101 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
102 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
103 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
104 unstitched. This is more friendly.
105 * convert-from-*: Snag on patches in d/patches which are not in series,
106 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.

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

523 dgit (4.2) unstable; urgency=low
525 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
527 New features [Sean Whitton]:
528 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
529 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
530 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
531 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
532 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
533 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
535 Documentation improvements:
536 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
537 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
538 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
539 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
540 Closes:#864873,#878433.
541 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
542 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
545 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
546 specially. Closes:#886442.
547 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
548 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
549 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
550 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
551 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
552 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
555 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
556 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
559 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
560 won't try to run it).
561 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
562 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
563 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
564 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

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

1082 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
1083 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
1084 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).
1087 * Test suite: Add fakeroot and make to Test-Depends. These aren't
1088 necessarily pulled in by anything else. (dpkg-dev Recommends
1089 build-essential. But we don't actually need build-essential.)

1096 * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,
1097 so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
1098 * New import-dsc feature.
1099 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1100 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1101 is left somewhere useful.
1102 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
1103 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any
1104 timestamp-dependent FTBFS bugs (eg #842452).

1108 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1110 Documentation improvements:
1111 * dgit-*(7). Many new tutorial manpages, several written and many
1112 improved by Sean Whitton.

1114 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1115 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1116 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1117 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1121 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1122 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1124 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1125 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
1127 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
1128 like testing. Closes:#842621.
1129 * Properly fetch all archive dgit view tags, as we intended.
1130 * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)

1155 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.

1198 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1199 but not be refreshed even by a build.

1243 Incompatible change:
1244 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1245 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1246 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1247 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1248 to change for the dgit user.
1249 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1250 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1253 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1254 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1257 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1258 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1259 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1260 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1261 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1262 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1263 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1265 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1266 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1268 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1269 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1270 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1271 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1272 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1273 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1274 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1275 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1276 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1277 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1278 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1279 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1280 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1281 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1282 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1283 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1284 from dgit about what it was doing.
1285 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1287 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1288 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1290 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1291 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1292 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1296 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1297 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1299 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1300 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1301 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1305 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1306 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1307 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1308 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1309 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1312 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1313 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1314 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1315 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1316 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1317 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1318 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1319 messages. Closes:#800078.
1320 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1321 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1322 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1323 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1324 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1325 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1327 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1328 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1329 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1330 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1331 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1332 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1333 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1334 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1335 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1336 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1337 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1338 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1339 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1342 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1343 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1344 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1345 Cosmetic change only.
1346 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1347 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1348 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1349 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1350 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1351 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1352 to rollback and release the lock.
1353 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1354 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1355 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1356 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1358 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1359 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1360 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1361 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1362 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one

1583 packages. Closes:#764606.
1584 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1585 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1586 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1587 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1589 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1591 Other significant improvements:
1593 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1594 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1596 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1597 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1598 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1600 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1601 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1603 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1605 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1606 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1607 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1609 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1613 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1614 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1615 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1616 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1621 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1622 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1623 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1624 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1625 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1626 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1628 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1629 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1631 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1633 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1634 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1635 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1636 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1638 Documentation improvements:
1640 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1641 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1642 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1643 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1644 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1645 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1646 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1648 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1650 Behind-the-scenes work:
1652 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1653 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1654 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1655 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1656 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1657 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1658 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1659 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1660 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1661 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1663 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1664 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1672 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

1683 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1684 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1685 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1687 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1688 re-retreive the .dsc.
1689 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1690 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1691 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1692 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1693 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1694 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1697 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1698 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1699 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1701 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1702 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1703 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1704 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1705 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1706 host. Closes:#736529.
1707 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1708 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1709 regression test scripts to use.
1710 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1711 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1712 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1713 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1715 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1716 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1717 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1718 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1719 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1720 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1721 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1722 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1723 dgit rather than system one.
1724 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1726 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1727 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1728 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1729 used by default for any distro.
1730 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1731 the push of the suite branch ref.
1732 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1733 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1739 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1740 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1741 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1742 with all the building methods.
1743 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1744 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1746 Error message improvements:
1747 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1748 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1749 in the error message, to be its child.
1750 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1752 Better workflow flexibility:
1753 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1754 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1756 Support for Debian backports suites:
1757 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1758 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1759 * Use correct default archive location.
1760 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1763 Packaging improvement:
1764 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1765 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1766 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1808 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1810 Improved behaviours:
1811 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1812 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1813 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1814 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1815 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1816 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1817 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1818 Distribution field as the suite.
1819 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1822 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1823 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1826 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1827 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1828 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1829 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1831 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1832 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1833 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1835 Documentation and message fixes:
1836 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1837 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1838 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1839 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1840 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1841 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1844 Internal and debugging improvements:

1900 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.

1902 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1903 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1904 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1905 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1906 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1907 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1909 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1910 --dry-run often not work at all.
1911 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1913 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.

1915 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1935 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1937 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1938 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1939 exactly to the top git commit.
1940 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1941 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1942 and can also have more skew.)
1943 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1944 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1945 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1946 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1947 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1948 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1949 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1950 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1951 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1952 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
