After discussion with Matt on IRC, this is not ready for prime time
until 2019 and shouldn't have been ACKed and merged.
- Revert "Add systemd service for bitcoind"
This reverts commit 2a87b1b07c.
- Revert "Sync contrib/debian from Matt Corallo's PPA"
This reverts commit 9085532d35.
Tree-SHA512: 439f4ccc3e196011af448b220adf26b0e653ac589bf4cfbbc276c1500c9d08f209c9d6101e4d232857779d9f25164cfb222ed30e3d63de116f9121e6ebde31c3
Adding systemd service for bitcoind, to provide for a simpler
out-of-the-box experience.
Configuration file is /etc/bitcoin/bitcoin.conf. This file is a
copy of the sample configuration file.
The service user 'bitcoin' is added during install. Its homedir
is in '/var/lib/bitcoin'.
bitcoind.service is disabled by default to allow the user to
configure it, before starting it the first time.
On package purge, the 'bitcoin' user as well as its homedir is
left intact, to not accidentally remove a wallet or something of
equal importance. Instead the user is presented with information
on how to perform the cleanup manually, after making sure all
important data has been backed up.
This:
* Partially reverts 9f68ed6 (which fixed spelling in a changelog,
though generally changelogs should be append-only).
* Disables UPnP support (PPA has not had it for a while, and I
still don't trust miniupnpc, plus it seems uneccessary - its
been a while since we needed to care about Bitcoin-Qt home users
getting their inbound ports auto-mapped).
* Enables ZMQ.
* Forces GUI to Qt4 to fix various issues people have been seeing
on Ubuntu and elsewhere with Qt5.
* Reverts 70899d70b (Bitcoin does not enable "instant payments",
not is transaction management "carried out collectively by the
network", for whatever "transaction management" means, finally
Bitcoin Core is not the only way to use the Bitcoin currency,
as seemingly implied in the description).
This option is becoming more popular recently, and I propose an example to be shown in the bitcoin.conf.

This removes the option from the wallet to not pay a fee on "small"
transactions which spend "old" inputs.
This code is no longer worth keeping around, as almost all miners
prefer not to include transactions which pay no fee at all.
* separate completion for bitcoind and bitcoin-cli
* remove RPC support from bitcoind completion
* add completion for bitcoin-tx and bitcoin-qt
* rely on autoloading of completions
b0beae8 Drop "with minimal dependencies" from description (Zak Wilcox)
5e5e00b Split bitcoin-tx into its own package (Zak Wilcox)
05179f7 Include bitcoin-tx binary on Debian/Ubuntu (Zak Wilcox)
The two timeouts for the server and client, are essentially different:
- In the case of the server it should be a lower value to avoid clients
clogging up connection slots
- In the case of the client it should be a high value to accomedate slow
responses from the server, for example for slow queries or when the
lock is contended
Split the options into `-rpcservertimeout` and `-rpcclienttimeout` with
respective defaults of 30 and 900.
