- Remove the "Version used" column from the dependencies tables as the
depends package definition which defines the version used is already
linked. In case a developer is interested in which PR introduced this
file/version they can use `git blame` on the package definition as
usual. This removes doc. maintenance overhead and eliminates the risk
of stale information about the "Version used", see comment:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31895#discussion_r2063356972
- Separate dependency tables into build-time and run-time tables for
easier distinction of the two and to avoid repeating the same
information ("No"/"Yes") for better readability.
- Order dependencies alphabetically
The `dependencies.md` should mention that it is possible to self-compile
the dependencies and reference `depends/README.md` for instructions.
Also mention full path to `/doc/build-*.md` for clarity.
- Move "Clang" and "GCC" from the table to a new "Compiler" heading,
indicating either is required.
- Move "CMake" into the required table.
- Move "Python" into the optional table.
- Merge the optional dependencies into one table. Removed sub-headers
are put into parentheses behind the dependency name in the first
column.
- Replace the whitespace in the "Minimum required" column of "qrencode"
with "N/A" for consistency.
- Add missing info for the "systemtap" dependency.
- Add context for "Linux Kernel" dependency in parentheses behind the
dependency name.
fa1b139d17 Bump python minimum supported version to 3.10 (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
All supported operating systems ship with python 3.10 (or later), so bumping the minimum should not cause any issues. A bump will allow new code to use new python features.
For reference:
* https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python3
* https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/python3
* FreeBSD 13/14 ships with 3.11
* CentOS-like 8/9 ships with 3.11/3.12 (via `appstream`)
* OpenSuse Tumbleweed ships with all python versions, e.g. https://software.opensuse.org/package/python312-base
This is for Bitcoin Core 29.0 in 2025 (next year), not the soon upcoming 28.0 this fall.

Set minimum required glibc to 2.31.
The glibc 2.31 branch is still maintained:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/release/2.31/master.
Remove the stack-protector check from test-security-check, as the test
no-longer fails, and given the control we have of the end, the actual
security-check test seems sufficient (this might also be applied to some
of the other checks).
Drops runtime support for Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 and RHEL-8 from the release binaries.
I need to try and patch around Qts buildsystem to keep #21778 moving
along (the issue being that even when you tell Qt to build using
Clang on Linux, it still calls out to GCC, breaking our ability to have
a macOS release build env that doesn't have a GCC toolchain installed,
and thus no ld binary).
Before trying to patch Qt any further, update to the latest LTS
release, and update the current patch set.

This requires a linux kernel of 3.17.0+, which seems entirely
reasonable. 3.17 went EOL in 2015, and the last supported 3.x kernel
(3.16) went EOL > 4 years ago, in 2020. For reference, the current
oldest maintained kernel is 4.14 (released 2017, EOL Jan 2024).
Support for `getrandom()` (and `getentropy()`) was added to
glibc 2.25, https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2017-02/msg00079.html,
and we already require 2.27+.
All that being said, I don't think you would encounter a current day
system, running with kernel headers older than 3.17 (released 2014) but
also having a glibc of 2.27+ (released 2018).

74c9893989 guix: use glibc 2.27 for all Linux builds (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Build against glibc 2.27 for all Linux builds (previously only used for RISC-V), and at the same time, increase our minimum required glibc to 2.27 (2018). This would drop support for Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) & Debian Stretch (9), from the produced release binaries. Compiling from source on those systems may be possible, assuming you can install a recent enough compiler/toolchain etc.

ACK d5d4b75840, I have reviewed the code and it looks OK, I agree it can be merged.

This matches the version of the kernel targeted when we build the glibcs
we use for release builds in Guix. Other versions / scenerios may
work, but for documentation purposes, this is the version that makes
sense to document, and something we can claim to officially support.
Qt 5.15.3 release is a patch release made on the top of Qt 5.15.2. As a patch
release, Qt 5.15.3 does not add any new functionality but provides bug fixes
and other improvements.
