has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
to change for the dgit user.
+ Major new feature:
+ * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
+ split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
+ other workflow tools.
+
New checks and improved behaviours:
* When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
* dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
- expect, before calling mergechanges.
+ expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
* dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
- avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
+ avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
* dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
.dsc.
* Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
* Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
as a safety check.
* No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
- Instead, insist on a single one.
+ Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
* dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
+ * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
+ in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
+ * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
+ for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
+ * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
+ git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
+ * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
+ look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
+ based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
+ * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
+ any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
+ * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
+ from dgit about what it was doing.
+ * Make --quilt=gbp the default for dgit gbp-build.
+ * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
+ * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
+ Closes:#800060.
+ * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
+ applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
+ Closes:#833025.
+ * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
+ by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
+
+ Infrastructure:
+ * Better error handling in dgit-repos-policy-debian.
+ * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
+ taints in db (!).
Documentation:
* Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
+ * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
+ * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
+ of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
+ * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
Bugfixes:
* When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
messages. Closes:#800078.
* Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
+ * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
+ internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
+ * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
+ * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
+ --quilt modes.
+ * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
+ * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
+ * Fix up .orig detection to be less trustful of (ambiguous) filenames.
+ * Fix up .orig detection to correctly allow exactly the right
+ .orig-comp components accorging to dpkg-source(1).
+ * Fix up .orig detection to handle .asc's (and other signatures)
+ of .orig components the same way as their tarballs.
+ * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
+ * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
+ * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
+ * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
+ etc. Closes:#827892.
+ * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
+ as is proper. Closes:#835858.
+ * Get sense of failed clone failed cleanup error reporting check
+ correct. Closes:#796773.
Test suite:
* When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
* Test quilt single-debian-patch.
* Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
different test case git working tree tarballs.
+ * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
+ existing taints.
+ * Provide better log output for certain failures.
