possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
to change for the dgit user.
+ * Make --quilt=gbp the default for dgit gbp-build. See below.
+ * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
+
+ Major new feature:
+ * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
+ split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
+ other workflow tools.
New checks and improved behaviours:
* When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
* dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
- expect, before calling mergechanges.
+ expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
* dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
* dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
* Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
as a safety check.
* No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
- Instead, insist on a single one.
+ Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
* dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
* When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
* New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
+ * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
+ look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
+ based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
+ * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
+ any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
+ * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
+ from dgit about what it was doing.
+ * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
+ Closes:#800060.
+ * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
+ applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
+ Closes:#833025.
+ * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
+ by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
+ * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
+ Closes:#809516.
Infrastructure:
* Better error handling in dgit-repos-policy-debian.
* dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
taints in db (!).
+ * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
+ This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
+ dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
+ compatibility).
Documentation:
* Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
+ * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
+ * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
+ of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
+ * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
Bugfixes:
* When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
* When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
* Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
+ * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
+ --quilt modes.
+ * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
+ * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
+ * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
+ * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
+ * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
+ * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
+ * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
+ etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
+ anyway. Closes:#827892.
+ * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
+ as is proper. Closes:#835858.
+ * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
+ them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
+ * Add debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
Test suite:
* When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
* Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
- * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because
+ * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
to rollback and release the lock.
* Test quilt single-debian-patch.
* Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
existing taints.
* Provide better log output for certain failures.
+ * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
