The current code for handling signing standard scripts resides in txscript and depends on parsing and creating standard scripts. This poses a problem for future work which intends to split the standard script handling from the consensus critical code since that code will also need to depend on txscript and therefore would result in a circular dependency. In order to pave the way for splitting the standard script handling without running into the aforementioned issue, this moves all of the signing code in the txscript package to a new subpackage named sign. As an aside, the signing code really never fit very well in the txscript package anyway and it only exists there because it was not possible to parse scripts outside of the package back when the original code was implemented. However, that limitation no longer exists. It should also be noted that this only does the minimum work necessary to move the code and does not update it otherwise since future work plans to replace it with a much more robust architecture that properly handles things such as different script versions and non-standard scripts which the current code does not handle. |

fullblocktests
Package fullblocktests provides a set of full block tests to be used for testing the consensus validation rules. The tests are intended to be flexible enough to allow both unit-style tests directly against the blockchain code as well as integration style tests over the peer-to-peer network. To achieve that goal, each test contains additional information about the expected result, however that information can be ignored when doing comparison tests between two independent versions over the peer-to-peer network.
This package has intentionally been designed so it can be used as a standalone package for any projects needing to test their implementation against a full set of blocks that exercise the consensus validation rules.
