[Bitcoin-development] 0.8.0rc1 status

[Gavin Andresen]

Linux builds of 0.8.0rc1 are in good shape; easily gitian-reproduceable.

Windows builds are varying with every compile, and I think I finally
figured out why: we are not passing the -frandom-seed flag down into
the leveldb build (I used objdump to dump two different binaries, and
they differed only in the names of some leveldb objects). That should
be an easy makefile fix.

The OSX build is in pretty good shape, but needs
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2286 to compile.

So: I think the path forward is to announce 0.8.0rc1 with the binaries
we've got, to get more testing.

Then before final release (or rc2, if that is needed) pull #2286 and
create and pull a patch to fix the windows non-determinism problem.

I'm done for today, but should have time to sign the windows setup.exe
and send out a rc1 announcement tomorrow.

FWIW, this should be already mostly-fixed in pull #2243 I submitted 9 days 
ago... only thing not in that pull is changing gitian to use the standard 
CXXFLAGS rather than our non-standard DEBUGFLAGS (whether DEBUGFLAGS should be 
propagated to LevelDB or not is another conversation I guess).

With this new minor bump, I'd like to encourage the project to perform
a build check on FreeBSD 8.3 (gcc), and 9.1 (should be clang/llvm).
I'll try to get to 8.x but may not be able to in time.

#2243 should fix that, I think.

I have done test builds on FreeBSD.

Clean builds using gcc and clang, building both the qt gui and the command
line daemon, and the tests run clean as well. The qt gui runs, and cleanly
reindexed and caught up. I have no problems to report.

I am not doing any adjustments apart from applying the needed changes to
the include directory statements.
