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;
8 correctly document that --clean=check is actually -wc.
9 * Document that up to -DDD (not just -DD) is meaningfully different.
10 * Document that -cname=value applies only for this run.
11 * Improve manpage comment about defining a new distro.
12 * Document that --quilt=linear is the default for Debian.
13 * Fix a formatting problem in --build-products-dir= doc.
14 * In manpage, do not seem to imply that NMU should be of only one
16 * Qualify to Debian the manpage comment about how to do NMU.
17 * In discussion on how to start using dgit when already using git, do
18 not imply/assume that existing git history will have identical trees
20 * Remove stray sentence in config section of manpage.
21 * Manpage: Clarify wording of readonly config.

31 now works. Closes:#791447.
32 * Memoise git config lookups (big speedup!)
33 * Provide -wdd aka --clean=dpkg-source-d. Closes:#792433.
34 * Provide -wc aka --clean=check.
37 * Remove some obsolete caveats from BUGS.
38 * Reorganise and complete the configuration section.
39 * Remove obselete comment about DMs not being able to push.
40 We have, for now, a way to add keys manually. Closes:#720173.

44 * Provide for different access mechanisms when pushing.
45 * Provide for configurable git url suffix.
46 * Allow git-url to be '' to force fallback to git-proto etc.
47 * Provide for checking git presence via http[s].
48 * Do some quoting on debug output (needed if the server might not
49 be trustworthy and might send us bad stuff).
50 * Talk to push.dgit.debian.org, rather than the .debian.net alias.
53 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.
54 * Provide cgit-regen-config command for cgi-grnet-01.
55 * Make dgit-ssh-dispatch not spew (harmless) warnings if caller
56 tries for a shell session (ie SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND not set).

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

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

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

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

332 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
333 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
334 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
335 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.

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

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

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