207 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
208 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
209 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
210 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
211 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
212 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
213 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
214 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
215 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
216 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
217 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
219 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
220 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
221 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
222 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
223 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
224 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
225 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
226 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
227 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).
229 i18n - new translations [Frans Spiesschaert]:
230 * nl, dgit-user(7). Closes:#918253.
231 * nl, messages. Closes:#917148.
234 * dgit(1): Fix documentation of .quilt-mode config.
235 * dgit(1): Fix a formatting typo (spurious .TP). Closes:#917194.
236 * dgit-user(7): Fix formatting error in comment about multi-arch.
237 * dgit-maint-debrebase(7): handle DFSG-filtering for a new package.
238 [Sean Whitton] Closes:#915973.
240 Error message improvements:
241 * dgit: When reporting no such package, say `source package'.
242 * dgit: Fix reference to -wdn/-wddn in a message.
243 * dgit: cleaning: Minorly improved handling of note about ignores.
244 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Remove duplicated text from force
245 report message. Closes:#913676.

281 dgit (8.0) unstable; urgency=medium
283 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
284 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
285 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
286 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
287 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
288 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
289 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
290 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
291 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
292 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
293 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
295 dgit - Improved behaviours:
296 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
297 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
298 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
299 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
300 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
302 dgit - Important bugfixes:
303 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
304 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
305 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
306 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
307 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
308 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
309 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
310 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
312 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
313 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
314 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
315 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
316 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
317 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
318 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
320 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
321 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
322 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
323 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
324 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
327 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
328 is therefore not done.
329 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
330 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
331 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
332 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
333 * dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
334 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
336 Consequential changes:
337 * Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
338 * Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
339 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
342 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
343 * po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

482 laundered. Closes:#905975.
484 git-debrebase, improvements:
485 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
486 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
487 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
488 unstitched. This is more friendly.
489 * convert-from-*: Snag on patches in d/patches which are not in series,
490 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.
491 * Highly experimental merge resolution support, enabled only with
492 special command line option.
493 * Lots of internal changes to support merge, and other work.
494 * convert-from-*: Check whether ffq-prev or debrebase-last indicate that
495 we are already in gdr format.
496 * convert-from-*: leave debrebase-last refs to hint to everyone that
497 this is now a gdr branch.
499 git-debrebase, improved messages:
500 * Improve ffq head recording message.
501 * Better (less copious by default) debug output.
502 * convert-from-gbp: Improve messages. Closes:#906641.
503 * Provide hints for unprocessable commits, depending on the apparent
504 branch ffq state, including possible suggestion to use convert-from-*.
505 Closes:#905005. Closes:#905279.
507 dgit, improved messages:
508 * Mention bad origs as possible cause of quilt fixup failure,
509 in both dgit(7) and in error messages. No longer suggest
510 --quilt=smash or dpkg-source --commit in the error message.
512 * Do not suggest --quilt modes if quilt fixup "stopped at"
513 a commit made by git-debrebase. Closes:#906197.
514 * Mention gitattributes as a potential problem in quilt linearisation
515 failure, when appropriate. Closes:#906199.
518 * dgit(1): Encourage --overwrite rather than --overwrite=version.
519 * Document that we do not suppress attributes which affect git-archive.
520 This is related to #906199.
523 * test suite: Set DEBFULLNAME
524 * test suite: unset GIT_EDITOR, so it works if user has that set.
527 * changelog: Add close note for #905400 to changelog entry for 6.5.

624 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
625 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
628 dgit behavioural changes:
629 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
630 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
631 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
632 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
633 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
634 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
635 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
636 name supported as a deprecated alias).
638 Test suite improvements:
639 * test suite: unset VISUAL, which interferes. Closes:#904308.
640 * Honour DGIT_SCHROOT_CHROOT to set the schroot to use for the sbuild
642 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
643 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.
646 * apt-get method: when apt does not update release files,
647 unconditionally print hint about noatime. Closes:#851873.
648 * messages: Be a lot more friendly about NEW in particular,

726 - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
727 current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
728 - There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests

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

934 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.

970 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
971 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
972 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
974 Other improvements to dgit:
975 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
976 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
977 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
980 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
981 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
982 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
983 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
986 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
989 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
990 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
993 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
994 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
995 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.

1024 * dgit-repos-server: Do not reject commits with no author/committer
1025 email address (but still insist on date, and hence on the actual
1026 committer and author commit header fields). Peter Green reports that
1027 eg 66c65d90db100435 in upstream linux.git is such a commit (and is

1253 * dgit: When fetching, refetch files with hash mismatches (and save them
1254 as `...,fetch'), so we can distinguish them from any built locally.

1270 map) can be fetched.
1271 * Use this information, where provided. Closes:#850431.
1274 * dgit config handling: Honour command-line and context-provided
1275 suite and distro more reliably and consistently.
1276 * Parsing of extended Dgit fields by import-dsc was broken;
1277 and is now fixed even for more-extended ones.
1278 * dgit clone-dgit-repos-server uses readonly access.
1280 * fetch and pull ignore the changelog suite when it is UNRELEASED.
1282 * dgit-badcommit-fixup: Do not investigate symrefs. Closes:#850547.
1285 * distro alias facility in config space. (Primarily for testing.)
1286 * Undocumented --config-lookup-explode= feature. (For testing.)
1287 * Provide `dgit print-dgit-repos-server-source-url'. Re:#850521.
1288 * Honour dgit-distro.*.default-suite and dgit.default.default-suite.
1291 * Improve debugging output a bit.
1292 * Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/SUITE,
1293 which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
1294 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.
1295 * When generating orig+debian/patches view, copy debian/ from
1296 HEAD. This makes less noise in diffs. Closes:#850095.
1298 Docuentation [Sean Whitton and Ian Jackson]:
1299 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Use --no-dep14tag. Closes:#849105.

1301 * dgit(7): Updated `trouble' section to suggest having dpkg-source
1302 delete the autotools output (with a patch if necessary).
1303 * dgit(1): Several minor updates and fixes. Closes:#850519.
1306 * Internal improvements.
1307 * badcommit-rewrite: Fix operation using installed version of fixup.
1308 * Arrange to pass --debug-quick-random to gpg-agent.
1309 * Strip block count out of find -ls output - it is unstable!
1310 * gbp-orig: Add a missing -m, without which git would run an
1311 editor if stdout was a tty (!)
1312 * Add t-stunt-parsechangelog to a few tests which were missing it.
1313 * Tests for the new protocol feature.

1334 Dealing with fallout from #849041:

1337 clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
1338 effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
1339 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
1342 * New test case for history-rewriting.
1343 * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
1344 the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

1408 * Slightly better message when .dsc not found. Apropos of #844128.
1409 * Give better advice if .dsc/.changes signing fails: if no changes
1410 are needed to the package, user may indeed just debsign and dput.
1412 * Produce better error reporting when absurd git wrapper fails
1413 on a patch during .dsc import. Apropos of #848391.
1416 * If we cannot hardlink origs into our extraction area, use symlinks
1417 instead. Closes:#844570.

1420 * Do not fail when cloning a package containing dangling symlinks.
1422 * Do not fail to import a .dsc containing patches which patch files
1423 multiple times, due to #848611. Closes:#848391.

1460 * Cope when an orig tarball is a tarbomb. Ie, if it contains
1461 other than one single directory toplevel. Closes:#843422.
1462 * Actually honour the branch name, if we are on dgit branch, to specify
1463 the suite, as documented in the manpage.
1464 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
1465 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.
1466 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
1467 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
1468 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).

1486 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.

1492 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1494 Documentation improvements:

1506 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1508 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1509 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.

1560 actually identical. (Eg --quilt=gbp with no patches.) Closes:#841770.
1561 * Switch to new archive/ tag format by default, even in
1562 non-split-brain mode.
1563 * Provide --gbp and --dpm as aliases for --quilt=gbp and --quilt=dpm.
1566 * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.
1569 * Introduce setup/gnupg, to help work around gnupg2 bug #841143
1570 and improve performance by amortising gnupg migration cost.

1581 even if the eventual tree (and therefore commit) is the same.
1582 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1583 but not be refreshed even by a build.
1584 * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
1585 Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
1586 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.

1627 Incompatible change:
1628 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1629 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1630 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1631 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1632 to change for the dgit user.
1633 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1634 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1637 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1638 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1641 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1642 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1643 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1644 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1645 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1646 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1647 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1649 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1650 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1652 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1653 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1654 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1655 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1656 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1657 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1658 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1659 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1660 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1661 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1662 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1663 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1664 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1665 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1666 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1667 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1668 from dgit about what it was doing.
1669 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1671 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1672 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1674 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1675 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1676 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1680 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1681 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1683 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1684 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1685 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1689 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1690 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1691 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1692 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1693 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1696 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1697 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1698 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1699 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1700 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1701 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1702 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1703 messages. Closes:#800078.
1704 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1705 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1706 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1707 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1708 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1709 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1711 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1712 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1713 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1714 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1715 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1716 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1717 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1718 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1719 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1720 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1721 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1722 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1723 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1726 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1727 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1728 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1729 Cosmetic change only.
1730 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1731 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1732 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1733 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1734 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1735 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1736 to rollback and release the lock.
1737 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1738 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1739 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1740 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1742 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1743 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1744 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1745 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1746 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
1748 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

1758 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1773 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
1774 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1775 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.

1779 removed by rules clean.

1957 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1959 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1960 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1961 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1963 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1966 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1967 packages. Closes:#764606.
1968 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1969 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1970 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1971 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1973 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1975 Other significant improvements:
1977 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1978 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1980 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1981 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1982 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1984 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1985 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1987 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1989 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1990 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1991 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1993 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1997 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1998 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1999 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2000 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2005 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2006 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2007 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2008 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2009 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2010 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2012 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2013 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2015 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2017 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2018 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
2019 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
2020 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
2022 Documentation improvements:
2024 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).

2029 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
2030 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
2032 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
2034 Behind-the-scenes work:
2036 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
2037 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
2038 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2039 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2040 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2041 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
2042 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
2043 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
2044 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
2045 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
2047 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
2048 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

2054 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
2055 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
2056 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

2064 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
2065 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
2067 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
2068 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
2069 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
2071 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
2072 re-retreive the .dsc.
2073 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
2074 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
2075 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
2076 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
2077 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
2078 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
2081 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
2082 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
2083 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2085 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2086 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2087 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2088 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2089 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2090 host. Closes:#736529.
2091 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2092 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2093 regression test scripts to use.
2094 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2095 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2096 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2097 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2099 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2100 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2101 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2102 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2103 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2104 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2105 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2106 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2107 dgit rather than system one.
2108 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2110 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2111 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2112 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2113 used by default for any distro.
2114 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2115 the push of the suite branch ref.
2116 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2117 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2121 dgit (0.21) unstable; urgency=medium
2123 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2124 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2125 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2126 with all the building methods.
2127 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2128 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2130 Error message improvements:
2131 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2132 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2133 in the error message, to be its child.
2134 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2136 Better workflow flexibility:
2137 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2138 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2140 Support for Debian backports suites:
2141 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2142 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2143 * Use correct default archive location.
2144 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2147 Packaging improvement:
2148 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2149 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2150 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2192 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2194 Improved behaviours:
2195 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2196 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2197 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2198 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2199 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2200 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2201 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2202 Distribution field as the suite.
2203 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2206 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2207 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2210 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2211 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2212 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2213 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2215 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2216 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2217 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2219 Documentation and message fixes:
2220 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2221 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2222 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2223 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2224 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2225 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2228 Internal and debugging improvements:
2229 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
2230 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
2231 * Some code motion and cleanups.

2246 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.

2255 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
2256 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
2257 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
2258 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

2265 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
2266 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
2267 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
2268 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

2276 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
2277 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
2278 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

2284 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
2285 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
2286 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2287 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2288 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2289 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2290 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2291 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2293 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2294 --dry-run often not work at all.
2295 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2297 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2298 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2299 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2316 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2317 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2319 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2321 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2322 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2323 exactly to the top git commit.
2324 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2325 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2326 and can also have more skew.)
2327 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2328 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2329 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2330 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2331 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2332 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2333 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2334 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2335 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2336 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2352 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
2353 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2354 the remote suite branch.
2355 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
2356 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.
