Merging commits from 0.9.6.2 to 0.11.2 procedure

Install a mergetool. On Linux, meld:

sudo apt-get install meld

Configure your mergetool:

git config --global merge.tool meld

Then, iterate in the following way:

git cherry-pick ....
git mergetool
git cherry-pick --continue

First 0.9.6.2 mergeTest cherry pick commit :

https://github.com/FeatherCoin/Feathercoin/pull/201/commits/0ba808af8a10c8231490088932baa2d6ae0c7106
Added man pages for feathercoin, modified icons

git mergetool
Merging:
contrib/debian/manpages/feathercoin.conf.5
contrib/debian/manpages/feathercoind.1
contrib/debian/manpages/feathercoin-qt.1

Deleted merge conflict for 'contrib/debian/manpages/feathercoin.conf.5':
  {local}: deleted
  {remote}: created file
Use (c)reated or (d)eleted file, or (a)bort?

Note
Test - Create © all new MAN files. were MAN pages moved in from Bitcoin 0.11? and then FTCed? should still work.
Are there any other references / links to the original MAN names?

I have seen that several times dunig my tests with 0.9.6.* . The ORPHAN BLOCK COUNTER going up to
ProcessBlock() ProcessBlock: ORPHAN BLOCK 751.

It seems there was a number of forks happening, which where resolved later. I can’t remember the block height where it happened, so I can’t tell, that is is the same block where the messages started to show up

QRcodes in 0.9.6.1 - Only the buttons are visible? has the ui file gone?

Wellenreiter

@wrapper without the ui file you’d get errors during compile, as some signals/slots are missing.

This will HAVE to be fixed for the next release, the main issue is the MacOS build will fail on this warning… linux and windows the build continues with the warning.

bluebox

@AcidD Hate to pile on another request, but can you target at least El Capitan compatibility for the next official build? The 0.9.6.1 build cannot run on 10.11, so I’m stuck with looking at a yellow upgrade banner for a while. Did you compile on 10.12 for a reason, deps, etc.?

bluebox

@AcidD Sorry, that wasn’t a very “community effort” post I made… “Ask not what Feathercoin (dev’s) can do for you, ask what you can do for Feathercoin” :)

I’ll try my hand at compiling the official 0.9.6.1 release on 10.11 (physical Mac, not VM’s!) given your instructions here. 'Bout time I did some Mac compiling, been living in the linux world too long. I do have a 10.12 system to test forward compatibility.

DIY, baby!

it’s a proper guide I wrote for the 0.9.X series…it is still valid for 0.9.6.1
