136 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
137 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
138 is left somewhere useful.
139 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
140 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any

158 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
159 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
161 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
162 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
164 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,

299 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).

305 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
306 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
307 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
308 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
309 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
310 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
311 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
312 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
313 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
314 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
315 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
316 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
317 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
318 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
319 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
320 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
321 from dgit about what it was doing.

324 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
325 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
327 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
328 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

350 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
351 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
352 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
353 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
354 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.

356 messages. Closes:#800078.

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

380 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.

543 * When exec fails, always print the program name in the error message.
546 * Infrastructure: Get mirroring right for fresh repos of existing
549 Packaging, cleanups, debugging and test suite:
550 * Fix Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browse to refer to chiark. (The dgit-repos on
551 alioth aren't suitable right now because the master there can
552 currently only be updated with an actual upload, ie dgit push.)
553 * Make warnings fatal in dpkg-repos-admin-debian, dgit-ssh-dispatch
554 (using setup_sigwarn).
555 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Make warnings fatal (directly).
556 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Do not complain if PERLLIB is empty.
557 * Test suite: Honour DGIT_TEST_DEBUG=''.
558 * With -DDDD, print out all gitcfg references (copious!)
559 * Fix a debug message in the obsolete sshpsql archive access driver.
560 * Test suite: More automatic enumeration of tests.
561 * Test suite: Provide tests which check that all our various build
562 operations run the right targets as expected (ie, that we are massaging
563 the arguments to dpkg-buildpackage, and suppressing our clean target,

608 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
610 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
612 * Client uses new infrastructure:
613 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
614 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
616 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
619 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
620 packages. Closes:#764606.
621 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
622 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
623 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
624 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
626 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
628 Other significant improvements:
630 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
631 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
633 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
634 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
635 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
637 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
638 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
640 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
642 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
643 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
644 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
646 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
650 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
651 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
652 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
653 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
658 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
659 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
660 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
661 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
662 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
663 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
665 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
666 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
668 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
670 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
671 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
672 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
673 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
675 Documentation improvements:
677 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
678 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
679 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
680 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
681 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
682 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
683 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
685 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
687 Behind-the-scenes work:
689 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
690 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
691 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
692 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
693 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
694 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
695 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
696 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
697 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
698 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
700 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
701 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

720 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
721 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
722 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
724 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
725 re-retreive the .dsc.
726 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
727 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
728 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
729 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
730 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
731 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
734 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
735 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
736 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
738 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
739 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
740 message instead. Closes:#736526.
741 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
742 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
743 host. Closes:#736529.
744 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
745 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
746 regression test scripts to use.
747 * Print better message for unknown operations.
748 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
749 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
750 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
752 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
753 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
754 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
755 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
756 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
757 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
758 * Fixed a manpage typo.
759 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
760 dgit rather than system one.
761 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
763 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
764 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
765 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
766 used by default for any distro.
767 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
768 the push of the suite branch ref.
769 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
770 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

776 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
777 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
778 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
779 with all the building methods.
780 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
781 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
783 Error message improvements:
784 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
785 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
786 in the error message, to be its child.
787 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
789 Better workflow flexibility:
790 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
791 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
793 Support for Debian backports suites:
794 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
795 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
796 * Use correct default archive location.
797 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
800 Packaging improvement:
801 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
802 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
803 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

848 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
849 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
850 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
851 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
852 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
853 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
854 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
855 Distribution field as the suite.
856 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
859 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
860 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
863 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
864 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
865 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
866 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
868 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
869 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
870 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
872 Documentation and message fixes:
873 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
874 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
875 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
876 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
877 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
878 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
881 Internal and debugging improvements:

940 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)

974 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
975 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
976 exactly to the top git commit.
977 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
978 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
979 and can also have more skew.)

986 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
