This changes the CI build to store the git commit and date into package
internal/version instead of package main. Doing this essentially merges our
two ways of tracking the go-ethereum version into a single place, achieving
two objectives:
- Bad block reports, which use version.Info(), will now have the git commit
information even when geth is built in an environment such as
launchpad.net where git access is unavailable.
- For geth builds created by `go build ./cmd/geth` (i.e. not using `go run
build/ci.go install`), git information stored by the go tool is now used
in the p2p node name as well as in `geth version` and `geth
version-check`.
This change updates our urfave/cli dependency to the v2 branch of the library.
There are some Go API changes in cli v2:
- Flag values can now be accessed using the methods ctx.Bool,
ctx.Int, ctx.String, ... regardless of whether the flag is 'local' or
'global'.
- v2 has built-in support for flag categories. Our home-grown category
system is removed and the categories of flags are assigned as part of
the flag definition.
For users, there is only one observable difference with cli v2: flags must now
strictly appear before regular arguments. For example, the following command is
now invalid:
geth account import mykey.json --password file.txt
Instead, the command must be invoked as follows:
geth account import --password file.txt mykey.json
* Ref #19906 - replace passPHRASE with passWORD in any user interactions
this skips doccomments and variablenames to minimize impact. It does
however include a rename of the `ethkey` `changepassphrase` parameter
* console: fix JavaScript error capitalization
* add-date-to unstable
* fields-insteadof-split
* internal/build: support building with missing git
* docker: add git history back to support commit date in version
* internal/build: use PR commits hashes for PR builds
This commit:
- Adds a --msgfile option to read the message to sign from a file
instead of command line argument.
- Adds a unit test for signing subcommands.
- Removes some weird whitespace in the code.
ethkey is a new tool that serves as a command line interface to
the basic key management functionalities of geth. It currently
supports:
- generating keyfiles
- inspecting keyfiles (print public and private key)
- signing messages
- verifying signed messages
