372 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.

412 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.

559 * Honour dgit-distros.DISTRO.cmd-CMD and .opts-CMD. Closes:#793427.
560 * Make configuration able to prevent dpkg-mergechangelogs setup.
561 * Provide dgit setup-new-tree (like dpkg-setup-mergechangelogs
562 but only does it if not disabled in config).
563 * Set up git user.email and user.name from distro access config
564 or DEBEMAIL/DEBFULLNAME. Closes:#793410.

566 trailer line. Closes:#793423.

571 * Manpage said that --clean=check was -wn but that is --clean=none;
572 correctly document that --clean=check is actually -wc.
573 * Document that up to -DDDD (not just -DD) is meaningfully different.
574 * Document that -cname=value applies only for this run.
575 * Improve manpage comment about defining a new distro.
576 * Document that --quilt=linear is the default for Debian.
577 * Fix a formatting problem in --build-products-dir= doc.
578 * In manpage, do not seem to imply that NMU should be of only one
580 * Qualify to Debian the manpage comment about how to do NMU.
581 * In discussion on how to start using dgit when already using git, do
582 not imply/assume that existing git history will have identical trees
584 * Remove stray sentence in config section of manpage.
585 * Manpage: Clarify wording of readonly config.
586 * Manpage: Better cross-references for -k and keyid.
587 * dgit(7): No longer say that dgit-repos lives on Alioth.
590 * Introduce more sophisticated protocol negotiation for rpush.
591 * Do not quote `:' in shellquote.
592 * Print a supplementary message when push fails, giving advice to
593 the user about how to retry. Closes:#793144.
594 * Slurp in entire git config, for better performance.
595 * Rename `git-build' operation to `gbp-build' to make it clearer what
596 it's for. Keep the old name as an alias.
597 * Show `dgit sbuild' in usage message.
598 * When we are using dpkg-buildpackage to clean before using it to also
599 do the build, let it do its cleaning thing as part of its run, rather
600 than running it twice. When we are _not_ supposed to be using
601 dpkg-buildpackage to clean, but we are running it to do the build,
602 pass -nc. Closes:#793060.
603 * Also suppress spurious runs of the clean target when building using
605 * When exec fails, always print the program name in the error message.
608 * Infrastructure: Get mirroring right for fresh repos of existing
611 Packaging, cleanups, debugging and test suite:
612 * Fix Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browse to refer to chiark. (The dgit-repos on
613 alioth aren't suitable right now because the master there can
614 currently only be updated with an actual upload, ie dgit push.)
615 * Make warnings fatal in dpkg-repos-admin-debian, dgit-ssh-dispatch
616 (using setup_sigwarn).
617 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Make warnings fatal (directly).
618 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Do not complain if PERLLIB is empty.
619 * Test suite: Honour DGIT_TEST_DEBUG=''.
620 * With -DDDD, print out all gitcfg references (copious!)
621 * Fix a debug message in the obsolete sshpsql archive access driver.
622 * Test suite: More automatic enumeration of tests.
623 * Test suite: Provide tests which check that all our various build
624 operations run the right targets as expected (ie, that we are massaging
625 the arguments to dpkg-buildpackage, and suppressing our clean target,

670 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
672 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
674 * Client uses new infrastructure:
675 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
676 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
678 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
681 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
682 packages. Closes:#764606.
683 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
684 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
685 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
686 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
688 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
690 Other significant improvements:
692 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
693 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
695 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
696 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
697 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
699 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
700 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
702 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
704 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
705 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
706 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
708 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
712 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
713 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
714 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
715 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
720 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
721 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
722 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
723 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
724 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
725 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
727 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
728 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
730 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
732 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
733 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
734 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
735 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
737 Documentation improvements:
739 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
740 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
741 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
742 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
743 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
744 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
745 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
747 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
749 Behind-the-scenes work:
751 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
752 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
753 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
754 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
755 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
756 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
757 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
758 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
759 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
760 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
762 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
763 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

782 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
783 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
784 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
786 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
787 re-retreive the .dsc.
788 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
789 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
790 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
791 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
792 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
793 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
796 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
797 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
798 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
800 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
801 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
802 message instead. Closes:#736526.
803 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
804 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
805 host. Closes:#736529.
806 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
807 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
808 regression test scripts to use.
809 * Print better message for unknown operations.
810 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
811 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
812 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
814 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
815 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
816 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
817 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
818 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
819 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
820 * Fixed a manpage typo.
821 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
822 dgit rather than system one.
823 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
825 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
826 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
827 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
828 used by default for any distro.
829 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
830 the push of the suite branch ref.
831 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
832 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

838 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
839 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
840 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
841 with all the building methods.
842 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
843 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
845 Error message improvements:
846 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
847 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
848 in the error message, to be its child.
849 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
851 Better workflow flexibility:
852 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
853 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
855 Support for Debian backports suites:
856 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
857 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
858 * Use correct default archive location.
859 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
862 Packaging improvement:
863 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
864 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
865 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

910 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
911 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
912 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
913 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
914 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
915 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
916 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
917 Distribution field as the suite.
918 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
921 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
922 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
925 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
926 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
927 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
928 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.

931 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
932 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.

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

943 Internal and debugging improvements:

1039 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1040 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,

1066 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
1067 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1068 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1069 the remote suite branch.
1070 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1071 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1075 dgit (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
1077 * Fix comparison of archive's .dsc's hash and git branch head
1079 * When creating repos in dgit-repos (using the ssh-cmd method),
1080 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
1082 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

1087 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
1089 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
1090 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
1091 * Manpage formatting fix.
1092 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
1093 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

1104 dgit (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
1106 * Upload to unstable, as this version mostly works. (All the RC
1107 bugs of which I'm aware are now properly represented in the BTS.)

1111 dgit (0.4~pre2) experimental; urgency=low
1113 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
1114 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
1115 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1116 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1117 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1118 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

1122 dgit (0.4~pre1) experimental; urgency=low
1124 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
1125 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
1126 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
1127 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
1128 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
1129 * Much better error messages.
1130 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
1131 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
1132 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
1133 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
