This updates the list of tags used for `release` builds in the release
documentation. `peersrpc`, `kvdb_postgres`, and `kvdb_etcd` are now
automatically included in `make release` or `make release-install`
builds.
This adds a list of tags that can be used when building or installing
lnd from source. Links to relevant code, protobuf definitions, or
documentation are included to illustrate the purpose of each tag.
Closes#3598.
In this commit, we update the min Go version to be version 1.18. This
breaks our prior rule of supporting the last two major versions, but
allows us to use the larger features in 1.18 sooner, such as the newly
released type parameters.
* Using <details> and <summary> tags in the INSTALL.md to collapse the various platforms for installing, making the rendered page shorter and easier to read.
* Simplyfying the instructions for creating LND mobile
* Fixed bug in checkout of latest tagged release
* Fixed bug in command for moving proto definitions to same folder as xcframework file
* Use Go 1.17.6 for building the Swift proto definitions
* Added link to LND Builder’s Guide
This is a new, hidden command that generates completions for Fish shell.
This can be piped into `source` or saved in a file to activate (almost)
perfect tab completion.
This removes a warning in the documentation saying that pruned nodes are
not supported. This is no longer the case as [pruning is supported since
0.13](https://github.com/lightningnetwork/lnd/pull/5154). So instead it
now says pruning is supported and notes the version and implications of
pruning.
you must be root to be able to install go on /usr/local/
without "sudo" the command fails with :
tar: go/src/cmd/go/main.go: Cannot open: No such file or directory
To give users an idea how the new auto-unlock flag can be used in a more
safe way than just writing the password to a file, we add a new wallet
management document and describe the unlock feature in detail.
To prevent novice users from running non-release versions, we update the
installation instructions to point them towards our release binaries.
We also document the new Docker build helper that allows you to compile
lnd without needing to install golang.
Add 'Creating a wallet' section, explaining that 'lncli create' must be run
with a new instance. Also describe the password prompt and mnemonic this
command presents to the user.
In this commit, we modify the Linux installation instructions to use the
pre-built archives rather than install from the ppa. We do this as
typically the ppa lags behind the latest releases, and also by
downloading it in this new manner, we're able to verify the sha256 sum
of the installed Go release.
In this commit, we aim to revamp the `INSTALL.md` file in order to make
it easier to parse, and more explicit. We've added a table of contents
to allow users to skip down to relevant sections and obtain a snapshot
of the contents of the document. Additionally, we've now modified the
headings to express a more clear delineation of the various sections.
- Provides clarity to the sample `lnd.conf` to reduce friction on a first-time mainnet set up of lnd (avoiding the `loadConfig: debug-htlc mode cannot be used on bitcoin mainnet` error)
- Removes `debughtlc` from the sample `lnd.conf` since it is not something most people would use anymore
- Adds link to `sample-lnd.conf` with proper line-wrapping
Every time I try to update lnd by following these instructions it fails. Most recently like this:
$ make
Compiling dependencies.
dep ensure -v
# Bringing vendor into sync
grouped write of manifest, lock and vendor: failed to export github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino: fatal: failed to unpack tree object 838f7ba74d217d188efc223604bd280b4e3f0238
: exit status 128
Makefile:116: recipe for target 'dep' failed
make: *** [dep] Error 1
I found that if I `make clean` before running `make` then it doesn't fail.
We will be slowly phasing this out, though abruptly
discontinuing support would be a more extensive change.
For now, we will ensure that this feature is not
recommended to users setting up a new wallet.
