188 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
189 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
190 The new binary package is small, but
191 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
192 dgit test suite; however,
193 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
194 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
195 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
197 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
199 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
202 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
203 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
204 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
205 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
206 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
207 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
208 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
209 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
210 * Some other refactoring.
213 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
217 * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by
221 * Test cases for new tools for "git-push-to-upload" workflow.

232 dgit (9.0) unstable; urgency=medium
234 dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
235 * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
236 (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
237 The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016. No version of dgit
238 without them was in any Debian release. We don't expect there are any
239 sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
240 using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.
242 git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
243 * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
244 would crash due to an argument parser bug. Closes:#930214.
245 * git-debrebase(1): typo fix. Closes:#930215.
247 dgit - new capabilities:
248 * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
249 Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
250 "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
251 [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman] Closes:#926640.
252 * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
253 Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball]. [Thanks for info from Shengjing
254 Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
255 Closes:#903392. Closes:#931253.
258 * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
259 (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
260 * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.
262 dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
263 * Expand on description of --include-dirty. New text may help
264 user avoid unexpected file deletion. Closes:#930922.
265 * dgit-maint-*(7): Suggest --name-status --diff-filter. Closes:#930956.
266 * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits. Closes:#930964.
268 dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
269 * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
270 (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
271 * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
272 (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
273 * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
274 * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
275 * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
276 * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
277 * Introduce rpush protocol version 5. Minimum version is now 4.
278 * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
279 * Considerable test suite work including new tests.
282 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Test taint removal. Closes:#929249.

326 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
327 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
328 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
329 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
330 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
331 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
332 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
333 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
334 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
335 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
336 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
338 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
339 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
340 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
341 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
342 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
343 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
344 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
345 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
346 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).

402 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
403 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
404 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
405 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
406 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
407 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
408 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
409 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
410 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
411 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
412 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
414 dgit - Improved behaviours:
415 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
416 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
417 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
418 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
419 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
421 dgit - Important bugfixes:
422 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
423 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
424 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
425 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
426 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
427 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
428 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
429 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
431 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
432 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
433 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
434 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
435 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
436 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
437 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
439 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
440 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
441 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
442 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
443 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
446 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
447 is therefore not done.
448 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
449 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
450 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.

743 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to

747 dgit behavioural changes:
748 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
749 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
750 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
751 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when

1039 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
1040 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
1041 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
1042 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
1043 Closes:#864873,#878433.
1044 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
1045 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
1048 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
1049 specially. Closes:#886442.
1050 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
1051 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
1052 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
1053 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
1054 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
1055 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
1058 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
1059 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
1062 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
1063 won't try to run it).
1064 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
1065 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
1066 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
1067 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

1083 dgit (4.1) experimental; urgency=medium
1085 Important improvements to dgit:
1086 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
1087 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
1088 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
1089 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
1090 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
1091 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
1093 Other improvements to dgit:
1094 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
1095 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
1096 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
1099 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
1100 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
1101 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
1102 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
1105 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
1108 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
1109 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
1112 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
1113 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
1114 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
1115 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
1117 * Other tests for new features.
1118 * Various refactoring.

1142 Important bugfixes to other components:
1143 * dgit-repos-server: Do not reject commits with no author/committer
1144 email address (but still insist on date, and hence on the actual
1145 committer and author commit header fields). Peter Green reports that
1146 eg 66c65d90db100435 in upstream linux.git is such a commit (and is
1147 accepted by github). Closes:#863353.
1150 * t-report-fail: print $PWD as part of failure message.
1151 * import-dsc: Test missing files, particularly in ..
1152 * run git gc on tests/worktrees/example_1.0.tar.

1393 * dgit config handling: Honour command-line and context-provided
1394 suite and distro more reliably and consistently.

1399 * fetch and pull ignore the changelog suite when it is UNRELEASED.
1401 * dgit-badcommit-fixup: Do not investigate symrefs. Closes:#850547.
1404 * distro alias facility in config space. (Primarily for testing.)

1407 * Honour dgit-distro.*.default-suite and dgit.default.default-suite.
1410 * Improve debugging output a bit.
1411 * Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/SUITE,
1412 which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
1413 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.
1414 * When generating orig+debian/patches view, copy debian/ from

1426 * badcommit-rewrite: Fix operation using installed version of fixup.
1427 * Arrange to pass --debug-quick-random to gpg-agent.
1428 * Strip block count out of find -ls output - it is unstable!
1429 * gbp-orig: Add a missing -m, without which git would run an
1430 editor if stdout was a tty (!)
1431 * Add t-stunt-parsechangelog to a few tests which were missing it.
1432 * Tests for the new protocol feature.

1583 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
1584 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.
1585 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
1586 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
1587 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).
1590 * Test suite: Add fakeroot and make to Test-Depends. These aren't
1591 necessarily pulled in by anything else. (dpkg-dev Recommends
1592 build-essential. But we don't actually need build-essential.)

1599 * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,
1600 so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
1601 * New import-dsc feature.
1602 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1603 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1604 is left somewhere useful.
1605 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
1606 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any
1607 timestamp-dependent FTBFS bugs (eg #842452).

1611 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1613 Documentation improvements:

1615 improved by Sean Whitton.

1617 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1618 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1619 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1620 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1624 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1625 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1627 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1628 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
1630 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
1631 like testing. Closes:#842621.

1633 * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)

1658 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.

1701 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1702 but not be refreshed even by a build.

1746 Incompatible change:
1747 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1748 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1749 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1750 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1751 to change for the dgit user.
1752 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1753 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1756 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1757 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1760 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1761 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1762 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1763 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1764 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1765 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1766 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1768 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1769 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1771 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1772 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1773 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1774 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1775 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1776 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1777 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1778 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1779 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1780 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1781 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1782 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1783 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1784 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1785 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1786 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1787 from dgit about what it was doing.
1788 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1790 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1791 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1793 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1794 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1795 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1799 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1800 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1802 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1803 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1804 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1808 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.

1810 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1811 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1812 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1815 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1816 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1817 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1818 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1819 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1820 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1821 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1822 messages. Closes:#800078.
1823 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1824 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.

1826 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.

1828 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some

1831 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1832 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1833 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1834 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1835 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.

1837 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1838 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1839 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1840 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1841 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1842 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1845 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1846 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1847 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1848 Cosmetic change only.
1849 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1850 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1851 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1852 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.

1854 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1855 to rollback and release the lock.
1856 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.

1858 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1859 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1861 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

2082 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
2085 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
2086 packages. Closes:#764606.
2087 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
2088 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
2089 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
2090 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
2092 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
2094 Other significant improvements:
2096 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
2097 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
2099 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
2100 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
2101 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
2103 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
2104 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
2106 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
2108 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
2109 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
2110 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
2112 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
2116 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
2117 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
2118 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2119 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2124 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2125 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2126 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2127 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2128 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2129 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2131 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2132 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2134 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2136 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2137 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
2138 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
2139 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
2141 Documentation improvements:
2143 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
2144 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
2145 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
2146 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
2147 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
2148 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
2149 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
2151 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
2153 Behind-the-scenes work:
2155 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
2156 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
2157 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2158 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2159 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2160 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
2161 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
2162 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
2163 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
2164 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
2166 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
2167 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

2175 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

2186 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
2187 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
2188 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
2190 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
2191 re-retreive the .dsc.
2192 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
2193 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
2194 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
2195 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
2196 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
2197 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
2200 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
2201 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
2202 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2204 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2205 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2206 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2207 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2208 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2209 host. Closes:#736529.
2210 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2211 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2212 regression test scripts to use.
2213 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2214 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2215 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2216 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2218 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2219 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2220 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2221 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2222 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2223 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2224 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2225 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2226 dgit rather than system one.
2227 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2229 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2230 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2231 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2232 used by default for any distro.
2233 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2234 the push of the suite branch ref.
2235 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2236 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2242 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2243 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2244 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2245 with all the building methods.
2246 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2247 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2249 Error message improvements:
2250 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2251 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2252 in the error message, to be its child.
2253 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2255 Better workflow flexibility:
2256 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2257 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2259 Support for Debian backports suites:
2260 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2261 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2262 * Use correct default archive location.
2263 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2266 Packaging improvement:
2267 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2268 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2269 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2311 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2313 Improved behaviours:
2314 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2315 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2316 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2317 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2318 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2319 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2320 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2321 Distribution field as the suite.
2322 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2325 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2326 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2329 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2330 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2331 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2332 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2334 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2335 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2336 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2338 Documentation and message fixes:
2339 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2340 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2341 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2342 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2343 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2344 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2347 Internal and debugging improvements:

2403 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.

2405 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2406 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2407 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2408 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2409 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2410 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2412 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2413 --dry-run often not work at all.
2414 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2416 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2417 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2418 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2435 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2436 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2438 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2440 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2441 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2442 exactly to the top git commit.
2443 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2444 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2445 and can also have more skew.)
2446 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2447 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2448 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2449 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2450 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2451 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2452 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2453 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2454 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2455 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
