88 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
89 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
90 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
91 unstitched. This is more friendly.

516 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
517 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
518 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
519 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
520 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
522 Documentation improvements:
523 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
524 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
525 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
526 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
527 Closes:#864873,#878433.
528 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
529 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
532 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
533 specially. Closes:#886442.
534 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
535 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
536 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
537 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
538 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
539 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
542 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
543 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
546 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
547 won't try to run it).
548 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
549 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
550 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
551 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

567 dgit (4.1) experimental; urgency=medium
569 Important improvements to dgit:
570 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
571 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
572 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
573 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
574 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
575 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
577 Other improvements to dgit:
578 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
579 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
580 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
583 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
584 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
585 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
586 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
589 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
592 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
593 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
596 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
597 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
598 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
599 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
601 * Other tests for new features.
602 * Various refactoring.

755 * Properly honour NOCOMMITCHECK policy hook exit status.
757 * Do not reject commits with no author/committer name (but still insist
758 on email address and date). Peter Green reports that eg
759 71e128629ec786f3 in upstream xen.git is such a commit (and is accepted

891 * Honour dgit-distro.*.default-suite and dgit.default.default-suite.
894 * Improve debugging output a bit.
895 * Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/SUITE,
896 which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
897 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.
898 * When generating orig+debian/patches view, copy debian/ from
899 HEAD. This makes less noise in diffs. Closes:#850095.
901 Docuentation [Sean Whitton and Ian Jackson]:

912 * Strip block count out of find -ls output - it is unstable!
913 * gbp-orig: Add a missing -m, without which git would run an
914 editor if stdout was a tty (!)
915 * Add t-stunt-parsechangelog to a few tests which were missing it.
916 * Tests for the new protocol feature.
917 * Fail tests if we look up any configuration relating to Debian.

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

1083 * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,
1084 so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
1085 * New import-dsc feature.
1086 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1087 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1088 is left somewhere useful.
1089 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
1090 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any
1091 timestamp-dependent FTBFS bugs (eg #842452).
1092 * Support dgit --delayed= push (with a warning in the manpage
1093 about possible skew).
1094 * dgit gbp-build will arrange to let gbp buildpackage generate
1095 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1097 Documentation improvements:
1098 * dgit-*(7). Many new tutorial manpages, several written and many
1099 improved by Sean Whitton.
1100 * dgit(7): Substantial updates, including documenting split view.
1101 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1102 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1103 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1104 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1108 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1109 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1111 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1112 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
1114 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
1115 like testing. Closes:#842621.
1116 * Properly fetch all archive dgit view tags, as we intended.
1117 * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)
1120 * Test suite: Explicitly configure user.name and user.email, so
1121 that tests work when environment doesn't have defaults.

1142 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.

1169 * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.

1185 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1186 but not be refreshed even by a build.

1230 Incompatible change:
1231 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1232 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1233 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1234 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1235 to change for the dgit user.
1236 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1237 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1240 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1241 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1244 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1245 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1246 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1247 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1248 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1249 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1250 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1252 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1253 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1255 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1256 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1257 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1258 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1259 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1260 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1261 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1262 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1263 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1264 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1265 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1266 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1267 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1268 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1269 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1270 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1271 from dgit about what it was doing.
1272 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1274 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1275 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1277 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1278 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1279 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1283 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1284 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1286 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1287 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1288 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1292 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1293 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1294 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1295 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1296 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1299 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1300 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1301 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1302 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1303 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1304 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1305 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1306 messages. Closes:#800078.
1307 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1308 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1309 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1310 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1311 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1312 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1314 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1315 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1316 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1317 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1318 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1319 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1320 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1321 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1322 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1323 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1324 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1325 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1326 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1329 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1330 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1331 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1332 Cosmetic change only.
1333 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1334 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1335 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1336 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1337 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1338 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1339 to rollback and release the lock.
1340 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1341 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1342 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1343 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1345 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1346 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1347 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1348 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1349 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one

1580 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1581 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1583 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1584 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1585 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1587 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1588 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1590 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1592 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1593 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1594 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1596 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1600 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1601 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1602 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1603 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1608 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1609 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1610 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1611 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1612 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1613 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1615 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1616 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1618 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1620 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1621 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1622 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1623 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1625 Documentation improvements:
1627 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1628 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1629 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1630 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1631 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1632 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1633 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1635 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1637 Behind-the-scenes work:
1639 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1640 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1641 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1642 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1643 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1644 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1645 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1646 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1647 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1648 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1650 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1651 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1657 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
1658 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
1659 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

1670 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1671 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1672 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1674 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1675 re-retreive the .dsc.
1676 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1677 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1678 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1679 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1680 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1681 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1684 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1685 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1686 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1688 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1689 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1690 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1691 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1692 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1693 host. Closes:#736529.
1694 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1695 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1696 regression test scripts to use.
1697 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1698 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1699 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1700 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1702 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1703 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1704 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1705 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1706 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1707 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1708 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1709 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1710 dgit rather than system one.
1711 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1713 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1714 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1715 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1716 used by default for any distro.
1717 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1718 the push of the suite branch ref.
1719 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1720 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1726 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1727 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1728 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1729 with all the building methods.
1730 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1731 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1733 Error message improvements:
1734 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1735 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1736 in the error message, to be its child.
1737 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1739 Better workflow flexibility:
1740 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1741 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1743 Support for Debian backports suites:
1744 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1745 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1746 * Use correct default archive location.
1747 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1750 Packaging improvement:
1751 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1752 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1753 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1795 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1797 Improved behaviours:
1798 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1799 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1800 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1801 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1802 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1803 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1804 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1805 Distribution field as the suite.
1806 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1809 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1810 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1813 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1814 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1815 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1816 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1818 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1819 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1820 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1822 Documentation and message fixes:
1823 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1824 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1825 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1826 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1827 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1828 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1831 Internal and debugging improvements:
1832 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1833 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

1869 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.

1887 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1888 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1889 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1890 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1891 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1892 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1893 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1894 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1896 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1897 --dry-run often not work at all.
1898 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1900 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1901 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1902 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1919 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1920 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1922 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1924 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1925 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1926 exactly to the top git commit.
1927 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1928 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1929 and can also have more skew.)
1930 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1931 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1932 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1933 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1934 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1935 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1936 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1937 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1938 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1939 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
