Ansible works with Python 2.6 and 2.7, but Buildbot requires 2.7. Both have
at least preliminary Python 3 support, but until our RPC tests are migrated to
Python 3, we need to use Python 2 for testing, and so this requirement stands.
Previously various user-facing strings have used inconsistent currency units "BTC",
"btc" and "bitcoins". This adds a single constant and uses it for each reference to
the currency unit.
Also adds a description of the unit for --maxtxfee, and adds the missing "amount"
field description to the (deprecated) move RPC command.
Corrections are to the median block times, which were generated by subtracting
CBlockIndex::nMedianTimeSpan / 2 from the block height and then multiplying by
the target spacing. GetMedianTimePast() takes an array sorted by std::sort() and
returns element CBlockIndex::nMedianTimeSpan / 2, meaning that if
CBlockIndex::nMedianTimeSpan is odd (which it is), there is an out-by-one error
in the subtraction.
Fixes#2480 where missing map entry would cause a segfault.
`wtxHeight = mapBlockIndex[wtx.hashBlock]->nHeight;` results in undefined behaviour when the block hash is not present in the map, returning a null value which is dereferenced via `->nHeight`. This error is triggered by a zero-conf wallet transaction which has not been mined yet. As discussed in #2480, on some systems there is a segfault whilst on others there is a silent exit. This makes it difficult to write a test, but the fix has been tested empirically to confirm an exception is thrown. This PR fixes the segfault and complements #2525 which prevents a user from sending from a zaddr with minconf 0.
Ansible playbook for configuring CI workers
The playbook in this PR can be used for configuring common Unix variants to run a Buildbot worker for the Zcash CI, starting from a fresh install (or a VM template provided by a hosting service).
Latent workers are not usually created on the instance type that will be used,
so memory and CPU info collected at AMI creation will likely be inaccurate.
A WWW-Authenticate header must be present in the 401
response to make clients know that they can authenticate,
and how.
WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="jsonrpc"
Fixes#7462.
