128 New features [Sean Whitton]:

131 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
132 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
135 dgit behavioural changes:
136 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
137 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
138 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
139 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
140 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
141 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
142 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
143 name supported as a deprecated alias).
145 Test suite improvements:
146 * test suite: unset VISUAL, which interferes. Closes:#904308.
147 * Honour DGIT_SCHROOT_CHROOT to set the schroot to use for the sbuild
149 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
150 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.
153 * apt-get method: when apt does not update release files,
154 unconditionally print hint about noatime. Closes:#851873.
155 * messages: Be a lot more friendly about NEW in particular,
156 and also add a couple of `please's. Closes:#904448.

418 New features [Sean Whitton]:
419 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
420 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
421 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
422 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
423 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
424 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
426 Documentation improvements:
427 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.

438 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
439 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
440 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
441 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
442 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
443 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]

478 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
479 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
481 Other improvements to dgit:
482 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
483 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
484 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
487 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
488 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
489 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints

496 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.

500 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
501 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
502 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.

520 * Pass --no-renames to git diff-tree -z, avoiding potential trouble.
521 * Defend against commit subject lines which would generate patches which
522 look like series files, etc. Involves adding .patch to all generated

531 * dgit-repos-server: Do not reject commits with no author/committer
532 email address (but still insist on date, and hence on the actual
533 committer and author commit header fields). Peter Green reports that
534 eg 66c65d90db100435 in upstream linux.git is such a commit (and is
535 accepted by github). Closes:#863353.
538 * t-report-fail: print $PWD as part of failure message.

1134 Incompatible change:
1135 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1136 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1137 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1138 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1139 to change for the dgit user.
1140 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1141 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1144 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1145 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1148 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1149 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1150 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1151 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1152 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1153 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1154 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1156 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1157 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1159 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1160 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1161 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1162 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1163 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1164 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1165 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1166 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1167 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1168 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1169 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1170 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1171 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1172 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1173 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1174 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1175 from dgit about what it was doing.
1176 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1178 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1179 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1181 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1182 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1183 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1187 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1188 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1190 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1191 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1192 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1196 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1197 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1198 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1199 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1200 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1203 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1204 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1205 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1206 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1207 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1208 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1209 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1210 messages. Closes:#800078.
1211 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1212 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1213 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1214 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1215 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1216 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1218 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1219 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1220 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1221 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1222 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1223 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1224 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1225 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1226 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1227 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1228 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1229 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1230 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1233 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1234 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1235 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1236 Cosmetic change only.
1237 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1238 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1239 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1240 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1241 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1242 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1243 to rollback and release the lock.
1244 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1245 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1246 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1247 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1249 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

1464 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1466 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1467 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1468 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1470 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1473 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1474 packages. Closes:#764606.
1475 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1476 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1477 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1478 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1480 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1482 Other significant improvements:
1484 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1485 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1487 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1488 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1489 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1491 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1492 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1494 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1496 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1497 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1498 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1500 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1504 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1505 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1506 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1507 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1512 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1513 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1514 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1515 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1516 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1517 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1519 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1520 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1522 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1524 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1525 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1526 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1527 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1529 Documentation improvements:
1531 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1532 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.

1536 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.

1541 Behind-the-scenes work:
1543 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.

1545 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1546 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1547 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1548 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).

1583 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1584 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1585 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1588 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1589 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1590 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1592 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1593 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1594 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1595 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1596 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1597 host. Closes:#736529.
1598 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1599 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1600 regression test scripts to use.
1601 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1602 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1603 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1604 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1606 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1607 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1608 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1609 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1610 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1611 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1612 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1613 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1614 dgit rather than system one.
1615 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1617 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1618 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1619 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1620 used by default for any distro.
1621 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1622 the push of the suite branch ref.
1623 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1624 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1630 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1631 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1632 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1633 with all the building methods.
1634 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1635 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1637 Error message improvements:
1638 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1639 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1640 in the error message, to be its child.
1641 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1643 Better workflow flexibility:
1644 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1645 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1647 Support for Debian backports suites:
1648 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1649 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1650 * Use correct default archive location.
1651 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1654 Packaging improvement:
1655 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1656 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1657 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1686 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
1690 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,

1699 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1701 Improved behaviours:
1702 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1703 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1704 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1705 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1706 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1707 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1708 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1709 Distribution field as the suite.
1710 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1713 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1714 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1717 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1718 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1719 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1720 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1722 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1723 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1724 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1726 Documentation and message fixes:
1727 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1728 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1729 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1730 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1731 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1732 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1735 Internal and debugging improvements:
1736 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1737 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1738 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1753 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
1754 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.

1762 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
1763 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1764 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
1765 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

1771 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
1772 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
1773 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1774 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
1775 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

1782 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
1783 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1784 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1785 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1791 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1792 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1793 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1794 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1795 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1796 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1797 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1798 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1800 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1801 --dry-run often not work at all.
1802 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1804 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1805 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1806 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1815 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
1816 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
1817 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

1821 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1823 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1824 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1826 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1828 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1829 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1830 exactly to the top git commit.
1831 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1832 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1833 and can also have more skew.)
1834 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1835 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1836 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1837 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1838 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1839 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1840 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1841 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1842 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1843 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1859 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1860 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1861 the remote suite branch.
1862 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1863 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1883 * Manpage formatting fix.
1884 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>

1907 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1908 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1909 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1910 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.
