635 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
638 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
639 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
640 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
641 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
642 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
643 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
644 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
646 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
647 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
649 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
650 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
651 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
652 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
653 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
654 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
655 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
656 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
657 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
658 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
659 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
660 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
661 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
662 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
663 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
664 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
665 from dgit about what it was doing.
666 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
668 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
669 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
671 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
672 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
673 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
677 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
678 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
680 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
681 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
682 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
686 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
687 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
688 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
689 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
690 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
693 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
694 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
695 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
696 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
697 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
698 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
699 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
700 messages. Closes:#800078.
701 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
702 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
703 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
704 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
705 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
706 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
708 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
709 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
710 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
711 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
712 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
713 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
714 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
715 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
716 anyway. Closes:#827892.
717 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
718 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
719 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
720 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
723 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
724 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
725 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
726 Cosmetic change only.
727 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
728 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
729 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
730 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
731 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
732 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
733 to rollback and release the lock.
734 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
735 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
736 different test case git working tree tarballs.
737 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
739 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
740 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
741 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
742 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
743 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
745 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

755 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

770 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
771 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
772 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
775 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
776 removed by rules clean.
779 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,

954 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
956 * Client uses new infrastructure:
957 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
958 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
960 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
963 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
964 packages. Closes:#764606.
965 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
966 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
967 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
968 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
970 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
972 Other significant improvements:
974 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
975 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
977 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
978 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
979 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
981 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
982 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
984 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
986 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
987 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
988 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
990 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
994 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
995 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
996 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
997 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1002 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1003 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1004 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1005 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1006 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1007 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1009 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1010 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1012 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1014 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1015 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1016 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1017 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1019 Documentation improvements:
1021 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1022 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.

1033 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.

1035 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1036 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1037 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1038 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1039 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1040 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based

1098 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1099 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1100 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1101 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1102 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1103 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1104 dgit rather than system one.
1105 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1107 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1108 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1109 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1110 used by default for any distro.
1111 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1112 the push of the suite branch ref.
1113 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1114 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1120 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1121 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1122 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1123 with all the building methods.
1124 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1125 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1127 Error message improvements:
1128 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1129 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1130 in the error message, to be its child.
1131 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1133 Better workflow flexibility:
1134 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1135 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1137 Support for Debian backports suites:
1138 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1139 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1140 * Use correct default archive location.
1141 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1144 Packaging improvement:
1145 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1146 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1147 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1176 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
1180 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,

1186 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
1189 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1191 Improved behaviours:
1192 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1193 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1194 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1195 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1196 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1197 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1198 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1199 Distribution field as the suite.
1200 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1203 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1204 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1207 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1208 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1209 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1210 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1212 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1213 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1214 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1216 Documentation and message fixes:
1217 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1218 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1219 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1220 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1221 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1222 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1225 Internal and debugging improvements:
1226 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1227 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1228 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1243 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.

1252 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
1253 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1254 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
1255 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

1261 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
1262 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
1263 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1264 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
1265 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

1273 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1274 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1275 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1279 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
1281 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1282 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1283 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1284 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1285 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1286 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1287 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1288 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1290 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1291 --dry-run often not work at all.
1292 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1294 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1295 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1296 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1305 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.

1311 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1313 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1314 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1316 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1318 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1319 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1320 exactly to the top git commit.
1321 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1322 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1323 and can also have more skew.)
1324 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1325 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1326 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1327 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1328 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1329 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1330 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1331 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1332 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1333 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1349 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1350 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1351 the remote suite branch.
1352 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1353 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1364 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

1373 * Manpage formatting fix.
1374 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>

1397 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1398 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1399 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1400 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.
