Missing the Polkadot People Chain chain-spec

[josepot]

As of today the Polkadot People Chain chain-spec is nowhere to be found on this repo. Would it be possible to add it into the same directory where all the other system-chain-specs are? 🙏

Also, FWIW if RFC-8 was implemented, then we wouldn't need this chain-spec 😉

It exists here: https://github.com/paseo-network/runtimes/tree/main/chain-specs
But is it something that should exist into the polkadot-sdk repo?

I'm afraid that you got mixed up, those are the chain-specs of Paseo. This issue is about the chain-spec of the Polkadot People Chain.

🤦🏽 Ufff... too many parallel things going on. Thank you for straighting this up @josepot

Hi @josepot. The Polkadot People chainspec was included as an asset in the Fellows runtime 1.2.6 release here: https://github.com/polkadot-fellows/runtimes/releases/tag/v1.2.6

The hardcoded system parachain chain specs will soon be removed from polkadot-parachain and so chainspecs for new system parachains will not been added there. They will be found alongside their first released wasm in the fellowship repo from now on.

Thanks! Although, those bootnodes are all from Parity... where can we get a more complete list of bootnodes?

This would make a lot of sense if the RFC-8 had been implemented, as we could obtain the list of parachain bootnodes from the relay-chain. However, until that's not a reality, then we will need some sort of "authoritative" place for retrieving the bootnodes of the parachains.

Good point, I've added it to the sdk repo in #5124 so we have something in place until a better solution is found.

RE the bootnodes, there are five community invulnerables here but none marked as boot nodes at launch. I think usually the community add theirs afterwards in PRs like this one. This is another point for keeping the chain specs somewhere which can be edited and changes tracked.

For the Polkadot Coretime Chain I'll also gather some of these community boot nodes before launch.

Exactly, yes. Thanks! This is exactly what I meant.
