70 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
71 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
72 is left somewhere useful.
73 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.

216 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
217 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
218 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward

225 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
228 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
229 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.

231 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
232 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
233 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
234 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
236 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
237 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
239 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
240 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
241 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
242 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
243 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
244 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
245 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
246 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
247 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
248 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
249 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
250 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
251 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
252 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
253 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
254 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
255 from dgit about what it was doing.
256 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
258 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
259 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
261 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
262 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

271 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and

279 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
280 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
283 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
284 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
285 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
286 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
287 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
288 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
289 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
290 messages. Closes:#800078.
291 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
292 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
293 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
294 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.

305 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
306 anyway. Closes:#827892.
307 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
308 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
309 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
310 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
313 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
314 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
315 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
316 Cosmetic change only.
317 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
318 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
319 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
320 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
321 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
322 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
323 to rollback and release the lock.
324 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.

326 different test case git working tree tarballs.
327 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
329 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
330 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
331 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
332 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
333 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
335 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

358 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
359 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
360 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
361 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
362 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
365 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
366 removed by rules clean.

535 * Remove an obsolete comment from the code.
536 * Improve an error message from dgit-repos-policy-debian.
537 * Test suite: Break out t-make-hook-link.
538 * Fix a manpage typo.

542 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
544 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
546 * Client uses new infrastructure:
547 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
548 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
550 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
553 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
554 packages. Closes:#764606.
555 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
556 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
557 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
558 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
560 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
562 Other significant improvements:
564 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
565 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
567 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
568 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
569 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
571 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
572 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
574 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
576 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
577 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
578 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
580 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
584 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
585 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
586 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
587 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
592 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
593 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
594 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
595 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
596 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
597 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
599 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
600 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
602 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
604 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
605 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
606 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
607 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
609 Documentation improvements:
611 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
612 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
613 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
614 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
615 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
616 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
617 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
619 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
621 Behind-the-scenes work:
623 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
624 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
625 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
626 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
627 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
628 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
629 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
630 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
631 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
632 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
634 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
635 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

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

651 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
652 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
654 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
655 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
656 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
658 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
659 re-retreive the .dsc.
660 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
661 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
662 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
663 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
664 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
665 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
668 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
669 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
670 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
672 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
673 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
674 message instead. Closes:#736526.
675 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
676 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
677 host. Closes:#736529.
678 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
679 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
680 regression test scripts to use.
681 * Print better message for unknown operations.
682 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
683 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
684 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
686 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
687 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
688 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
689 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
690 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
691 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
692 * Fixed a manpage typo.
693 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
694 dgit rather than system one.
695 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
697 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
698 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
699 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
700 used by default for any distro.
701 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
702 the push of the suite branch ref.
703 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
704 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

708 dgit (0.21) unstable; urgency=medium
710 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
711 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
712 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
713 with all the building methods.
714 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
715 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
717 Error message improvements:
718 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
719 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
720 in the error message, to be its child.
721 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
723 Better workflow flexibility:
724 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
725 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
727 Support for Debian backports suites:
728 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
729 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
730 * Use correct default archive location.
731 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
734 Packaging improvement:
735 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
736 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
737 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

776 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
779 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
782 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
783 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
784 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
785 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
786 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
787 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
788 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
789 Distribution field as the suite.
790 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
793 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
794 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
797 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
798 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
799 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
800 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
802 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
803 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
804 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
806 Documentation and message fixes:
807 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
808 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
809 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
810 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
811 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
812 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
815 Internal and debugging improvements:
816 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
817 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
818 * Some code motion and cleanups.

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

873 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
874 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
875 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
876 * Remove scary warning from Description.
877 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
878 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
880 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
881 --dry-run often not work at all.
882 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
884 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.

886 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

903 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.

906 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
908 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
909 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
910 exactly to the top git commit.
911 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
912 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
913 and can also have more skew.)
914 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
915 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
916 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
917 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
918 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
919 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
920 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
921 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
922 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
923 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
