- TestPeerPromotionByTdOnBlock renamed and skipped for now test should pass iff if TD is updated based on an agreement - senders register in AddBlock, flag records if they are coming from newblock message (and therefore advertise their TD with the block) or block message (TODO: latter are stored on the cache and updated by checkTD call; protocol should also call AddBlock on newblock messages by non-best peers) - remove TD update from optional TD field in addBlock: this is no longer part of the eth protocol spec -> TODO: reflect in wiki - only initialise peer map if at least two

Build
Mist (GUI):
go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/mist
Geth (CLI):
go get github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/cmd/geth
As of POC-8, go-ethereum uses Godep to manage dependencies. Assuming you have your environment all set up, switch to the go-ethereum repository root folder, and build/install the executable you need:
Mist (GUI):
godep go build -v ./cmd/mist
Geth (CLI):
godep go build -v ./cmd/geth
Instead of build, you can use install which will also install the resulting binary.
For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please see the Wiki

Automated (dev) builds
Executables
Go Ethereum comes with several wrappers/executables found in
the cmd directory:
mistOfficial Ethereum Browser (ethereum GUI client)gethEthereum CLI (ethereum command line interface client)bootnoderuns a bootstrap node for the Discovery Protocolethtesttest tool which runs with the tests suite:cat file | ethtest.evmis a generic Ethereum Virtual Machine:evm -code 60ff60ff -gas 10000 -price 0 -dump. See-hfor a detailed description.disasmdisassembles EVM code:echo "6001" | disasmrlpdumpconverts a rlp stream tointerface{}.
Command line options
Both mist and geth can be configured via command line options, environment variables and config files.
To get the options available:
geth -help

Contribution
If you'd like to contribute to go-ethereum please fork, fix, commit and
send a pull request. Commits who do not comply with the coding standards
are ignored (use gofmt!). If you send pull requests make absolute sure that you
commit on the develop branch and that you do not merge to master.
Commits that are directly based on master are simply ignored.
For dependency management, we use godep. After installing with go get github.com/tools/godep, run godep restore to ensure that changes to other repositories do not break the build. To update a dependency version (for example, to include a new upstream fix), run go get -u <foo/bar> then godep update <foo/...>. To track a new dependency, add it to the project as normal than run godep save ./.... Changes to the Godeps folder: should be manually verified then commited.
To make life easier try git flow it sets this all up and streamlines your work flow.
