There were necessary for these scripts to function in my build environment (Mac OSX). This may give errors when running in other environments, but we can deal with that in future, when others need to use these scripts.
The script will fetch a set of blocks and then backtest the specified blockTimings settings (target, deviation, and power) against those real life blocks. This allows configurations to be fine tuned to tighten up block times, and to adjust the timestamp variance between levels.
Usage:
block-timings.sh <startheight> <count> [target] [deviation] [power]
startheight: a block height, preferably within the untrimmed range, to avoid data gaps
count: the number of blocks to request and analyse after the start height. Default: 100
target: the target block time in milliseconds. Originates from blockchain.json. Default: 60000
deviation: the allowed block time deviation in milliseconds. Originates from blockchain.json. Default: 30000
power: used when transforming key distance to a time offset. Originates from blockchain.json. Default: 0.2
Requires entries 'sslKeystorePathname' and 'sslKeystorePassword'
in settings.json.
With SSL enabled, API will auto-detect HTTP or HTTPs on the same port.
Included tools/build-keystore.sh to help build keystore from
Let's Encrypt certificates.
Instead of working on a single 'auto-update' branch,
that needed to be rebased from master branch's HEAD,
we create an orphan branch named after master:HEAD
containing on the update file.
This allows us to keep/delete updates on a per-commit
basis and shows which commit each update is based upon.
Added loads more checking.
