34 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
35 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
36 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
37 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
38 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
39 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
40 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
41 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
42 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
43 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
44 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
46 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
47 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
48 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
49 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
50 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
51 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
52 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
53 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
54 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).
56 i18n - new translations [Frans Spiesschaert]:
57 * nl, dgit-user(7). Closes:#918253.
58 * nl, messages. Closes:#917148.

62 * dgit(1): Fix a formatting typo (spurious .TP). Closes:#917194.
63 * dgit-user(7): Fix formatting error in comment about multi-arch.
64 * dgit-maint-debrebase(7): handle DFSG-filtering for a new package.
65 [Sean Whitton] Closes:#915973.
67 Error message improvements:
68 * dgit: When reporting no such package, say `source package'.
69 * dgit: Fix reference to -wdn/-wddn in a message.
70 * dgit: cleaning: Minorly improved handling of note about ignores.
71 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Remove duplicated text from force
72 report message. Closes:#913676.

110 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
111 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
112 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
113 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
114 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
115 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
116 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
117 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
118 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
119 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
120 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
122 dgit - Improved behaviours:
123 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
124 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
125 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
126 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
127 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
129 dgit - Important bugfixes:
130 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
131 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
132 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
133 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
134 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
135 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
136 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
137 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
139 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
140 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
141 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
142 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
143 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
144 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
145 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
147 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
148 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
149 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
150 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
151 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
154 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
155 is therefore not done.
156 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
157 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
158 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
159 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
160 * dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
161 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
163 Consequential changes:
164 * Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
165 * Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
166 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
169 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
170 * po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

551 * Merge the experimental branch containing the fianl

553 - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
554 current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
555 - There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests
556 in a loop (eg to test ever commit), it is still good to set
557 DGIT_TEST_RETRY_COUNT=3 (say).
559 * test suite: Test that manpages format with only expected warnings.

738 New features [Sean Whitton]:
739 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
740 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
741 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
742 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
743 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
744 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.

758 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
759 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
760 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
761 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
762 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
763 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
766 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in

801 Other improvements to dgit:
802 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
803 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
804 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
807 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
808 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
809 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints

816 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
817 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
820 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
821 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
822 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.

1095 * Dgit: field now records the nominal distro name, and a hint
1096 for a tag and url where the git objects (including any rewrite

1101 * dgit config handling: Honour command-line and context-provided
1102 suite and distro more reliably and consistently.
1103 * Parsing of extended Dgit fields by import-dsc was broken;
1104 and is now fixed even for more-extended ones.
1105 * dgit clone-dgit-repos-server uses readonly access.
1107 * fetch and pull ignore the changelog suite when it is UNRELEASED.

1112 * distro alias facility in config space. (Primarily for testing.)
1113 * Undocumented --config-lookup-explode= feature. (For testing.)

1115 * Honour dgit-distro.*.default-suite and dgit.default.default-suite.
1118 * Improve debugging output a bit.
1119 * Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/SUITE,
1120 which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
1121 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.

1161 Dealing with fallout from #849041:

1163 * New rewrite map feature, which allows dgit git server to adjust
1164 clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
1165 effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
1166 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
1169 * New test case for history-rewriting.
1170 * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
1171 the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

1454 Incompatible change:
1455 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1456 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1457 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1458 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1459 to change for the dgit user.
1460 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1461 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1464 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1465 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1468 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:

1470 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1471 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1472 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1473 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1474 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1476 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1477 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1479 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1480 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1481 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1482 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1483 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1484 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1485 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1486 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1487 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1488 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1489 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1490 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1491 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1492 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1493 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1494 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1495 from dgit about what it was doing.
1496 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1498 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1499 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1501 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1502 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

1516 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.

1518 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1519 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)

1523 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1524 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1525 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1526 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1527 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1528 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1529 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1530 messages. Closes:#800078.

1550 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1553 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1554 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1555 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1556 Cosmetic change only.
1557 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1558 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1559 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1560 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1561 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1562 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1563 to rollback and release the lock.

1566 different test case git working tree tarballs.

1784 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1786 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1787 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1788 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1790 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1793 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1794 packages. Closes:#764606.
1795 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1796 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1797 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1798 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1800 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1802 Other significant improvements:
1804 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1805 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1807 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1808 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1809 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1811 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1812 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1814 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1816 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1817 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1818 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1820 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1824 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1825 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1826 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1827 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1832 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1833 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1834 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1835 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1836 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1837 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1839 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1840 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1842 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1844 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1845 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1846 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1847 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1849 Documentation improvements:
1851 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1852 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1853 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1854 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1855 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1856 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1857 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1859 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1861 Behind-the-scenes work:
1863 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1864 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1865 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1866 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1867 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1868 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1869 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1870 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1871 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.

1924 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1926 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1927 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1928 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1929 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1930 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1931 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1932 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1933 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1934 dgit rather than system one.
1935 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1937 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1938 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1939 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1940 used by default for any distro.
1941 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1942 the push of the suite branch ref.
1943 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1944 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1952 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1953 with all the building methods.
1954 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1955 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1957 Error message improvements:
1958 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1959 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1960 in the error message, to be its child.
1961 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1963 Better workflow flexibility:

1965 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1967 Support for Debian backports suites:

1969 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1970 * Use correct default archive location.
1971 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1974 Packaging improvement:
1975 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1976 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless

2025 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2026 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2027 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.

2081 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
2082 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
2083 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
2084 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
2085 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

2091 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
2092 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
2093 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
2094 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
2095 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

2103 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
2104 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
2105 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

2111 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
2112 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
2113 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2114 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2115 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2116 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2117 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2118 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2120 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2121 --dry-run often not work at all.
2122 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2124 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2125 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2126 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2135 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
2136 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
2137 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

2143 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2144 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2146 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2148 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2149 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2150 exactly to the top git commit.
2151 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2152 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2153 and can also have more skew.)
2154 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2155 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2156 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2157 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2158 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2159 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2160 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2161 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2162 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2163 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2179 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
2180 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2181 the remote suite branch.
2182 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
2183 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

2194 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

2204 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
2205 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

2228 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
2229 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
2230 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.
