Bitcoin is a free open source peer-to-peer electronic cash system that
is completely decentralized, without the need for a central server or
trusted parties. Users hold the crypto keys to their own money and
transact directly with each other, with the help of a P2P network to
check for double-spending.
===> The following configuration options are available for bitcoin-daemon-31.1:
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
TESTS=off: Build test binary and unit tests
WALLET=on: Wallet Management Support
ZMQ=on: Block and transaction broadcasting with ZeroMQ
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Affects: users of net-p2p/bitcoin and/or net-p2p/bitcoin-daemon

Reason:
29.x is the last release series that will support the legacy BDB wallet
format. We are already doing this awkwardly since the format is BDB 4.8
and we are building with BDB 5. This will be removed in 30.0 later this
year.
You should upgrade your wallet now if you are still using a legacy wallet.
Instructions:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/29.x/doc/managing-wallets.md#migrating-legacy-wallets-to-descriptor-wallets
This release switches to CMake which results in a major refactoring of
the port and underlying build. The result seems good, but please
provide feedback if there are any unexpected changes or problems.
This release dropped UPnP support due to security concerns. NAT-PMP is
implemented as an alternative.
net-p2p/bitcoin{-daemon,utils}: Update to 30.1
This is a larger than recent releases with an update to Qt6 and dropping
of the legacy BDB wallet format. See previous UPDATING message if you
need wallet migration instructions; the conversion code is integrated
and does not need BDB.

net-p2p/bitcoin-daemon: Move PID to /var/run
This deconflicts the GUI client, and fixes a permission error for the daemon
even when running stand alone.

net-p2p/bitcoin: Add an option to use newer BDB
Make the new option the default, so that when the port is recompiled it
will link against BDB 5.x or 6.x (whichever is the default in the system).
This will keep old wallet files readable and will not automatically
convert them in an incompatible with BDB 4.8 way. Newly created wallet
files will not be readable by Bitcoin Core versions linked with BDB 4.8.
Next thing to consider is to remove the option to link against BDB 4.8 as
this will remove the net-p2p/bitcoin -> databases/db48 dependency and will
make it possible to ditch the latter, which is scheduled for removal from
the ports collection on Apr 30 2018.

Set default BDB version in bitcoin slave ports
In c465619 a new single-choice option was introduced in net-p2p/bitcoin
where exactly one variant must be chosen (BDB version). But the bitcoin
slave ports net-p2p/bitcoin-daemon and net-p2p/bitcoin-utils set
OPTIONS_DEFAULT=... (with missing BDB version) and the master port uses
OPTIONS_DEFAULT?=...somebdbversion... so the choice of the master port
is not inherited by the slaves.
Fix this by explicitly setting the BDB version in both slave ports.

Use a more modern way of distinguishing "big-endian platforms".
This will attempt builds on arm platforms on the cluster.

- net-p2p/bitcoin: fix path error in startup script files/bitcoin.in also
removes reliance on unnecessary cli script.
- net-p2p/bitcoin-daemon: create the user/group for the daemon to use also
install a sample configuration file.
With these two patches a "pkg install bitcoin-daemon" followed by "service
start bitcoind" will be sufficient to run as a non-privileged user and
automatically connect to bitcoin live network; using /var/db/bitcoin to store
blockchain data.
