30 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
31 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
32 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
33 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
34 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
35 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
36 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
37 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
38 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
39 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
40 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
42 dgit - Improved behaviours:
43 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
44 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
45 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
46 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
47 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
49 dgit - Important bugfixes:
50 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
51 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
52 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
53 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
54 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
55 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
56 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
57 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
59 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
60 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
61 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
62 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
63 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
64 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
65 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
67 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
68 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
69 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
70 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
71 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
74 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
75 is therefore not done.
76 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
77 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
78 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
79 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
80 * dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
81 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
83 Consequential changes:
84 * Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
85 * Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
86 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
89 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
90 * po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

658 New features [Sean Whitton]:
659 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
660 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
661 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
662 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
663 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
664 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
666 Documentation improvements:
667 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.

677 specially. Closes:#886442.
678 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
679 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
680 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
681 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
682 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
683 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
686 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
687 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
690 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
691 won't try to run it).

693 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
694 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).

716 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
717 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
718 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
719 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
721 Other improvements to dgit:
722 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
723 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
724 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
727 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
728 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
729 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
730 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
733 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
736 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
737 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
740 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
741 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
742 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
743 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce

1081 Dealing with fallout from #849041:

1086 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.

1374 Incompatible change:

1377 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1378 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1379 to change for the dgit user.

1391 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1392 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1393 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1394 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1396 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1397 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1399 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1400 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1401 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1402 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1403 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1404 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1405 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1406 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1407 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1408 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1409 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1410 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1411 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1412 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1413 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1414 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1415 from dgit about what it was doing.
1416 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1418 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1419 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1421 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1422 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

1443 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1444 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1445 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1446 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1447 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1448 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.

1470 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.

1578 * --new is needed for read access to packages in NEW, too. Document
1579 this, and make it work properly.
1580 * Work around #793471 (madness with $SIG{__WARN__} and Perl's system
1581 builtin): move $SIG{} setting into setup_sigwarn in Dgit.pm, and
1583 * When invoking git-buildpackage via dgit gbp-build, consider our
1584 command line arguments when massaging the dpkg-buildpackage arguments,
1585 so that we don't end up giving dpkg-buildpackage contradictory
1587 * Cope with new git-buildpackage which provides gbp, rather than the
1588 eponymous command, on PATH.
1591 * Honour dgit-distros.DISTRO.cmd-CMD and .opts-CMD. Closes:#793427.
1592 * Make configuration able to prevent dpkg-mergechangelogs setup.
1593 * Provide dgit setup-new-tree (like dpkg-setup-mergechangelogs
1594 but only does it if not disabled in config).
1595 * Set up git user.email and user.name from distro access config
1596 or DEBEMAIL/DEBFULLNAME. Closes:#793410.
1597 * When key to use not specified any other way, use the debian/changelog
1598 trailer line. Closes:#793423.
1599 * Honour --git= (mostly).
1602 * Fix some manpage typos. [ Richard Hartmann ]
1603 * Manpage said that --clean=check was -wn but that is --clean=none;
1604 correctly document that --clean=check is actually -wc.
1605 * Document that up to -DDDD (not just -DD) is meaningfully different.
1606 * Document that -cname=value applies only for this run.
1607 * Improve manpage comment about defining a new distro.
1608 * Document that --quilt=linear is the default for Debian.
1609 * Fix a formatting problem in --build-products-dir= doc.
1610 * In manpage, do not seem to imply that NMU should be of only one
1612 * Qualify to Debian the manpage comment about how to do NMU.
1613 * In discussion on how to start using dgit when already using git, do
1614 not imply/assume that existing git history will have identical trees
1616 * Remove stray sentence in config section of manpage.
1617 * Manpage: Clarify wording of readonly config.
1618 * Manpage: Better cross-references for -k and keyid.
1619 * dgit(7): No longer say that dgit-repos lives on Alioth.
1622 * Introduce more sophisticated protocol negotiation for rpush.
1623 * Do not quote `:' in shellquote.
1624 * Print a supplementary message when push fails, giving advice to
1625 the user about how to retry. Closes:#793144.
1626 * Slurp in entire git config, for better performance.
1627 * Rename `git-build' operation to `gbp-build' to make it clearer what
1628 it's for. Keep the old name as an alias.
1629 * Show `dgit sbuild' in usage message.
1630 * When we are using dpkg-buildpackage to clean before using it to also
1631 do the build, let it do its cleaning thing as part of its run, rather
1632 than running it twice. When we are _not_ supposed to be using
1633 dpkg-buildpackage to clean, but we are running it to do the build,
1634 pass -nc. Closes:#793060.
1635 * Also suppress spurious runs of the clean target when building using
1637 * When exec fails, always print the program name in the error message.
1640 * Infrastructure: Get mirroring right for fresh repos of existing
1643 Packaging, cleanups, debugging and test suite:
1644 * Fix Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browse to refer to chiark. (The dgit-repos on
1645 alioth aren't suitable right now because the master there can
1646 currently only be updated with an actual upload, ie dgit push.)
1647 * Make warnings fatal in dpkg-repos-admin-debian, dgit-ssh-dispatch
1648 (using setup_sigwarn).
1649 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Make warnings fatal (directly).
1650 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Do not complain if PERLLIB is empty.
1651 * Test suite: Honour DGIT_TEST_DEBUG=''.
1652 * With -DDDD, print out all gitcfg references (copious!)
1653 * Fix a debug message in the obsolete sshpsql archive access driver.
1654 * Test suite: More automatic enumeration of tests.
1655 * Test suite: Provide tests which check that all our various build
1656 operations run the right targets as expected (ie, that we are massaging
1657 the arguments to dpkg-buildpackage, and suppressing our clean target,

1689 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.

1691 * Make dgit-ssh-dispatch not spew (harmless) warnings if caller
1692 tries for a shell session (ie SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND not set).

1702 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
1704 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1706 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1707 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1708 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1710 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1713 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1714 packages. Closes:#764606.
1715 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1716 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1717 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1718 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1720 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1722 Other significant improvements:
1724 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1725 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1727 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1728 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1729 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1731 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1732 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1734 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1736 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1737 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1738 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1740 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1744 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1745 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1746 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1747 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1752 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1753 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1754 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1755 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1756 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1757 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1759 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1760 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1762 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1764 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1765 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1766 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1767 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1769 Documentation improvements:
1771 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1772 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1773 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1774 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1775 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1776 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1777 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1779 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1781 Behind-the-scenes work:
1783 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1784 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1785 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1786 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1787 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1788 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1789 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1790 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1791 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1792 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1794 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1795 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1814 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1815 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1816 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1818 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1819 re-retreive the .dsc.
1820 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1821 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1822 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1823 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1824 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1825 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1828 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1829 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1830 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1832 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1833 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1834 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1835 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1836 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1837 host. Closes:#736529.
1838 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1839 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1840 regression test scripts to use.
1841 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1842 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1843 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1844 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1846 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1847 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1848 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1849 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1850 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1851 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1852 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1853 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1854 dgit rather than system one.
1855 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1857 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1858 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1859 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1860 used by default for any distro.
1861 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1862 the push of the suite branch ref.
1863 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1864 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1870 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1871 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1872 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1873 with all the building methods.
1874 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1875 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1877 Error message improvements:
1878 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1879 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1880 in the error message, to be its child.
1881 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1883 Better workflow flexibility:
1884 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1885 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1887 Support for Debian backports suites:
1888 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1889 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1890 * Use correct default archive location.
1891 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1894 Packaging improvement:
1895 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1896 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1897 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1943 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1944 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1945 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1946 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1947 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1948 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1949 Distribution field as the suite.
1950 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1953 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1954 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1957 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1958 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1959 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1960 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.

1963 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1964 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.

2070 exactly to the top git commit.
2071 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2072 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2073 and can also have more skew.)
2074 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2075 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2076 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2077 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2078 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2079 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2080 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2081 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2082 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2083 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2093 dgit (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
2095 * New cleaning arrangements.
2096 * More comprehensive workaround for `3.0 (quilt)'.
2097 * In push, double-check the .changes against the changelog.
2098 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
2099 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
2100 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2101 the remote suite branch.
2102 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
2103 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

2107 dgit (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
2109 * Fix comparison of archive's .dsc's hash and git branch head
2111 * When creating repos in dgit-repos (using the ssh-cmd method),
2112 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
2114 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

2119 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
2121 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
2122 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
2123 * Manpage formatting fix.
2124 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
2125 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

2138 * Upload to unstable, as this version mostly works. (All the RC
2139 bugs of which I'm aware are now properly represented in the BTS.)

2145 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
2146 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
2147 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
2148 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
2149 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
2150 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

2156 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
2157 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
2158 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
2159 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
2160 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
2161 * Much better error messages.
2162 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
2163 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
2164 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
2165 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
