1 dgit (0.23~) unstable; urgency=low
3 * Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
4 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
7 * New handling for .pc directory: dgit history now no longer contains
8 .pc at all. It is deleted whenever we find it. (When doing quilt
9 fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary directory so that we
10 can do dpkg-source --comit.) Closes:#764606. INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE -
11 older versions of dgit will have trouble with these git histories.
13 * Replace many calls to stat with new wrapper stat_exists; improves
14 error handling and simplifies the code.
16 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
18 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
21 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
22 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
23 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
25 * dgit-repos-server: Handle ' ' in SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND (which some
26 git versions send, sigh).
28 * New dgit-ssh-dispatch infrastructure script for use on dgit repos
29 server as part of ssh forced command.
31 * Test suite restructuring to support new tests.
33 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
35 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
36 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
37 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
39 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
40 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
42 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
44 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
45 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
47 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
48 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
51 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
52 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
55 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witht -wn, -wg,
58 * Document in manpage under `dgit push' that it is best to build with
59 dgit too. Closes:#763333.
61 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
62 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
63 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
65 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
66 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
68 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
69 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
71 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.
73 * Show git config queries only with debuglevel 3 (-DDD) and higher.
75 * Fix an undef reference in error message processing when quilt
76 fixup linearisation fails.
78 * Quilt linearisation with .pc removal passes -f to git-rm. (Otherwise
79 we may find that .pc/applied_patches prevents the commit.)
81 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
83 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
84 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
86 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
87 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
89 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
90 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
91 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
93 * Manpages: Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
94 * Manpages: Other clarifications and improvements.
95 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
97 * For non-Debian distros, debiantag() uses distro name a la DEP-14.
98 * dgit: Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update
99 tags referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.

105 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
106 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
107 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

115 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
116 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
118 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
119 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
120 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
122 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
123 re-retreive the .dsc.
124 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
125 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
126 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
127 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
128 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
129 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
132 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
133 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
134 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
136 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
137 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
138 message instead. Closes:#736526.
139 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
140 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
141 host. Closes:#736529.
142 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
143 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
144 regression test scripts to use.
145 * Print better message for unknown operations.
146 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
147 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
148 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
150 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
151 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
152 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
153 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
154 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
155 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
156 * Fixed a manpage typo.
157 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
158 dgit rather than system one.
159 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
161 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
162 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
163 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
164 used by default for any distro.
165 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
166 the push of the suite branch ref.
167 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
168 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

174 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
175 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
176 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
177 with all the building methods.
178 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
179 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
181 Error message improvements:
182 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
183 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
184 in the error message, to be its child.
185 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
187 Better workflow flexibility:
188 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
189 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
191 Support for Debian backports suites:
192 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
193 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
194 * Use correct default archive location.
195 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
198 Packaging improvement:
199 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
200 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
201 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

243 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
246 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
247 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
248 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
249 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
250 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
251 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
252 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
253 Distribution field as the suite.
254 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
257 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
258 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
261 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
262 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
263 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
264 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
266 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
267 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
268 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
270 Documentation and message fixes:
271 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
272 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
273 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
274 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
275 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
276 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
279 Internal and debugging improvements:

338 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
339 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
340 * Remove scary warning from Description.
341 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
342 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
344 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
345 --dry-run often not work at all.
346 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
348 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.

370 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
372 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
373 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
374 exactly to the top git commit.
375 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
376 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
377 and can also have more skew.)
378 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
379 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
380 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.

382 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
383 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
384 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
385 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
386 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
387 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
