This is a script I made to assist in reproducibly building the Monero binaries on Split Linux, the distribution that splits your various identities into separate TTY's.

The logic creates a containerized vanilla Ubuntu install where it then executes the Gitian-Docker build variant.

An upcoming Split Linux version will ship the script, but I thought I'd do a little pre-release so you may build the recently released Monero v0.18.3.2.

Usage

While logged in as root to any TTY, ideally in a tmux window, run

OS=l ./monero-gitian.sh  [container_name]

OS can be any lower-case initial of "Linux", "Android", "FreeBSD", "Windows" or "MacOS". Set OS=lafwm to build all (required for sharing your results via the official channel).
Github username is used for correctly naming directories in case in intend to publish your checksums later on.
Optional container name can be freely chosen, as long it doesn't clash with an existing one (defaults to gitian-TIMESTAMP).

At the password prompts, simply provide a matching one each time.

The resulting binaries can be used as-is as long as you are on a supported platform and using glibc.

To learn how to sign and publish your results, refer to Monero's Gitian documentation.

I just posted an update and again it doesn't show at https://monero.town where the default sorting is "Active". It does show on to only when sorting by New, https://monero.town/?dataType=Post&sort=New, but I wonder how Lemmy gets topic active when they're hidden by default.

Hm i see, you're right. Maybe because monero.town isn't your home instance? I might set the default to "new" if that's the case.
