  72    rm -rf bitcoin-${VERSION}-win32
  73
  74 * perform Mac build
  75   See this blog post for how Gavin set up his build environment to build the OSX
  76   release; note that a patched version of macdeployqt is not needed anymore, as
  77   the required functionality and fixes are implemented directly in macdeployqtplus:
  78     http://gavintech.blogspot.com/2011/11/deploying-bitcoin-qt-on-osx.html
  79   Gavin also had trouble with the macports py27-appscript package; he
  80   ended up installing a version that worked with: /usr/bin/easy_install-2.7 appscript
  81
  82   qmake RELEASE=1 USE_UPNP=1 USE_QRCODE=1 bitcoin-qt.pro
  83   make
  84   export QTDIR=/opt/local/share/qt4  # needed to find translations/qt_*.qm files
  85   T=$(contrib/qt_translations.py $QTDIR/translations src/qt/locale)
  86   python2.7 contrib/macdeploy/macdeployqtplus Bitcoin-Qt.app -add-qt-tr $T -dmg -fancy contrib/macdeploy/fancy.plist
  87
  88  Build output expected:
  89   Bitcoin-Qt.dmg
  90
  91 * upload builds to SourceForge
  92
  93 * create SHA256SUMS for builds, and PGP-sign it
  94
  95 * update bitcoin.org version
  96
  97 * update forum version
  98
  99 * update wiki download links
 100
 101 * Commit your signature to gitian.sigs:
 102   pushd gitian.sigs
 103   git add ${VERSION}/${SIGNER}
 104   git add ${VERSION}-win32/${SIGNER}
 105   git commit -a
 106   git push  # Assuming you can push to the gitian.sigs tree
 107   popd
 108
 109 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 110
 111 * After 3 or more people have gitian-built, repackage gitian-signed zips:
 112
 113   * From a directory containing bitcoin source, gitian.sigs and gitian zips
 114    export VERSION=0.5.1
 115    mkdir bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian
 116    pushd bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian
 117    unzip ../bitcoin-${VERSION}-linux-gitian.zip
 118    mkdir gitian

 121      cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert
 122      cp ../gitian.sigs/${VERSION}/${signer}/bitcoin-build.assert.sig ./gitian/${signer}-build.assert.sig
 123    done

 137    cp bitcoin-${VERSION}-win32-gitian.zip ../
 138    popd
 139
 140   * Upload gitian zips to SourceForge
