Fix and improve release-process.md #3028

Michagogo commented at 7:36 PM on September 24, 2013: contributor

This commit adds a step, which is to git checkout the version to be built. This ensures that the gitian-descriptors for said version will be the correct ones. In addition, it updates the links for several dependencies, where the previously existing links were dead.

AFAIK you shouldn't just update such links only here, they are used in the Gitian related files also (see folder gitian-descriptors).

Michagogo commented at 9:55 PM on September 24, 2013:

If I'm not mistaken, that's not the case -- as far as I can tell, any given gitian-build descriptor will get files from 2 potential sources. One is the remotes section, which specifies git repositories that should be downloaded, and the other is the files section, which lists files from the inputs directory that should be copied in. These wgets pull in the source that is used to build the deps. A quick look at the descriptor files, and I see no URLs there besides github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.

Seems I was wrong, sorry. I was just wondering, where the URIs that Gitian uses are coming from and had the impression this can't be the readme ;).

ACK changes, but needs rebase.

Michagogo commented at 2:09 PM on September 29, 2013: contributor

Rebased (I hope I did that right) and added one more small fix.

Can you use https here and perhaps see if other downloads are also working via https?

Michagogo commented at 6:16 PM on October 1, 2013:

@Diapolo Okay, going down the list and adding https where it works -- is wget --no-check-certificate 'https://... any better than wget 'http://... ?

Michagogo commented at 6:41 PM on October 1, 2013: contributor

Switched from http to https for those downloads that support it, and rebased (a second time, onto Jeff's null wallet commit)

Fix and improve release-process.md

This commit adds a step, which is to git checkout the version to be
built. This ensures that the gitian-descriptors for said version will be
the correct ones. In addition, it updates the links for several
dependencies, where the previously existing links were dead.

Switch the order of win32 deps and win32 qt in release-process.md

release-process.md has the deps being built after qt. However, the descriptors for qt call for the deps file.

HTTPS-ify the downloads for the deps 61823c47db

Re-rebased.
