- * Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
- gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
- Closes:#720172.
+ INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
- * New handling for .pc directory: dgit history now no longer contains
- .pc at all. It is deleted whenever we find it. (When doing quilt
- fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary directory so that we
- can do dpkg-source --comit.) Closes:#764606. INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE -
- older versions of dgit will have trouble with these git histories.
+ * Client uses new infrastructure:
+ - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
+ gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
+ Closes:#720172.
+ - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
+ pulled.
- * Replace many calls to stat with new wrapper stat_exists; improves
- error handling and simplifies the code.
+ * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
+ packages. Closes:#764606.
+ - It is deleted whenever we find it.
+ - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
+ - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
+ directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
- * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
+ * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
- * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
- to most users).
+ Other significant improvements:
- * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
- forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
- command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
+ * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
+ series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
- * dgit-repos-server: Handle ' ' in SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND (which some
- git versions send, sigh).
+ * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
+ refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
+ relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
- * New dgit-ssh-dispatch infrastructure script for use on dgit repos
- server as part of ssh forced command.
+ * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
+ name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
- * Test suite restructuring to support new tests.
+ * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
- * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
+ * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
+ dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
+ Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
- * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
- al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
- convenient way to publish the dependencies.
+ * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
- * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
- series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#720177.
+ Minor improvements:
- * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
+ * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
+ * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
+ referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
+ * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
+ (Closes:#786955.)
+
+ Bugfixes:
+ * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
+ * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
* Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
-
* Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
Closes:#760805.
-
* Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
Closes:#763332.
-
- * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witht -wn, -wg,
+ * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
-wd.
+ * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
+ ancestor of git repo's git hash.
+ * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
+ * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
+
+ Documentation improvements:
+
+ * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
+ * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
+ (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
+ * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
+ section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
+ * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
+ * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
+ Closes:#763333.
+ * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
- * Document in manpage under `dgit push' that it is best to build with
- dgit too. Closes:#763333.
+ Behind-the-scenes work:
+
+ * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
+ (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
+ * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
+ al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
+ convenient way to publish the dependencies.
+ * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
+ * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
+ forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
+ command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
+ * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
+ to most users).
+ * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
+ * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.
