103 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.

241 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to

246 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
247 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now

524 dgit (4.2) unstable; urgency=low
526 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
528 New features [Sean Whitton]:
529 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
530 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
531 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
532 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
533 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
534 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
536 Documentation improvements:
537 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
538 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
539 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
540 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
541 Closes:#864873,#878433.
542 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
543 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
546 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
547 specially. Closes:#886442.
548 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
549 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
550 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
551 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
552 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
553 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
556 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
557 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
560 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
561 won't try to run it).
562 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
563 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
564 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
565 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

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

1081 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
1082 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.
1083 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
1084 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
1085 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).

1089 necessarily pulled in by anything else. (dpkg-dev Recommends
1090 build-essential. But we don't actually need build-essential.)

1097 * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,
1098 so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
1099 * New import-dsc feature.
1100 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1101 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1102 is left somewhere useful.
1103 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
1104 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any

1109 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1111 Documentation improvements:

1115 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1116 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1117 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1118 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1122 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1123 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1125 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1126 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
1128 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
1129 like testing. Closes:#842621.

1199 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1200 but not be refreshed even by a build.

1242 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
1244 Incompatible change:
1245 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1246 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1247 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1248 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1249 to change for the dgit user.
1250 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1251 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1254 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1255 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1258 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1259 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1260 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1261 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1262 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1263 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1264 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1266 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1267 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1269 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1270 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1271 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1272 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1273 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1274 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1275 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1276 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1277 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1278 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1279 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1280 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1281 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1282 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1283 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1284 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1285 from dgit about what it was doing.
1286 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1288 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1289 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1291 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1292 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1293 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1297 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1298 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1300 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1301 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1302 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1306 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1307 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1308 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1309 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1310 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1313 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1314 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1315 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1316 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1317 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1318 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1319 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1320 messages. Closes:#800078.
1321 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1322 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1323 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1324 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1325 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1326 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1328 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1329 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1330 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1331 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1332 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1333 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1334 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1335 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1336 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1337 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1338 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1339 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1340 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1343 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1344 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1345 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1346 Cosmetic change only.
1347 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1348 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1349 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1350 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1351 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1352 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1353 to rollback and release the lock.
1354 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1355 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1356 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1357 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1359 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1360 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1361 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.

1580 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1583 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1584 packages. Closes:#764606.
1585 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1586 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1587 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1588 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1590 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1592 Other significant improvements:
1594 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1595 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1597 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1598 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1599 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1601 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1602 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1604 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1606 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1607 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1608 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1610 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1614 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1615 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1616 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1617 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1622 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1623 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1624 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1625 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1626 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1627 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1629 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1630 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1632 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1634 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1635 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1636 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1637 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1639 Documentation improvements:
1641 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1642 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1643 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1644 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1645 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1646 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1647 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1649 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1651 Behind-the-scenes work:
1653 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1654 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1655 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1656 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1657 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1658 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1659 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1660 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1661 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1662 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1664 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1665 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1684 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1685 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1686 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1688 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1689 re-retreive the .dsc.
1690 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1691 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1692 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1693 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1694 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1695 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1698 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1699 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1700 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1702 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1703 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1704 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1705 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1706 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1707 host. Closes:#736529.
1708 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1709 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1710 regression test scripts to use.
1711 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1712 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1713 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1714 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1716 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1717 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1718 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1719 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1720 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1721 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1722 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1723 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1724 dgit rather than system one.
1725 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1727 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1728 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1729 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1730 used by default for any distro.
1731 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1732 the push of the suite branch ref.
1733 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1734 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1740 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1741 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1742 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1743 with all the building methods.
1744 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1745 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1747 Error message improvements:
1748 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1749 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1750 in the error message, to be its child.
1751 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1753 Better workflow flexibility:
1754 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1755 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1757 Support for Debian backports suites:
1758 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1759 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1760 * Use correct default archive location.
1761 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1764 Packaging improvement:
1765 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1766 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1767 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1809 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1811 Improved behaviours:
1812 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1813 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1814 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1815 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1816 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1817 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1818 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1819 Distribution field as the suite.
1820 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1823 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1824 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1827 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1828 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1829 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1830 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1832 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1833 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1834 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1836 Documentation and message fixes:
1837 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1838 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1839 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1840 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1841 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.

1901 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.

1903 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1904 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1905 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1906 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1907 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1908 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1910 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1911 --dry-run often not work at all.
1912 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1914 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.

1916 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1936 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1938 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1939 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1940 exactly to the top git commit.
1941 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1942 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1943 and can also have more skew.)
1944 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1945 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1946 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1947 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1948 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1949 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1950 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1951 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1952 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1953 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
