Haven't checked if electrum-ecc compiles libsecp reproducibly.
For now let's just keep the old flow.
(but if we spent time on making that compilation reproducible,
the appimage and the macos builds could use it directly)
- repro builds to use fixed uid=1000 inside the container
- in case the file permissions leak into the binaries, they are still reproducible
- chown 1000:1000 fresh_clone
- repro builds to create fresh_clone dir outside git clone
- otherwise the local dev build would still interact with the fresh_clone dir
- due to e.g. recursive "find -exec touch",
- and even the "docker build" cmd itself would try to stat/read it
- see https://github.com/docker/for-linux/issues/380
- and "rm -rf fresh_clone" needs sudo if the host uid is not 1000
- this way the local dev build does not need sudo
to recap:
- local dev builds use the host userid inside the container, directly operate on the project dir
- does not need sudo
- repro builds create a fresh git clone, chown it to 1000, and use userid=1000 inside the container
- if the host userid is 1000, does not need sudo
- otherwise, needs sudo
closes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/8261
reproducibility probably needs a hardcoded userid
Also, move the UID arg later in the dockerfiles, for better caching.
(if local dev build and repro build set different UIDs, the build caches
will diverge at that step)
The .dockerignore symlink in the project root dir is only picked up by the android build.
The android build has the project root as its build context for "docker build" --
the other builds have their own subdirectories as build context, e.g. contrib/build-linux/appimage.
note: python 3.9.x is now in source-only mode, so could not update to latest...
it is time to investigate upgrading to python 3.10 in the win and mac binaries
fixes https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/8011
> Upgraded from Appimage 4.1.5 to 4.3.2 on MX-Linux 19.

debian 10 only distributes libxcb-util0.
debian 11 distributes libxcb-util1.
our base image atm is debian 10, so we build the package from source.
This reverts commit 0c2a885c66.
Reverting for now due to reproducibility issues:
```
error: /Users/vagrant/Downloads/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/codesign_allocate: can't open file: /tmp/electrum_compare_dmg/signed_app/Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/libffi.8.dylib (No such file or directory)
```
`Electrum.app/Contents/MacOS/libffi.8.dylib` is included when building on one machine, but missing on the other...
Will have to investigate later.
