This file is outdated, the mentioned issue is no longer there for
newer gcc versions - for bitcoin we haven't had to specify any special
optimization flag overrides for a long time (we compile using -O2).
- apropos to a discussion about merge request #36, added a flag in the descriptor and command line flag.
- adding sudo: true in the yml file plus adding a command line flag --allow-sudo will allow script user to elevate permissions with no password.

ee6dee4 devtools: Fix utf-8 support in messages for github-merge (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
7d99dee [devtools] github-merge get toplevel dir without extra whitespace (Andrew C)
0ae5a18 devtools: show pull and commit information in github-merge (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
992efcf devtools: replace github-merge with python version (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Use 'utf-8' instead of the Python 2 default of 'ascii' to encode/decode
commit messages.
This can be removed when switching to Python 3, as 'utf-8' is the
default there.
Necessary for merging #7422 due to the ฿ in ฿tcDrak.
This is meant to be a direct translation of the bash script,
with the difference that it retrieves the PR title from github,
thus creating pull messages like:
Merge #12345: Expose transaction temperature over RPC
Now, if a user is using something like on-target directly, that user
doesn't need to set the DISTRO or TUSER variables if using Ubuntu guests
(so the scripts function the same as they did before Debian guest
support was added).
According to the Debian wiki, installing the package grub installs the
correct version of grub for your suite automatically. This fixes a "you
have held broken packages" error when creating the package manifest due
to a conflict between grub-pc and grub-legacy (at least with Wheezy).
Check for older suites with 686 flavour before checking for 686-pae
flavour suites, because the former should never change, but the latter
would have to be changed whenever a new suite was released if it wasn't
the last if statement.
It seems like a lsb_release program should be available on any distro if
the appropriate package is installed. So it seems better to use
lsb_release instead of /etc/lsb-release, because Debian doesn't appear
to have /etc/lsb-release.
The build process for [Bitcoin](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/gitian-building.md) was failing with the following error
```
./bin/gbuild:21:in `system!': failed to run on-target setarch x86_64 bash -x < var/build-script > var/build.log 2>&1 (RuntimeError)
from ./bin/gbuild:137:in `build_one_configuration'

```
Inside the log file `var/build.log` the entries towards the end show
```
/bin/sh: 1: wget: not found
```
Added info for OS X homebrew commands alongside the Macports as some people prefer to use Homebrew over MacPorts and it is a pain to switch over from the two.
