This change also deletes generator.go, moving the only interesting line
in it into release.go. The binding has been regenerated with abigen from
develop and solc v0.3.6.
The new build script, ci.go, replaces some of the older shell scripts.
ci.go can compile go-ethereum, run the tests, create release archives
and debian source packages.
This version is less clever. All names are listed in a single file,
AUTHORS. All source files have the same header. This is an improvement
over the previous version, which attempted to list copyright holders in
each source file.
Many people need or want to build go-ethereum from the git repository,
mostly to stay up to date with recent changes. We cannot expect that
people without Go experience grok the Go workspace concept.
With the Makefile, building from github requires only
three steps (provided that a Go toolchain is installed):
- git clone https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum
- ... install C libraries (libgmp, etc.) ...
- make
