108 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
109 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
110 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is

113 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.

532 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
534 New features [Sean Whitton]:
535 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
536 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
537 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
538 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
539 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
540 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
542 Documentation improvements:
543 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.

545 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.

547 Closes:#864873,#878433.
548 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
549 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
552 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
553 specially. Closes:#886442.
554 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
555 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
556 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
557 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
558 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
559 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
562 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
563 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
566 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
567 won't try to run it).
568 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
569 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
570 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
571 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

589 Important improvements to dgit:
590 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
591 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
592 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
593 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
594 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
595 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
597 Other improvements to dgit:
598 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
599 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
600 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
603 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
604 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
605 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
606 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
609 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
612 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
613 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
616 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
617 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
618 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
619 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
621 * Other tests for new features.

1084 other than one single directory toplevel. Closes:#843422.
1085 * Actually honour the branch name, if we are on dgit branch, to specify
1086 the suite, as documented in the manpage.
1087 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
1088 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.

1103 * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,
1104 so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
1105 * New import-dsc feature.
1106 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1107 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1108 is left somewhere useful.
1109 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.

1129 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1131 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1132 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.

1250 Incompatible change:
1251 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1252 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1253 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1254 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1255 to change for the dgit user.
1256 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1257 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1260 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1261 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1264 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1265 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1266 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1267 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1268 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1269 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1270 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1272 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1273 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1275 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1276 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1277 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1278 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1279 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1280 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1281 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1282 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1283 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1284 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1285 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1286 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1287 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1288 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1289 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1290 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1291 from dgit about what it was doing.
1292 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1294 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1295 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1297 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1298 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1299 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1303 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1304 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1306 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1307 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1308 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1312 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1313 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1314 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1315 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1316 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1319 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1320 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1321 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1322 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1323 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1324 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1325 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1326 messages. Closes:#800078.
1327 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1328 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1329 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1330 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1331 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1332 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1334 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1335 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1336 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1337 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1338 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1339 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1340 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1341 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1342 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1343 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1344 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1345 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1346 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1349 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1350 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1351 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1352 Cosmetic change only.
1353 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1354 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1355 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1356 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.

1358 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1359 to rollback and release the lock.
1360 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.

1362 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1363 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1365 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

1580 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1582 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1583 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1584 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1586 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1589 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1590 packages. Closes:#764606.
1591 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1592 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1593 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1594 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1596 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1598 Other significant improvements:
1600 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1601 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1603 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1604 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1605 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1607 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1608 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1610 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1612 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1613 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1614 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1616 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1620 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1621 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1622 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1623 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1628 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1629 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1630 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1631 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1632 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1633 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1635 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1636 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1638 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1640 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1641 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1642 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1643 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1645 Documentation improvements:
1647 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1648 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1649 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1650 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1651 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1652 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1653 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1655 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1657 Behind-the-scenes work:
1659 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1660 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1661 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1662 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1663 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1664 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1665 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1666 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1667 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1668 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1670 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1671 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1675 dgit (0.22.1) unstable; urgency=high
1677 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
1678 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
1679 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

1684 dgit (0.22) unstable; urgency=medium
1687 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
1688 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
1690 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1691 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1692 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1694 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1695 re-retreive the .dsc.
1696 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1697 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1698 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1699 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1700 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1701 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1704 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1705 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1706 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1708 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1709 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1710 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1711 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1712 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1713 host. Closes:#736529.
1714 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1715 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1716 regression test scripts to use.
1717 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1718 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1719 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1720 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1722 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1723 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1724 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1725 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1726 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1727 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1728 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1729 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1730 dgit rather than system one.
1731 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1733 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1734 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1735 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1736 used by default for any distro.
1737 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1738 the push of the suite branch ref.
1739 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1740 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1744 dgit (0.21) unstable; urgency=medium
1746 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1747 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1748 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1749 with all the building methods.
1750 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1751 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1753 Error message improvements:
1754 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1755 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1756 in the error message, to be its child.
1757 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1759 Better workflow flexibility:
1760 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1761 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1763 Support for Debian backports suites:
1764 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1765 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1766 * Use correct default archive location.
1767 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1770 Packaging improvement:
1771 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1772 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1773 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1800 * sshpsql archive query method passes LANG=C. Closes:#729788.
1801 * Subcommand program or argument options containing hyphens work.
1802 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
1806 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,
1807 which contains dget, doesn't require them because dput itself works

1812 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
1815 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1817 Improved behaviours:
1818 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1819 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1820 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1821 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1822 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1823 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1824 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1825 Distribution field as the suite.
1826 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1829 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1830 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1833 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1834 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1835 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1836 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1838 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1839 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1840 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1842 Documentation and message fixes:
1843 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1844 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1845 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1846 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1847 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1848 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1851 Internal and debugging improvements:
1852 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1853 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1854 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1878 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
1879 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1880 etc. output when stdout is redirected.

1887 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
1888 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
1889 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1890 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
1891 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

1899 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1900 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1901 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1907 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1908 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1909 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1910 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1911 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1912 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1913 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1914 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1916 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1917 --dry-run often not work at all.
1918 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1920 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1921 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1922 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1931 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.

1939 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1940 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1942 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1944 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1945 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1946 exactly to the top git commit.
1947 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1948 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1949 and can also have more skew.)
1950 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1951 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1952 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1953 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1954 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1955 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1956 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1957 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1958 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1959 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
