It appears that gen-bitcoin-conf.sh became broken after #31118 changed the --help output format, all options above -help in the --help output are missing, I've opened a fix in #32049.

Otherwise, I compared this PR to the instructions in doc/release-process.md and the v28.0rc1 bump (#30726) and the same changes are made here plus the #32041 backport. I lightly reviewed the diff between the manpages generated here and in v28.1, and didn't see anything unexpected.

+Use the "help" command to list all commands. Use "help <command>" to show help for that command.

ACK 47e2fa86dc5433852fd9e5050a23de2accfdca8

Other than the issue with the example bitcoin.conf, everything seems correct. I think we can move forward with rc1 and just backport the gen-bitcoin-conf.sh fixes for rc2 (or final). The script has to be rerun for every rc anyways.

ACK https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/47e2fa86dc5433852fd9e5050a23de2accfdca8d

I'm ~0 on whether or not the release candidate should be held up by the example bitcoin.conf, but everything else looks good to me.
fanquake added this to the milestone 29.0 on Mar 13, 2025
fanquake commented at 3:47 AM on March 13, 2025: member

There's likely going to be more rcs than usual, so just getting this out for testing with the incomplete example .conf is fine.
