Missing #4843, #4846 and #4854 (see https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+label%3Abackport-candidate-18.x). Also, ideally, 3636ec0 should be done on develop first and then backported.

Cherry picked 4854, and dropped copyright, the other two have conflicting changes; maybe @knst can create a backport PR with his commits

1233977a0fb15fa69cf2bb87b88a8d91e0f23ac2 and db91e4f8e9e90472b9b8619c4f4fababb6950996 should do it I think

[PastaPastaPasta]

Okay @UdjinM6 please review

[QuantumExplorer]

Approved because these are just cherry picked commits.

ACK

Strange, seems as zlib 1.2.11 is not available by link anymore (404 error).

I applied this patch (1.2.12) to revision 07249a8 and it works fine on Kubuntu 22.04.

@knst Hmm, right. So I guess it worked for me locally cause I have zlib downloaded already and it works for gitian cause it uses https://bitcoincore.org/depends-sources/ as a fallback for all dependencies (i.e. https://bitcoincore.org/depends-sources/zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz for zlib). Pls create a PR with your patch and v18.x as a base branch.
