finished.
Also, the BaseVMState constructor has been replaced by a constructor
that does not need pre-initialised input of the account database.
also:
Previous constructor and some fields are provided with a deprecated
annotation (producing a lot of noise.)
* Replace legacy directives in production sources
* Replace legacy directives in unit test sources
* fix CI (missing premix update)
* Remove legacy directives
* chase CI problem
* rebased
* Re-introduce 'AccountsCache' constructor optimisation for 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation
why:
Constructing a new 'AccountsCache' descriptor can be avoided sometimes
when the current state root is properly positioned already. Such a
feature existed already as the update function 'initStateDB()' for the
'BaseChanDB' where the accounts cache was linked into this desctiptor.
The function 'initStateDB()' was removed and re-implemented into the
'BaseVmState' constructor without optimisation. The old version was of
restricted use as a wrong accounts cache state would unconditionally
throw an exception rather than conceptually ask for a remedy.
The optimised 'BaseVmState' re-initialisation has been implemented for
the 'persistBlocks()' function.
also:
moved some test helpers to 'test/replay' folder
* Remove unused & undocumented fields from Chain descriptor
why:
Reduces attack surface in general & improves reading the code.
- Add basic discv5 and portal json-rpc calls and activate them in
fluffy
- Renames in the rpc folder
- Add local testnet script and run this script in CI
- bump nim-eth
* Provide PoA voting header generator
why:
Handy for hive/smoke test
details:
Header generator is a re-implementation of the generator previously
used for the canonical reference tests.
* try fixing ci out-of-mem condition
why:
for some reason, the ci began behaving like a real win7/i386 machine
where gcc is limited to 64k optimiser space
* fix comments, typos ..
With Whisper support gone, the wrappers cannot be built. More detail in the
patch that removes the wrappers.

Reverts part of commit 2539bd9 while keeping the intention of it:
To avoid duplicate CI runs when making and updating a PR.
Disabling `push` means we cannot push to a branch and see the CI results
directly without making a PR, which some of us use. There are many situations
where this is useful, and "[WIP]" PRs are not appropriate for all.
Disabling `pull_request` has a similar effect, removing duplicate CI.
It is known that `pull_request` _is_ needed when a third party sends a
PR (because it's not committed to the repo yet). But this is rare at the
moment, and there's a workaround: A committer can push the third party change
to a branch, triggering CI.
So re-enable `push`, disable `pull_request`, and we'll see if the latter
missing causes problems in practice. Won't know until we try it.
Note: This might be interim until `workflow_dispatch` is working better.
Perhaps that needs more configuration. Currently, `workflow_dispatch` is kind
of useless for CI tests, because it doesn't result in any CI indicator
associated with a commit or branch. Even the actions page doesn't show the
name of the branch, just a less-than-useful generic "CI" for these actions.

Files underneath `hive_integration` are not used to build anything,
so don't trigger CI when these files change.
Most of them are manually copied into Hive `hive/clients/nimbus`.
The rest are instructions and a standalone helper program not used by CI.

The CI takes a long time (sometimes hours) and shouldn't hold up
documentation-only commits. We may also find CI for other changes starts
faster, if we're not using up as many credits. When we process documentation
into something nicer (like `nimbus.guide`) we'll need to revisit this.

why:
vm2 enabled by ENABLE_VM2=1 behaves as vm without ENABLE_EVMC=1 until
it doesn't in some future fatch set. this leaves some wiggle room
to work on a vm copy without degrading the original implementation.
details:
+ additional make flag ENABLE_VM2=1 (or ENABLE_VM2=0 to explicitely disable)
+ when both flags ENABLE_EVMC=1 and ENABLE_VM2=1 are present, the former
flag ENABLE_EVMC=1 takes precedence, this is implemented at the NIM
compiler level for -d:evmc_enabled and -d:vm2_enabled
