1 dgit (0.23~) unstable; urgency=low
3 * Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
4 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
6 * New handling for .pc directory: dgit history now no longer contains
7 .pc at all. It is deleted whenever we find it. (When doing quilt
8 fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary directory so that we
9 can do dpkg-source --comit.) Closes:#764606. INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE -
10 older versions of dgit will have trouble with these git histories.
12 * Replace many calls to stat with new wrapper stat_exists; improves
13 error handling and simplifies the code.
15 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
17 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
20 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
21 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
24 * dgit-repos-server: Handle ' ' in SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND (which some
25 git versions send, sigh).
27 * New dgit-ssh-dispatch infrastructure script for use on dgit repos
28 server as part of ssh forced command.
30 * Test suite restructuring to support new tests.
32 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
34 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
35 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
36 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
38 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
39 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#720177.
41 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
43 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
44 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.

50 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
51 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
52 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

60 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
61 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
63 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
64 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
65 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
67 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
69 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
70 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
71 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
72 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
73 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
74 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
77 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
78 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
79 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
81 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
82 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
83 message instead. Closes:#736526.
84 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
85 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
87 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
88 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
89 regression test scripts to use.
90 * Print better message for unknown operations.
91 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
92 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
93 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
95 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
96 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
97 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
98 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
99 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
100 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
101 * Fixed a manpage typo.
102 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
103 dgit rather than system one.
104 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
106 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
107 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
108 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
109 used by default for any distro.
110 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
111 the push of the suite branch ref.
112 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
113 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

119 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
120 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
121 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
122 with all the building methods.
123 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
124 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
126 Error message improvements:
127 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
128 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
129 in the error message, to be its child.
130 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
132 Better workflow flexibility:
133 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
134 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
136 Support for Debian backports suites:
137 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
138 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
139 * Use correct default archive location.
140 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
143 Packaging improvement:
144 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
145 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
146 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

188 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
191 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
192 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
193 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
194 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
195 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
196 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
197 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
198 Distribution field as the suite.
199 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
202 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
203 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
206 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
207 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
208 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
209 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
211 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
212 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
213 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
215 Documentation and message fixes:
216 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
217 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
218 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
219 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
220 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
221 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
224 Internal and debugging improvements:
225 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
226 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
227 * Some code motion and cleanups.

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

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

315 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
317 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
318 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
319 exactly to the top git commit.
320 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
321 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
322 and can also have more skew.)
323 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
324 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
325 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.

327 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
328 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
329 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
330 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
331 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
332 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
