4 * dgit(1): Better description of --overwrite. Somewhat
5 apropos of discussion in #902534.
8 * test suite: gdr-viagit, gdr-newupstream: Do not spuriously

10 * Fix bug ref to #865444 in previous changelog entry.
14 dgit (5.3) unstable; urgency=medium
17 * dgit: Do not introduce duplicate origs in .changes files,

20 * git-debrebase new-upstream: Provide better reflog entries
21 by setting GIT_REFLOG_ACTION. Closes:#901925.
24 * Better message formatting when --overwrite may be needed,
25 and a note about first dgit push in dgit(1). Closes:891031.

35 * When all Debian changes vanish with single-debian-patch,
36 do not fail to commit the patch queue removal. Closes:#877036.
37 * When build fails because the network is offline, mention
38 that this is because --since-version was not specified.
40 * When quilt fixup fails because of discrepancies, print a
41 git diff rune which will show them. Closes:#865446.
42 * When fetch or push wants git fetch (other than in a situation where it
43 happes to be a noop) but --dry-run was specified, fail with an
44 explanation, rather than looping with a false coplaint about git
45 fetch. Closes:#871317.
46 * --overwrite now no longer crashes if there is nothing to overwrite
47 (eg, when used with --new). Instead, it is simply ignored, as it is
48 ignored in situations where the push is fast forward. Closes:#863576.
50 dgit/git-debrebase interop bugfixes:
51 * git-debrebase interop: Add a missing debugcmd debugging print.
52 * git-debrebase interop: Actually tolerate git-debrebase make-patches
53 exiting with status 7.
55 dgit vcs-git handling improvements:
56 * Provide `update-vcs-git' subcommand, for creating and adjusting the
57 vcs-git remote url. Useful for transition from alioth to salsa.
59 * Print a warning to stderr on `dgit fetch sid', if your vcs-git
60 remote url disagrees with what's in sid's .dsc.
63 * dgit(1): Mention under `dgit build' that it uses the network.
64 * dgit(1): Clarify that --overwrite does nothing if not needed.
66 * dgit-user(7): Recommend sbuild-debian-developer-setup.
67 [ Sean Whitton. ] Closes:895779.
70 * Use nproc(1) rather than Sys::CPU. This is more portable and does not
71 depend on libsys-cpu-perl being installed. Closes:888496.

101 * dgit will now, when appropriate, check if it should call
104 [ Thanks to Sean Whitton for much useful input, and for
105 dgit-maint-debrebase(7). ]
108 * Fix the exit status of programs in dgit.deb, to avoid the Perl
109 misfeature which sometimes copies $! to the exit status.
110 * When checking that the tree is clean, check the git index too.
111 * In quilt_fixup_multipatch, work around git checkout paths
112 not deleting files. (Hypothetical bug AFAIAA.)
113 * Respect --quilt=nofix even if single-debian-patch.
116 * "confess" when we die due to a warning, rather than symply dieing.
119 * Move $playground global to dgit.

147 dgit (4.2) unstable; urgency=low
149 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
151 New features [Sean Whitton]:
152 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
153 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
154 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
155 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
156 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
157 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
159 Documentation improvements:
160 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
161 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
162 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
163 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
164 Closes:#864873,#878433.
165 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
166 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
169 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
170 specially. Closes:#886442.
171 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
172 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
173 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
174 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
175 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
176 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
179 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
180 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
183 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
184 won't try to run it).
185 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
186 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
187 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
188 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

206 Important improvements to dgit:
207 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
208 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
209 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
210 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
211 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
212 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
214 Other improvements to dgit:
215 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
216 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
217 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
220 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
221 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
222 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
223 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
226 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
229 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
230 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
233 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
234 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
235 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
236 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
238 * Other tests for new features.
239 * Various refactoring.

574 Dealing with fallout from #849041:
575 * Provide dgit-badcommit-fixup history-rewriting script.
576 * New rewrite map feature, which allows dgit git server to adjust
577 clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
578 effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
579 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
582 * New test case for history-rewriting.
583 * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
584 the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

741 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
745 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
746 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
748 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
749 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.

893 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
894 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
895 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
896 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
897 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
898 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
899 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
900 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
901 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.

903 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
904 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
905 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
906 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).

908 from dgit about what it was doing.

915 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

937 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
938 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
939 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).

941 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.

1102 * Fix a formatting problem in --build-products-dir= doc.
1103 * In manpage, do not seem to imply that NMU should be of only one
1105 * Qualify to Debian the manpage comment about how to do NMU.
1106 * In discussion on how to start using dgit when already using git, do
1107 not imply/assume that existing git history will have identical trees
1109 * Remove stray sentence in config section of manpage.
1110 * Manpage: Clarify wording of readonly config.
1111 * Manpage: Better cross-references for -k and keyid.

1115 * Introduce more sophisticated protocol negotiation for rpush.
1116 * Do not quote `:' in shellquote.

1118 the user about how to retry. Closes:#793144.
1119 * Slurp in entire git config, for better performance.
1120 * Rename `git-build' operation to `gbp-build' to make it clearer what
1121 it's for. Keep the old name as an alias.
1122 * Show `dgit sbuild' in usage message.
1123 * When we are using dpkg-buildpackage to clean before using it to also
1124 do the build, let it do its cleaning thing as part of its run, rather
1125 than running it twice. When we are _not_ supposed to be using
1126 dpkg-buildpackage to clean, but we are running it to do the build,
1127 pass -nc. Closes:#793060.

1138 alioth aren't suitable right now because the master there can
1139 currently only be updated with an actual upload, ie dgit push.)
1140 * Make warnings fatal in dpkg-repos-admin-debian, dgit-ssh-dispatch
1141 (using setup_sigwarn).
1142 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Make warnings fatal (directly).
1143 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Do not complain if PERLLIB is empty.
1144 * Test suite: Honour DGIT_TEST_DEBUG=''.
1145 * With -DDDD, print out all gitcfg references (copious!)

1147 * Test suite: More automatic enumeration of tests.

1195 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
1197 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1199 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1200 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1201 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1203 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1206 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1207 packages. Closes:#764606.
1208 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1209 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1210 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1211 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1213 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1215 Other significant improvements:
1217 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1218 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1220 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1221 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1222 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1224 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1225 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1227 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1229 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1230 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1231 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1233 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1237 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1238 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1239 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1240 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1245 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1246 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1247 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1248 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1249 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1250 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1252 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1253 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1255 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1257 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1258 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1259 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1260 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1262 Documentation improvements:
1264 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1265 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1266 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1267 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1268 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1269 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1270 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1272 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1274 Behind-the-scenes work:
1276 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1277 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1278 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1279 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1280 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1281 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1282 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1283 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1284 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1285 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1287 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1288 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1307 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1308 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1309 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1311 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1312 re-retreive the .dsc.
1313 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1314 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1315 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1316 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1317 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1318 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1321 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1322 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1323 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1325 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1326 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1327 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1328 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1329 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1330 host. Closes:#736529.
1331 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1332 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1333 regression test scripts to use.
1334 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1335 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1336 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1337 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1339 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1340 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1341 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1342 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1343 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1344 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1345 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1346 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1347 dgit rather than system one.
1348 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1350 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1351 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1352 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1353 used by default for any distro.
1354 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1355 the push of the suite branch ref.
1356 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1357 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1363 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1364 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1365 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1366 with all the building methods.
1367 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1368 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1370 Error message improvements:
1371 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1372 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1373 in the error message, to be its child.
1374 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1376 Better workflow flexibility:
1377 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1378 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1380 Support for Debian backports suites:
1381 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1382 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1383 * Use correct default archive location.
1384 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1387 Packaging improvement:
1388 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1389 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1390 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1436 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1437 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1438 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1439 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1440 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1441 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1442 Distribution field as the suite.
1443 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1446 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1447 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1450 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1451 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1452 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1453 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1455 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1456 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1457 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1459 Documentation and message fixes:
1460 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1461 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1462 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1463 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1464 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.

1468 Internal and debugging improvements:

1527 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)

1529 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1530 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1531 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.

1534 --dry-run often not work at all.

1537 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.

1561 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1562 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1563 exactly to the top git commit.
1564 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1565 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1566 and can also have more skew.)
1567 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1568 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.

1592 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1593 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1594 the remote suite branch.
1595 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1596 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1600 dgit (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
1602 * Fix comparison of archive's .dsc's hash and git branch head
1604 * When creating repos in dgit-repos (using the ssh-cmd method),
1605 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
1607 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

1612 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
1614 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
1615 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
1616 * Manpage formatting fix.
1617 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
1618 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

1629 dgit (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
1631 * Upload to unstable, as this version mostly works. (All the RC
1632 bugs of which I'm aware are now properly represented in the BTS.)

1636 dgit (0.4~pre2) experimental; urgency=low
1638 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
1639 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
1640 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1641 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1642 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1643 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

1647 dgit (0.4~pre1) experimental; urgency=low
1649 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
1650 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
1651 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
1652 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
1653 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
1654 * Much better error messages.
1655 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
1656 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
1657 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
1658 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
