289 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
290 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now

520 * git-debrebase, a new git workflow tool, in its own package.
521 * dgit will now, when appropriate, check if it should call
524 [ Thanks to Sean Whitton for much useful input, and for
525 dgit-maint-debrebase(7). ]
528 * Fix the exit status of programs in dgit.deb, to avoid the Perl
529 misfeature which sometimes copies $! to the exit status.
530 * When checking that the tree is clean, check the git index too.
531 * In quilt_fixup_multipatch, work around git checkout paths
532 not deleting files. (Hypothetical bug AFAIAA.)
533 * Respect --quilt=nofix even if single-debian-patch.
536 * "confess" when we die due to a warning, rather than symply dieing.
539 * Move $playground global to dgit.
540 * Break git_get_symref and $extra_orig_namepart_re out into Dgit.pm.
541 * Changes to support git-debrebase.

567 dgit (4.2) unstable; urgency=low
569 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
571 New features [Sean Whitton]:
572 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
573 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
574 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
575 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
576 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
577 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
579 Documentation improvements:
580 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
581 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
582 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
583 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
584 Closes:#864873,#878433.
585 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
586 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
589 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
590 specially. Closes:#886442.
591 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
592 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
593 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
594 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
595 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
596 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
599 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
600 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
603 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
604 won't try to run it).
605 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
606 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
607 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
608 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

624 dgit (4.1) experimental; urgency=medium
626 Important improvements to dgit:
627 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
628 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
629 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
630 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
631 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
632 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
634 Other improvements to dgit:
635 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
636 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
637 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
640 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
641 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
642 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
643 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
646 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
649 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
650 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
653 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
654 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
655 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
656 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
658 * Other tests for new features.
659 * Various refactoring.

1125 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.

1143 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1144 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1145 is left somewhere useful.
1146 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.

1287 Incompatible change:
1288 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1289 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1290 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1291 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1292 to change for the dgit user.
1293 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1294 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1297 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1298 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1301 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1302 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1303 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1304 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1305 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1306 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1307 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1309 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1310 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1312 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1313 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1314 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1315 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1316 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1317 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1318 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1319 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1320 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1321 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1322 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1323 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1324 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1325 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1326 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1327 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1328 from dgit about what it was doing.
1329 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1331 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1332 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1334 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1335 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1336 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.

1343 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1344 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1345 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1349 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1350 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1351 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1352 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1353 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1356 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1357 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1358 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1359 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1360 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1361 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1362 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1363 messages. Closes:#800078.
1364 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1365 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.

1367 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1368 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1369 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some

1372 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1373 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1374 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1375 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1376 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1377 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1378 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1379 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1380 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1381 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1382 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1383 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1386 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1387 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1388 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1389 Cosmetic change only.
1390 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1391 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1392 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1393 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1394 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1395 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1396 to rollback and release the lock.
1397 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1398 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1399 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1400 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1402 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

1580 now works. Closes:#791447.
1581 * Memoise git config lookups (big speedup!)
1582 * Provide -wdd aka --clean=dpkg-source-d. Closes:#792433.
1583 * Provide -wc aka --clean=check.
1586 * Remove some obsolete caveats from BUGS.
1587 * Reorganise and complete the configuration section.
1588 * Remove obselete comment about DMs not being able to push.
1589 We have, for now, a way to add keys manually. Closes:#720173.
1592 * Remove configuration relating to alioth.
1593 * Provide for different access mechanisms when pushing.
1594 * Provide for configurable git url suffix.
1595 * Allow git-url to be '' to force fallback to git-proto etc.
1596 * Provide for checking git presence via http[s].
1597 * Do some quoting on debug output (needed if the server might not
1598 be trustworthy and might send us bad stuff).
1599 * Talk to push.dgit.debian.org, rather than the .debian.net alias.
1602 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.
1603 * Provide cgit-regen-config command for cgi-grnet-01.
1604 * Make dgit-ssh-dispatch not spew (harmless) warnings if caller
1605 tries for a shell session (ie SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND not set).
1608 * Remove an obsolete comment from the code.
1609 * Improve an error message from dgit-repos-policy-debian.
1610 * Test suite: Break out t-make-hook-link.
1611 * Fix a manpage typo.

1615 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
1617 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1619 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1620 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1621 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1623 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1626 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1627 packages. Closes:#764606.
1628 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1629 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1630 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1631 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1633 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1635 Other significant improvements:
1637 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1638 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1640 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1641 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1642 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1644 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1645 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1647 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1649 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1650 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1651 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1653 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1657 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1658 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1659 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1660 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1665 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1666 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1667 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1668 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1669 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1670 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1672 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1673 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1675 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1677 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1678 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1679 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1680 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1682 Documentation improvements:
1684 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1685 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1686 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1687 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1688 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1689 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1690 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1692 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1694 Behind-the-scenes work:
1696 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1697 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1698 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1699 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1700 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1701 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1702 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1703 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1704 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1705 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1707 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1708 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1712 dgit (0.22.1) unstable; urgency=high
1714 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
1715 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
1716 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

1724 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
1725 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
1727 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1728 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1729 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1731 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1732 re-retreive the .dsc.
1733 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1734 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1735 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1736 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1737 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1738 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1741 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1742 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1743 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1745 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1746 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1747 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1748 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1749 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1750 host. Closes:#736529.
1751 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1752 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1753 regression test scripts to use.
1754 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1755 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1756 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1757 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1759 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1760 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1761 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1762 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1763 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1764 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1765 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1766 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1767 dgit rather than system one.
1768 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1770 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1771 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1772 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1773 used by default for any distro.
1774 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1775 the push of the suite branch ref.
1776 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1777 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1781 dgit (0.21) unstable; urgency=medium
1783 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1784 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1785 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1786 with all the building methods.
1787 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1788 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1790 Error message improvements:
1791 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1792 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1793 in the error message, to be its child.
1794 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1796 Better workflow flexibility:
1797 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1798 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1800 Support for Debian backports suites:
1801 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1802 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1803 * Use correct default archive location.
1804 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1807 Packaging improvement:
1808 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1809 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1810 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1852 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1854 Improved behaviours:
1855 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1856 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1857 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1858 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1859 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1860 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1861 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1862 Distribution field as the suite.
1863 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1866 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1867 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1870 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1871 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1872 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1873 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1875 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1876 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1877 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1879 Documentation and message fixes:
1880 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1881 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1882 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1883 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1884 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1885 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1888 Internal and debugging improvements:
1889 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1890 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

1926 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.

1944 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.

1946 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1947 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1948 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1949 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1950 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1951 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1953 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1954 --dry-run often not work at all.
1955 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1957 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1958 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1959 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1979 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1981 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1982 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1983 exactly to the top git commit.
1984 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1985 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1986 and can also have more skew.)
1987 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1988 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1989 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1990 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1991 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1992 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1993 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1994 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1995 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1996 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
