4 * dgit sbuild does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
5 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
6 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
7 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward

18 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
19 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
20 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
21 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
23 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
24 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
26 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
27 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
28 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
29 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
30 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
31 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
32 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
33 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
34 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
35 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
36 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
37 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
38 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
39 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
40 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
41 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
42 from dgit about what it was doing.
43 * Make --quilt=gbp the default for dgit gbp-build.
44 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
45 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
49 * Better error handling in dgit-repos-policy-debian.
50 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
54 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
55 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
58 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
59 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
60 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
61 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
62 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
63 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
64 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
65 messages. Closes:#800078.
66 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
67 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
68 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
69 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
70 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
71 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
73 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
74 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
75 * Fix up .orig detection to be less trustful of (ambiguous) filenames.
76 * Fix up .orig detection to correctly allow exactly the right
77 .orig-comp components accorging to dpkg-source(1).
78 * Fix up .orig detection to handle .asc's (and other signatures)
79 of .orig components the same way as their tarballs.
80 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
81 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
82 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
83 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
87 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
88 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
89 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
91 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
92 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
93 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
94 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
95 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because
96 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
97 to rollback and release the lock.
98 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
99 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
100 different test case git working tree tarballs.
101 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
103 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

110 * Unbreak --dry-run (`exiting subroutine via next', broken in
111 ac221d67, bug released in 0.22).

113 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).
114 * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, use -f and sometimes -A,
115 so as to avoid being broken by any .gitignore, etc.
116 * When quilt linearisation fails, print the right information in
117 the error message. (This has been broken forever.)
118 * Cope properly with `3.0 (quilt)' with single-debian-patch.

121 * With dgit sbuild, pass our -d before the user's arguments, so that
122 the user can override it. Closes:#796019.
124 New checks and improved behaviours:
125 * Detect and reject git trees containing debian/source/local-options
126 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
127 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
128 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
129 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
130 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
133 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
134 removed by rules clean.
137 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,
138 so that we don't need build-depends.

212 correctly document that --clean=check is actually -wc.
213 * Document that up to -DDDD (not just -DD) is meaningfully different.
214 * Document that -cname=value applies only for this run.

311 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
313 * Client uses new infrastructure:
314 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
315 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
317 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
320 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
321 packages. Closes:#764606.
322 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
323 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
324 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
325 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
327 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
329 Other significant improvements:
331 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
332 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
334 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
335 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
336 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
338 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
339 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
341 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
343 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
344 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
345 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
347 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
351 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
352 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
353 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
354 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
359 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
360 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
361 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
362 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
363 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
364 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
366 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
367 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
369 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
371 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
372 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
373 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
374 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
376 Documentation improvements:
378 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
379 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
380 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
381 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
382 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
383 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
384 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.

388 Behind-the-scenes work:
390 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
391 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
392 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
393 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
394 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
395 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
396 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
397 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
398 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.

444 host. Closes:#736529.

451 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.

454 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
455 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
456 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
457 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
458 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
459 * Fixed a manpage typo.
460 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
461 dgit rather than system one.
462 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
464 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
465 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
466 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
467 used by default for any distro.
468 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
469 the push of the suite branch ref.
470 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
471 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

477 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
478 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
479 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
480 with all the building methods.
481 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
482 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
484 Error message improvements:
485 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
486 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
487 in the error message, to be its child.
488 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
490 Better workflow flexibility:
491 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
492 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
494 Support for Debian backports suites:
495 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
496 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
497 * Use correct default archive location.
498 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
501 Packaging improvement:
502 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
503 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless

538 which contains dget, doesn't require them because dput itself works

543 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
546 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
549 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
550 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
551 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
552 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
553 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
554 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
555 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
556 Distribution field as the suite.
557 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
560 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
561 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
564 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
565 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
566 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
567 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
569 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
570 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
571 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
573 Documentation and message fixes:
574 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
575 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
576 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
577 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
578 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
579 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
582 Internal and debugging improvements:
583 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
584 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
585 * Some code motion and cleanups.

598 dgit (0.17) unstable; urgency=high
600 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
601 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
602 * Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.

606 dgit (0.16) unstable; urgency=high
608 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
609 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
610 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
611 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
612 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

616 dgit (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
618 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
619 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
620 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
621 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
622 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

626 dgit (0.14) unstable; urgency=low
628 * Include package name in tag message.
629 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
630 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
631 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
632 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

636 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
638 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
639 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
640 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
641 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
642 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
643 * Remove scary warning from Description.
644 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
645 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
647 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
648 --dry-run often not work at all.
649 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
651 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
652 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
653 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

658 dgit (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
660 * Cope with packages with epoch. Closes: #720897.
661 * Improve error message for non-fast-forward push. Closes: #720896.
662 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
663 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
664 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

668 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
670 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
671 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
673 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
675 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
676 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
677 exactly to the top git commit.
678 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
679 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
680 and can also have more skew.)
681 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
682 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
683 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
684 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
685 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
686 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
687 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
688 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
689 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
690 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

696 * Create .pc/applied-patches - do not empty it (!)

700 dgit (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
702 * New cleaning arrangements.
703 * More comprehensive workaround for `3.0 (quilt)'.
704 * In push, double-check the .changes against the changelog.
705 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
706 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
707 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
708 the remote suite branch.
709 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
710 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

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

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

743 dgit (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
745 * Upload to unstable, as this version mostly works. (All the RC
746 bugs of which I'm aware are now properly represented in the BTS.)

750 dgit (0.4~pre2) experimental; urgency=low
752 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
753 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
754 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
755 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
756 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
757 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

761 dgit (0.4~pre1) experimental; urgency=low
763 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
764 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
765 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
766 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
767 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
768 * Much better error messages.
769 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
770 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
771 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
772 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
