This commit is a step to split the lnwallet package. It puts the Input
interface and implementations in a separate package along with all their
dependencies from lnwallet.
In this commit, we add a new section to the code contribution guidelines
explaining how to use `go mod replace`. This will be a common procedure
for any developer that needs to make a change in any of our sister
projects, so it's nice to have this outlined in a single place.
In this commit, we modify the Linux installation instructions to use the
pre-built archives rather than install from the ppa. We do this as
typically the ppa lags behind the latest releases, and also by
downloading it in this new manner, we're able to verify the sha256 sum
of the installed Go release.
In this commit, we aim to revamp the `INSTALL.md` file in order to make
it easier to parse, and more explicit. We've added a table of contents
to allow users to skip down to relevant sections and obtain a snapshot
of the contents of the document. Additionally, we've now modified the
headings to express a more clear delineation of the various sections.
- Provides clarity to the sample `lnd.conf` to reduce friction on a first-time mainnet set up of lnd (avoiding the `loadConfig: debug-htlc mode cannot be used on bitcoin mainnet` error)
- Removes `debughtlc` from the sample `lnd.conf` since it is not something most people would use anymore
- Adds link to `sample-lnd.conf` with proper line-wrapping
Every time I try to update lnd by following these instructions it fails. Most recently like this:
$ make
Compiling dependencies.
dep ensure -v
# Bringing vendor into sync
grouped write of manifest, lock and vendor: failed to export github.com/lightninglabs/neutrino: fatal: failed to unpack tree object 838f7ba74d217d188efc223604bd280b4e3f0238
: exit status 128
Makefile:116: recipe for target 'dep' failed
make: *** [dep] Error 1
I found that if I `make clean` before running `make` then it doesn't fail.
We will be slowly phasing this out, though abruptly
discontinuing support would be a more extensive change.
For now, we will ensure that this feature is not
recommended to users setting up a new wallet.
