Deprecate auto updater #11696

Open vorot93 opened 4 years ago

vorot93 commented 4 years ago

Binary management through smart contracts is very much orthogonal to the client itself, requires putting too much trust in the hands on the developers and is best served by the user distributions of choice anyway. It's also not used by any major user, per the polls on Twitter and Discord.

@vorot93 do you know if there is any lingering CI config that will trigger the auto-updater updates going forward on the ETC network, since the change ? I just want to make sure that updates don't trigger processes on the ETC network, as the latest changes to open-ethereum no longer support ETC and might harm live nodes on the network unintentionally.

@zcstarr New releases have not been pushed into auto-updater's smart contract for quite some time now, so it's effectively dead anyway. No need to worry.
