01:29 < emilengler> Is Bitcoin Core installing to /usr/local by default? Or does it install to /usr/bin if /usr/local does not exists

01:29 < emilengler> Or does make install puts the bins somewhere else? Does it depend on the machine?

01:32 < sipa> emilengler: "install" ?

01:33 < sipa> oh, make install!

01:43 < emilengler> sipa: Yes make install

01:45 < fanquake> Much left to do before a 0.18.1rc1 tag?

06:25 < bitcoin-git> [bitcoin] ariard opened pull request #16426: Remove Chain::Lock interface (master...2019-07-remove-more-locking-chain) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16426

09:28 < aj> wumpus: "bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo: invalid response" -- did you resolve that? it looks like that's a "couldn't parse the response as json" error, maybe bitcoind is still starting up?

10:25 < wumpus> aj: yes, I've solved the issue, it was due to a freebsd package upgrade invalidating the boost shared libraries while invoking bitcoin-cli, so it was trying to parse the wrong thing :-)

10:25 < wumpus> aj: 'Shared object "libboost_system.so.1.69.0" not found, required by "bitcoin-cli"' doesn't look like a getblockchaininfo response

10:25 < wumpus> anyhow, sorry for the false alarm

10:27 < fanquake> wumpus were you planning on tagging an rc1 this weekend? Or are we waiting for #16414?

10:27 < gribble> https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16414 | 0.18: wallet: Fix -maxtxfee check by moving it to CWallet::CreateTransaction by promag · Pull Request #16414 · bitcoin/bitcoin · GitHub

10:45 < wumpus> fanquake: I think evrything is ready if we want to do rc1 now

10:47 < fanquake> wumpus sure

10:47 < fanquake> I think we've waited long enough to be getting this out.

10:48 < wumpus> agree, also, we could always include 16414 in rc2, if rc2 turns out to be necessary

10:48 < fanquake> 👍

10:58 < bitcoin-git> [bitcoin] laanwj pushed tag v0.18.1rc1: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/compare/v0.18.1rc1

10:59 < wumpus> ^^

11:22 < fanquake> wumpus: thanks. Am gitian building

11:23 < fanquake> however am stuck on a horribly slow connection, and need to re-download a few things 🙄

12:44 < wumpus> fanquake: even with a slow connection, I doubt the downloading is a significant part of the total build time

12:53 < fanquake> wumpus: yes. Still annoying being stuck on <~1mbp/s hah

12:53 < wumpus> oh wow yes i can imagine

14:47 < wumpus> looks like the ppc64 linux build for rc1 is failing

14:52 < fanquake> wumpus: in what way?

14:55 < wumpus> i'm re-running the linux build right now to rule out a fluke, will make an issue with the build log if it persists

14:56 < fanquake> my linux builds seem to have completed ok

14:56 < wumpus> ok!

15:30 < achow101> when will we switch off gitian to guix?

15:31 < kallewoof> I am considering volunteering to help out the bitcoin/bips repository. It has 108 open PRs, dating back to 2015. Who besides Luke is maintaining that?

15:31 < fanquake> Don't know about a full switch, but I'm hoping there will be Guix binaries produced alongside gitian for 0.19.0. Even if just for linux (but I'm sure we'll get macOS & Windows sorted).

15:32 < fanquake> wumpus: sigs up in https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gitian.sigs/pull/1040

16:23 < wumpus> fanquake: i was using the descriptors from the wrong tree

17:11 < harding> kallewoof: AFAIK, luke-jr is the only one. However, I'd check with him to see if the backlog is because he's low on time or because he's waiting for ACKs on PRs from the various BIP authors as he usually doesn't merge anything besides trivial typo fixes unless one of the authors approves the change.

17:25 < luke-jr> most of them are lacking relevant ACKs

17:25 < luke-jr> even trivial typo fixes still need such an ACK :/
