The `BlockBuilderProvider` was a trait that was defined in `sc-block-builder`. The trait was implemented for `Client`. This basically meant that you needed to import `sc-block-builder` any way to have access to the block builder. So, this trait was not providing any real value. This pull request is removing the said trait. Instead of the trait it introduces a builder for creating a `BlockBuilder`. The builder currently has the quite fabulous name `BlockBuilderBuilder` (I'm open to any better name 😅). The rest of the pull request is about replacing the old trait with the new builder. # Downstream code changes If you used `new_block` or `new_block_at` before you now need to switch it over to the new `BlockBuilderBuilder` pattern: ```rust // `new` requires a type that implements `CallApiAt`. let mut block_builder = BlockBuilderBuilder::new(client) // Then you need to specify the hash of the parent block the block will be build on top of .on_parent_block(at) // The block builder also needs the block number of the parent block. // Here it is fetched from the given `client` using the `HeaderBackend` // However, there also exists `with_parent_block_number` for directly passing the number .fetch_parent_block_number(client) .unwrap() // Enable proof recording if required. This call is optional. .enable_proof_recording() // Pass the digests. This call is optional. .with_inherent_digests(digests) .build() .expect("Creates new block builder"); ``` --------- Co-authored-by: Sebastian Kunert <skunert49@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: command-bot <>
Substrate
Substrate is a next-generation framework for blockchain innovation 🚀.

instructions. Then try out one of the tutorials. Refer to the Docker
instructions to quickly run Substrate, Substrate Node Template, Subkey, or to build a chain spec.

License
- Substrate Primitives (
sp-*), Frame (frame-*) and the pallets (pallets-*), binaries (/bin) and all other utilities are licensed under Apache 2.0. - Substrate Client (/client/*/sc-*) is licensed under GPL v3.0 with a classpath linking exception.
The reason for the split-licensing is to ensure that for the vast majority of teams using Substrate to create feature-chains, then all changes can be made entirely in Apache2-licensed code, allowing teams full freedom over what and how they release and giving licensing clarity to commercial teams.
In the interests of the community, we require any deeper improvements made to Substrate's core logic (e.g. Substrate's internal consensus, crypto or database code) to be contributed back so everyone can benefit.
