selsta: so far I updated the relevant scripts: monero-project/monero #8264 , because as my corporate boss would say: "If you had a plane crash, what would happen to the code?"

how often do you fly your plane mj-xmr[m]?

Haven't flown since 2.5 years. Guess why.

plane crash

makes sense

Of course the plane crash comment was worth mentioning, because a few people in the team (me and an arabic female) starting to shook our heads about how materialistic that comment was.

The real reason is, that you shouldn't update tests together with the code, that the tests are supposed to test, if the tests are broken anyway.

And here we aren't even at the moment of updating the tests, but merely at preparing the tests to work in a reproducible way.

mj-xmr[m]: can you continue in the same PR? otherwise it will probably take weeks to get this merged and it will slow progress down

e.g. have one patch for fixing the scripts and one for fixing the tests

both in the same PR

Sure.

mj-xmr[m]: I still don't understand how transactions work when this is on mainnet

The mainnet might be used for read-only operations there. I'll have a deeper look later, but the fact that Haven don't rely on mainnet, only testnet, does hint something.
