47 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
48 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
49 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
50 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
51 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
52 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
53 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
54 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
55 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
56 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
57 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
59 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
60 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
61 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
62 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
63 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
64 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
65 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
66 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
67 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).
69 i18n - new translations [Frans Spiesschaert]:
70 * nl, dgit-user(7). Closes:#918253.
71 * nl, messages. Closes:#917148.

75 * dgit(1): Fix a formatting typo (spurious .TP). Closes:#917194.
76 * dgit-user(7): Fix formatting error in comment about multi-arch.
77 * dgit-maint-debrebase(7): handle DFSG-filtering for a new package.
78 [Sean Whitton] Closes:#915973.
80 Error message improvements:
81 * dgit: When reporting no such package, say `source package'.
82 * dgit: Fix reference to -wdn/-wddn in a message.
83 * dgit: cleaning: Minorly improved handling of note about ignores.
84 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Remove duplicated text from force

121 dgit (8.0) unstable; urgency=medium
123 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
124 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
125 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
126 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
127 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
128 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
129 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
130 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
131 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
132 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
133 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
135 dgit - Improved behaviours:
136 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
137 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
138 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
139 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
140 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
142 dgit - Important bugfixes:
143 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
144 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
145 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
146 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
147 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
148 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
149 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
150 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
152 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
153 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
154 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
155 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
156 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
157 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
158 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
160 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
161 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
162 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
163 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
164 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
167 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
168 is therefore not done.
169 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
170 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
171 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
172 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
173 * dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
174 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
176 Consequential changes:
177 * Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
178 * Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
179 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
182 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
183 * po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

520 * git-debrebase convert-from-gbp: Look for dgit-generated tags so we can
521 usually make the new branch ff of the dgit view. Closes:#903132.
522 * git-debrebase convert-from-gbp: Check that the result will not

524 the ff pseudomerge into -fdiverged. Related to #903132.

562 dgit (5.6) unstable; urgency=medium
564 * Merge the experimental branch containing the fianl
565 version of the test suite gnupg workarounds. Empirically,
566 - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
567 current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
568 - There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests
569 in a loop (eg to test ever commit), it is still good to set
570 DGIT_TEST_RETRY_COUNT=3 (say).
572 * test suite: Test that manpages format with only expected warnings.

637 * When build fails because the network is offline, mention
638 that this is because --since-version was not specified.
640 * When quilt fixup fails because of discrepancies, print a
641 git diff rune which will show them. Closes:#865446.
642 * When fetch or push wants git fetch (other than in a situation where it
643 happes to be a noop) but --dry-run was specified, fail with an
644 explanation, rather than looping with a false coplaint about git
645 fetch. Closes:#871317.

653 exiting with status 7.
655 dgit vcs-git handling improvements:
656 * Provide `update-vcs-git' subcommand, for creating and adjusting the
657 vcs-git remote url. Useful for transition from alioth to salsa.
659 * Print a warning to stderr on `dgit fetch sid', if your vcs-git

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

749 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
751 New features [Sean Whitton]:
752 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
753 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
754 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
755 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
756 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
757 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
759 Documentation improvements:
760 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
761 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
762 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
763 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
764 Closes:#864873,#878433.
765 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
766 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
769 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
770 specially. Closes:#886442.
771 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
772 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
773 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
774 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
775 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
776 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
779 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
780 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
783 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
784 won't try to run it).
785 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
786 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
787 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
788 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

806 Important improvements to dgit:
807 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
808 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
809 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
810 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
811 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
812 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
814 Other improvements to dgit:
815 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
816 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
817 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
820 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
821 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
822 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
823 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
826 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
829 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
830 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
833 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
834 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
835 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
836 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
838 * Other tests for new features.
839 * Various refactoring.

1114 * dgit config handling: Honour command-line and context-provided
1115 suite and distro more reliably and consistently.
1116 * Parsing of extended Dgit fields by import-dsc was broken;
1117 and is now fixed even for more-extended ones.
1118 * dgit clone-dgit-repos-server uses readonly access.
1120 * fetch and pull ignore the changelog suite when it is UNRELEASED.

1131 * Improve debugging output a bit.
1132 * Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/SUITE,
1133 which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
1134 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.

1174 Dealing with fallout from #849041:

1177 clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
1178 effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
1179 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
1182 * New test case for history-rewriting.
1183 * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
1184 the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

1467 Incompatible change:

1470 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1471 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1472 to change for the dgit user.
1473 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1474 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1477 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1478 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1481 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:

1483 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1484 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1485 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1486 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1487 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1489 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1490 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1492 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1493 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1494 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1495 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1496 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1497 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1498 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1499 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1500 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1501 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1502 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1503 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1504 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1505 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1506 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1507 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1508 from dgit about what it was doing.
1509 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1511 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1512 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1514 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1515 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

1536 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1537 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1538 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1539 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1540 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1541 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.

1563 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1566 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1567 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.

1575 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1576 to rollback and release the lock.
1577 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1578 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1579 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1580 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)

1598 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1723 * When we are using dpkg-buildpackage to clean before using it to also
1724 do the build, let it do its cleaning thing as part of its run, rather

1797 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1799 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1800 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1801 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1803 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1806 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1807 packages. Closes:#764606.
1808 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1809 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1810 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1811 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1813 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1815 Other significant improvements:
1817 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1818 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1820 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1821 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1822 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1824 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1825 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1827 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1829 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1830 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1831 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1833 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1837 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1838 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1839 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1840 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1845 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1846 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1847 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1848 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1849 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1850 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1852 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1853 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1855 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1857 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1858 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1859 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1860 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1862 Documentation improvements:
1864 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1865 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1866 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1867 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1868 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1869 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1870 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1872 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1874 Behind-the-scenes work:
1876 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1877 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1878 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1879 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1880 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1881 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1882 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1883 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1884 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.

1933 regression test scripts to use.
1934 * Print better message for unknown operations.

1936 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1937 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1939 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1940 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1941 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1942 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1943 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1944 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1945 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1946 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1947 dgit rather than system one.
1948 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1950 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1951 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1952 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1953 used by default for any distro.
1954 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1955 the push of the suite branch ref.
1956 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1957 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1963 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:

1965 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1966 with all the building methods.
1967 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1968 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1970 Error message improvements:
1971 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1972 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1973 in the error message, to be its child.
1974 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1976 Better workflow flexibility:
1977 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1978 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1980 Support for Debian backports suites:
1981 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1982 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1983 * Use correct default archive location.
1984 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1987 Packaging improvement:
1988 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1989 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless

2036 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.

2038 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2039 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2040 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.

2051 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2052 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).

2082 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Sat, 09 Nov 2013 10:12:13 +0000
2084 dgit (0.17) unstable; urgency=high
2086 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
2087 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
2088 * Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.
2090 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Thu, 07 Nov 2013 00:02:47 +0000
2092 dgit (0.16) unstable; urgency=high
2094 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
2095 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
2096 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
2097 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
2098 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.
2100 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Tue, 22 Oct 2013 13:06:54 +0100
2102 dgit (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
2104 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
2105 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
2106 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
2107 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
2108 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.
2110 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Thu, 12 Sep 2013 00:14:05 +0100
2112 dgit (0.14) unstable; urgency=low
2114 * Include package name in tag message.
2115 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
2116 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
2117 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
2118 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).
2120 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Sun, 01 Sep 2013 18:30:44 +0100
2122 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
2124 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
2125 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
2126 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2127 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2128 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2129 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2130 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2131 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2133 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2134 --dry-run often not work at all.
2135 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2137 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2138 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2139 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.
2142 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Thu, 29 Aug 2013 00:27:23 +0100
2144 dgit (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
2146 * Cope with packages with epoch. Closes: #720897.
2147 * Improve error message for non-fast-forward push. Closes: #720896.
2148 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
2149 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
2150 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.
2152 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Mon, 26 Aug 2013 16:50:39 +0100
2154 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
2156 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2157 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2159 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2161 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2162 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2163 exactly to the top git commit.
2164 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2165 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2166 and can also have more skew.)
2167 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2168 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2169 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2170 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2171 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2172 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2173 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2174 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2175 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2176 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
2178 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Sun, 25 Aug 2013 17:00:43 +0100
2180 dgit (0.10) unstable; urgency=low
2182 * Create .pc/applied-patches - do not empty it (!)
2184 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Sun, 25 Aug 2013 00:51:50 +0100
2186 dgit (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
2188 * New cleaning arrangements.
2189 * More comprehensive workaround for `3.0 (quilt)'.
2190 * In push, double-check the .changes against the changelog.
2191 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
2192 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
2193 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2194 the remote suite branch.
2195 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
2196 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.
2198 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Sat, 24 Aug 2013 18:49:02 +0100
2200 dgit (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
2202 * Fix comparison of archive's .dsc's hash and git branch head
2204 * When creating repos in dgit-repos (using the ssh-cmd method),
2205 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
2207 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive
2210 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Fri, 23 Aug 2013 12:24:09 +0100
2212 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
2214 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
2215 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
2216 * Manpage formatting fix.
2217 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
2218 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.
2220 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Thu, 22 Aug 2013 18:29:10 +0100
2222 dgit (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
2224 * Allow fetching when archive has out-of-date git hash in .dsc.
2227 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Thu, 22 Aug 2013 16:02:10 +0100
2229 dgit (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
2231 * Upload to unstable, as this version mostly works. (All the RC
2232 bugs of which I'm aware are now properly represented in the BTS.)
2234 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Thu, 22 Aug 2013 15:38:00 +0100
2236 dgit (0.4~pre2) experimental; urgency=low
2238 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
2239 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
2240 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
2241 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
2242 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
2243 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.
2245 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Thu, 22 Aug 2013 15:31:17 +0100
2247 dgit (0.4~pre1) experimental; urgency=low
2249 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
2250 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
2251 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
2252 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
2253 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
2254 * Much better error messages.
2255 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
2256 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
2257 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
2258 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
2261 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Thu, 22 Aug 2013 13:36:44 +0100
2263 dgit (0.3) experimental; urgency=low
2265 * New version which appears to be able to sort of work at least
2268 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Sat, 17 Aug 2013 09:18:04 +0100
2270 dgit (0.2) experimental; urgency=low
2272 * New version which might actually work but probably won't.
2274 -- Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> Fri, 16 Aug 2013 16:52:17 +0100
2276 dgit (0.1) experimental; urgency=low
2278 * Initial experimental (partial) version.
