I don't really understand this comment. Maybe it could say why the jobs should not be marked as skipped, or maybe say how they should be shown instead of how they should not be shown.

What is $NO_BRANCH? Is it a custom variable like $NO_ARM added later? Could it be documented like NO_ARM is?

📝 achow101 opened a pull request: "gui: Migrate legacy wallets that are not loaded"
(https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui/pull/824)
Currently the Migrate Wallet menu item can only be used to migrate the currently loaded wallet. This is not suitable for the future when legacy wallets can no longer be loaded at all, but should still be able to be migrated. This PR changes that menu item into a menu list like Open Wallet and lets users migrate any legacy wallet in their wallet directory regardless of the wallets loaded.

One issue I ran into was dealing with encrypted wallets. Ideally, we would detect whether a wallet is encr

📝 achow101 opened a pull request: "wallet: Fix listwalletdir listing of migrated default wallets and generated backup files"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30265)
When the default wallet is migrated, we do not rename the wallet so we end up having a descriptor wallet with the empty string as its name and the wallet.dat file in the root of the walletdir. This is supposed to be an unsupported configuration and there is no other way to achieve this (other than file copying), but the wallet loading code does not disallow loading such wallets. However `listwalletdir` does not currently list the default wallet if it is sqlite. This is confusing to users, so cha

I can confirm this behavior and also think that this has uncovered a bug in `net_processing`.

I think that the root cause is in [TryDownloadingHistoricalBlocks](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/b1ba1b178f501daa1afdd91f9efec34e5ec1e294/src/net_processing.cpp#L1511-L1538) (which is responsible for downloading the background chain):
This function calls `FindNextBlocks()` with `pindexWalk` set to the current tip of the background chainstate (`from_tip`), and `target_block` set to the sna

Although I'm not sure if this is an actual problem in practice, because with our DoS protections for low-work blocks and headers we shouldn't really get into this situation with a divergent chain in the first place.

@maflcko Thanks, I can also reproduce that way.

Well, this can be fixed:
1. by adjusting the above checks (keep dependency of miniupnpc in version range 2.1 to 2.2.7).
Drawback: miss potential security updates on the upstream package.
2. by diving deeper and using the new API (backward incompatible, possibly increasing friction in a lot of systems until the main package managers maintainers decide to update miniupnpc version).

Note that when someone decide to upgrade the version in `depends`, the code base will have to support the new

I think that would be too complicated. Feel free to consider a followup, but I would restrain bloating this PR further.
🤔 ajtowns reviewed a pull request: "Tr partial descriptors"
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30243#pullrequestreview-2109323689)
Seems okay to me. Presumably should update doc/descriptors.md though, and might also be nice to have some functional tests demonstrating it works end-to-end? (Add some examples to `DESCS` in wallet_miniscript.py maybe?
💬 ajtowns commented on pull request "Tr partial descriptors":
(https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30243#discussion_r1634192469)
Having an `optional` when in one branch you ignore the value and in the other you assume it always has a value doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Would it make sense to drop `leaf_version` from `TRNodeInfo` and store the leaf version as the first byte of the script? Alternatively, could just drop the optional and default it to 0.

can be considered as divergence from the default `bitcoind` behavior.

The suggested change adds a new `bitcoind` config option just for the test framework, I do not like that. I guess it may be possible to avoid Tor collisions by spreading the ports without using a new config option, by using `-bind=127.0.0.1:torport=onion`, but then, I do not think

Most macs don't come with the storage that bitcoin core requires.

I was down in the store the other day having a look and the storage hdd capacity on macOS machines was limited to 256GiB.

So I suppose the only solution is to purchase extra storage @Sjors
