603 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
606 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
607 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
608 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
609 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
610 to change for the dgit user.
611 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
612 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
615 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
616 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
619 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
620 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
621 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
622 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
623 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
624 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
625 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
627 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
628 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
630 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
631 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
632 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
633 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
634 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
635 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
636 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
637 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
638 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
639 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
640 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
641 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
642 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
643 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
644 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
645 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
646 from dgit about what it was doing.
647 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
649 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
650 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
652 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
653 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
654 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
658 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
659 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
661 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
662 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
663 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
667 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
668 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
669 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
670 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
671 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
674 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
675 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
676 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
677 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
678 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
679 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
680 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
681 messages. Closes:#800078.
682 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
683 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
684 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
685 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
686 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
687 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
689 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
690 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
691 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
692 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
693 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
694 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
695 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
696 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
697 anyway. Closes:#827892.
698 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
699 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
700 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
701 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
704 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
705 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
706 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
707 Cosmetic change only.
708 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
709 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
710 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
711 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
712 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
713 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
714 to rollback and release the lock.
715 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
716 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
717 different test case git working tree tarballs.
718 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
720 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
721 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
722 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
723 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
724 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
726 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

733 * Unbreak --dry-run (`exiting subroutine via next', broken in
734 ac221d67, bug released in 0.22).
735 * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, properly escape
736 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).
737 * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, use -f and sometimes -A,
738 so as to avoid being broken by any .gitignore, etc.

747 New checks and improved behaviours:
748 * Detect and reject git trees containing debian/source/local-options
749 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
750 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
751 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
752 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
753 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
756 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
757 removed by rules clean.
760 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,
761 so that we don't need build-depends.

935 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
937 * Client uses new infrastructure:
938 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
939 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
941 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
944 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
945 packages. Closes:#764606.
946 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
947 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
948 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
949 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
951 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
953 Other significant improvements:
955 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
956 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
958 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
959 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
960 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
962 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
963 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
965 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
967 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
968 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
969 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
971 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
975 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
976 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
977 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
978 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
983 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
984 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
985 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
986 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
987 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
988 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
990 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
991 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
993 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
995 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
996 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
997 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
998 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1000 Documentation improvements:
1002 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).

1005 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1006 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.

1012 Behind-the-scenes work:
1014 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.

1017 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1018 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1019 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).

1080 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1081 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1082 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1083 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1084 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1085 dgit rather than system one.
1086 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1088 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1089 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1090 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1091 used by default for any distro.
1092 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1093 the push of the suite branch ref.
1094 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1095 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1101 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1102 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1103 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1104 with all the building methods.
1105 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1106 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1108 Error message improvements:
1109 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1110 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1111 in the error message, to be its child.
1112 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1114 Better workflow flexibility:
1115 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1116 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1118 Support for Debian backports suites:
1119 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1120 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1121 * Use correct default archive location.
1122 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1125 Packaging improvement:
1126 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1127 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1128 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1155 * sshpsql archive query method passes LANG=C. Closes:#729788.
1156 * Subcommand program or argument options containing hyphens work.
1157 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
1161 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,
1162 which contains dget, doesn't require them because dput itself works

1167 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
1170 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1172 Improved behaviours:
1173 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1174 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1175 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1176 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1177 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1178 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1179 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1180 Distribution field as the suite.
1181 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1184 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1185 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1188 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1189 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1190 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1191 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1193 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1194 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1195 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1197 Documentation and message fixes:
1198 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1199 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1200 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1201 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1202 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1203 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1206 Internal and debugging improvements:
1207 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1208 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1209 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1224 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
1225 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
1226 * Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.

1232 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
1233 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
1234 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1235 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
1236 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

1240 dgit (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
1242 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
1243 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
1244 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1245 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
1246 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

1252 * Include package name in tag message.
1253 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
1254 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1255 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1256 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1260 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
1262 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1263 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1264 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1265 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1266 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1267 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1268 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1269 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1271 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1272 --dry-run often not work at all.
1273 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1275 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1276 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1277 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1286 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
1287 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
1288 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

1292 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1294 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1295 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1297 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1299 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1300 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1301 exactly to the top git commit.
1302 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1303 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1304 and can also have more skew.)
1305 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1306 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1307 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1308 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1309 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1310 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1311 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1312 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1313 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1314 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1330 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1331 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1332 the remote suite branch.
1333 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1334 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1343 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
1345 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

1353 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
1354 * Manpage formatting fix.
1355 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
1356 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

1378 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1379 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1380 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1381 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.
