130 New features [Sean Whitton]:

133 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
134 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
137 dgit behavioural changes:
138 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
139 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
140 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
141 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
142 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
143 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
144 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
145 name supported as a deprecated alias).
147 Test suite improvements:
148 * test suite: unset VISUAL, which interferes. Closes:#904308.
149 * Honour DGIT_SCHROOT_CHROOT to set the schroot to use for the sbuild
151 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
152 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.
155 * apt-get method: when apt does not update release files,
156 unconditionally print hint about noatime. Closes:#851873.

420 New features [Sean Whitton]:
421 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
422 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
423 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
424 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
425 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
426 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.

440 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
441 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
442 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
443 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.

483 Other improvements to dgit:
484 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
485 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
486 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
489 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
490 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
491 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints

1134 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
1136 Incompatible change:
1137 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1138 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1139 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1140 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1141 to change for the dgit user.
1142 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1143 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1146 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1147 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1150 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1151 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1152 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1153 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1154 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1155 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1156 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1158 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1159 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1161 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1162 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1163 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1164 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1165 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1166 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1167 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1168 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1169 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1170 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1171 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1172 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1173 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1174 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1175 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1176 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1177 from dgit about what it was doing.
1178 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1180 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1181 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1183 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1184 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1185 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1189 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1190 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1192 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1193 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1194 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1198 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1199 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1200 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1201 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1202 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1205 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1206 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1207 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1208 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1209 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1210 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1211 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1212 messages. Closes:#800078.
1213 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1214 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1215 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1216 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1217 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1218 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1220 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1221 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1222 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1223 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1224 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1225 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1226 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1227 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1228 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1229 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1230 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1231 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1232 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1235 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1236 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1237 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1238 Cosmetic change only.
1239 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1240 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1241 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1242 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1243 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1244 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1245 to rollback and release the lock.
1246 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1247 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1248 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1249 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1251 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

1466 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1468 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1469 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1470 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1472 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1475 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1476 packages. Closes:#764606.
1477 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1478 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1479 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1480 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1482 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1484 Other significant improvements:
1486 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1487 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1489 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1490 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1491 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1493 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1494 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1496 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1498 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1499 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1500 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1502 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1506 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1507 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1508 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1509 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1514 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1515 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1516 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1517 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1518 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1519 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1521 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1522 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1524 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1526 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1527 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1528 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1529 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1531 Documentation improvements:
1533 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1534 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.

1543 Behind-the-scenes work:
1545 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.

1547 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1548 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1549 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1550 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).

1581 re-retreive the .dsc.
1582 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1583 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1584 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1585 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1586 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1587 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1590 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1591 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1592 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1594 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1595 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1596 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1597 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1598 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1599 host. Closes:#736529.
1600 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1601 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1602 regression test scripts to use.
1603 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1604 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1605 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1606 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1608 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1609 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1610 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1611 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1612 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1613 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1614 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1615 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1616 dgit rather than system one.
1617 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1619 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1620 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1621 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1622 used by default for any distro.
1623 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1624 the push of the suite branch ref.
1625 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1626 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1630 dgit (0.21) unstable; urgency=medium
1632 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1633 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1634 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1635 with all the building methods.
1636 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1637 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1639 Error message improvements:
1640 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1641 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1642 in the error message, to be its child.
1643 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1645 Better workflow flexibility:
1646 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1647 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1649 Support for Debian backports suites:
1650 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1651 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1652 * Use correct default archive location.
1653 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1656 Packaging improvement:
1657 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1658 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1659 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1688 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
1692 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,

1698 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
1701 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1703 Improved behaviours:
1704 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1705 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1706 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1707 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1708 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1709 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1710 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1711 Distribution field as the suite.
1712 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1715 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1716 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1719 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1720 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1721 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1722 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1724 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1725 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1726 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1728 Documentation and message fixes:
1729 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1730 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1731 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1732 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1733 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1734 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1737 Internal and debugging improvements:
1738 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1739 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1740 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1755 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
1756 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
1757 * Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.

1763 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
1764 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
1765 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1766 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
1767 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

1771 dgit (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
1773 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
1774 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
1775 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1776 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
1777 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

1783 * Include package name in tag message.
1784 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
1785 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1786 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1787 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1791 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
1793 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1794 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1795 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1796 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1797 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1798 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1799 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1800 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1802 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1803 --dry-run often not work at all.
1804 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1806 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1807 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1808 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1817 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
1818 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
1819 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

1823 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1825 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1826 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1828 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1830 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1831 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1832 exactly to the top git commit.
1833 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1834 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1835 and can also have more skew.)
1836 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1837 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1838 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1839 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1840 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1841 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1842 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1843 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1844 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1845 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1858 * More comprehensive workaround for `3.0 (quilt)'.
1859 * In push, double-check the .changes against the changelog.
1860 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
1861 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1862 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1863 the remote suite branch.
1864 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1865 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1874 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
1876 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

1881 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
1883 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
1884 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
1885 * Manpage formatting fix.
1886 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
1887 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

1909 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1910 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1911 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1912 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

1923 * Much better error messages.
1924 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
