[cyberj0g]

Remove Epic verifier and corresponding CLI arguments, because it's replaced with local verification and fast verification based on MPEG-7 signatures.

@hjpotter92 could you please look into test workflow fail on 'Install dependencies' step? It may have something to do with recent EOL of Ubuntu 18.04.

hey; yes! I've another branch where i'm trying to fix those; but keep hitting this:

it appears to be dependency issue; but have been unable so far to resolve it :(

It either doesn't link with zlib statically anymore on Ffmpeg build for some reason, or it's CGO issue. If zlib is not missing on the system, explicitly adding CGO_LDFLAGS=-lz in Makefile should help.

Not sure it's the same issue as in test workflow, though.

Hey! @cyberj0g thanks for that. adding -lz to make flags was the only pending step.

the builds are now succeeding (had to also trigger a clean cache for darwin builds).

@hjpotter92 sorry to bother you again, but now it fails with:

hey @cyberj0g I had been afk for some time; so couldn't reply. but it looks like the issue was fixed by @mjh1 here: https://github.com/livepeer/go-livepeer/pull/2764/files#diff-245392b692a50c38ecab4381b118862db514035c10983f3bd4f4b7f1f4be4692R51

once you rebase your branch on current master; it should be good to go.
