4 alioth aren't suitable right now because the master there can
5 currently only be updated with an actual upload, ie dgit push.)
7 * Manpage said that --clean=check was -wn but that is --clean=none;

9 * Document that up to -DDD (not just -DD) is meaningfully different.
10 * Document that -cname=value applies only for this run.

29 * Memoise git config lookups (big speedup!)
30 * Provide -wdd aka --clean=dpkg-source-d. Closes:#792433.
31 * Provide -wc aka --clean=check.
34 * Remove some obsolete caveats from BUGS.
35 * Reorganise and complete the configuration section.

42 * Provide for configurable git url suffix.
43 * Allow git-url to be '' to force fallback to git-proto etc.
44 * Provide for checking git presence via http[s].
45 * Do some quoting on debug output (needed if the server might not
46 be trustworthy and might send us bad stuff).
47 * Talk to push.dgit.debian.org, rather than the .debian.net alias.
50 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.
51 * Provide cgit-regen-config command for cgi-grnet-01.

63 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
67 * Client uses new infrastructure:
68 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
69 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
71 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
74 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
75 packages. Closes:#764606.
76 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
77 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
78 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
79 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
81 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
83 Other significant improvements:
85 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
86 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
88 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
89 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
90 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
92 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
93 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
95 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
97 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
98 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
99 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
101 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
105 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
106 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
107 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
108 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
113 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
114 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
115 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
116 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
117 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
118 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
120 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
121 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
123 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
125 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
126 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
127 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
128 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
130 Documentation improvements:
132 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
133 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
134 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
135 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
136 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
137 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
138 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
140 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
142 Behind-the-scenes work:
144 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
145 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
146 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
147 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
148 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
149 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
150 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
151 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
152 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
153 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
155 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
156 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

175 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
176 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
177 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
179 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
180 re-retreive the .dsc.
181 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
182 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
183 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
184 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
185 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
186 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
189 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
190 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
191 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
193 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
194 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
195 message instead. Closes:#736526.
196 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
197 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
198 host. Closes:#736529.
199 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
200 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
201 regression test scripts to use.
202 * Print better message for unknown operations.
203 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
204 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
205 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
207 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
208 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
209 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
210 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
211 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
212 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
213 * Fixed a manpage typo.
214 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
215 dgit rather than system one.
216 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
218 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
219 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
220 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
221 used by default for any distro.
222 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
223 the push of the suite branch ref.
224 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
225 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

231 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
232 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
233 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
234 with all the building methods.
235 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
236 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
238 Error message improvements:
239 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
240 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
241 in the error message, to be its child.
242 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
244 Better workflow flexibility:
245 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
246 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
248 Support for Debian backports suites:
249 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
250 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
251 * Use correct default archive location.
252 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
255 Packaging improvement:
256 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
257 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
258 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

300 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
303 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
304 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
305 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
306 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
307 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
308 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
309 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
310 Distribution field as the suite.
311 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
314 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
315 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
318 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
319 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
320 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
321 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
323 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
324 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
325 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.

328 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
329 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
330 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
331 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
332 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.

395 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)

397 * Remove scary warning from Description.
398 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
399 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
401 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
402 --dry-run often not work at all.

429 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
430 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
431 exactly to the top git commit.
432 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
433 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
434 and can also have more skew.)
435 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build

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