MarcoFalke 5a80086ec2 Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#26701 : contrib: make DNS seeds file an argument in CLI (`makeseeds`) `1c07500dbb` contrib: make DNS seeds file an argument in CLI (brunoerg) Pull request description: Instead of using `makeseeds.py` this way: ```sh python3 makeseeds.py -a asmap-filled.dat < seeds_main.txt > nodes_main.txt ``` We could use the DNS seeds file as an argument since it is a required one. It improves the way the script handles it when that file is missing as well as makes this script more friendly. E.g: ```sh python3 makeseeds.py -a asmap-filled.dat -s seeds_main.txt > nodes_main.txt ``` ACKs for top commit: vincenzopalazzo: ACK `1c07500dbb` Tree-SHA512: bddf728d5d376659155f5bbeb1fa0d42aa273ec4a0cf5687f4d3f3be85625f541d392f30008e3c9d2c65967cb882deb36af34330994727771be73c9adeb521e0		2023-02-07 10:03:36 +01:00

Seeds

Utility to generate the seeds.txt list that is compiled into the client (see src/chainparamsseeds.h and other utilities in contrib/seeds).

Be sure to update PATTERN_AGENT in makeseeds.py to include the current version, and remove old versions as necessary (at a minimum when GetDesirableServiceFlags changes its default return value, as those are the services which seeds are added to addrman with).

The seeds compiled into the release are created from sipa's DNS seed and AS map data. Run the following commands from the /contrib/seeds directory:

curl https://bitcoin.sipa.be/seeds.txt.gz | gzip -dc > seeds_main.txt
curl https://bitcoin.sipa.be/asmap-filled.dat > asmap-filled.dat
python3 makeseeds.py -a asmap-filled.dat -s seeds_main.txt > nodes_main.txt
cat nodes_main_manual.txt >> nodes_main.txt
python3 generate-seeds.py . > ../../src/chainparamsseeds.h
