macdeploy: avoid use of `Bitcoin Core` in Linux cross build

fanquake commented at 4:26 pm on August 8, 2025: member

Output bitcoin-macos-app.zip, similar to what we do for Windows: bitcoin-win64-setup.exe.

I find it weird that we would produce files named differently for the same target when the hosts are different. Is there a reason that the zip should include the software name in its name anyways?

hodlinator commented at 9:24 am on August 22, 2025: contributor

Agreed that different names depending on originating platform might be a bit confusing.

Would be slightly more straightforward to switch to bitcoin-macos-app.zip as output for all, or allow -zip without a value in contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus and just produce something like “macdeploy-output.zip”.

I don’t mind much, but I don’t think the different names are that weird, given the two outputs are different. One is a release-like zip, with an immediately usable binary, the other is a zip containing a binary that wont run, which is immediately renamed, and fed into the codesigning process.

In any case, have changed this to just use bitcoin-macos-app.zip everywhere.

Good to rename osx_volname to macos_zip since it’s more modern naming of the OS.

macdeploy: combine appname & -zip arguments

appname is only used by -zip.

macdeploy: rename macOS output to bitcoin-macos-app.zip

We were naming this "Bitcoin-Core.zip", just to immediately rename it.
Similar to what we do with Windows, i.e `bitcoin-win64-setup.exe`.

Changes here seem good, I also prefer the new naming.

I guess no longer deriving from CLIENT_NAME might affect forks (only if they use this same build/release process?), but the rename in the guix script is currently hardcoded (to Bitcoin-Core.zip), so I doubt this worked for them as-is anyway.
