25 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
27 New features [Sean Whitton]:
28 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
29 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
30 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
31 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
32 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
33 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
35 Documentation improvements:
36 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.

82 Important improvements to dgit:
83 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
84 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
85 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
86 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
87 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
88 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
90 Other improvements to dgit:
91 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
92 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
93 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
96 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
97 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.

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

578 * Actually honour the branch name, if we are on dgit branch, to specify
579 the suite, as documented in the manpage.
580 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
581 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.
582 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
583 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
584 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).

588 necessarily pulled in by anything else. (dpkg-dev Recommends
589 build-essential. But we don't actually need build-essential.)

596 * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,
597 so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
598 * New import-dsc feature.
599 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
600 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
601 is left somewhere useful.
602 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
603 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any

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

760 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
761 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
762 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
763 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
765 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
766 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
768 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
769 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
770 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
771 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
772 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
773 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
774 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
775 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
776 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
777 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
778 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
779 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
780 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
781 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
782 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
783 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
784 from dgit about what it was doing.
785 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
787 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
788 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
790 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
791 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
792 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
796 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
797 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
799 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
800 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
801 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version

808 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
809 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
812 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
813 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
814 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
815 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
816 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
817 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
818 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
819 messages. Closes:#800078.
820 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
821 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
822 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
823 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.

834 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
835 anyway. Closes:#827892.
836 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
837 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
838 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
839 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
842 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
843 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
844 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
845 Cosmetic change only.
846 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
847 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
848 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
849 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
850 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
851 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
852 to rollback and release the lock.

855 different test case git working tree tarballs.

889 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
890 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
891 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
894 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
895 removed by rules clean.

1098 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1100 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1101 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1103 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1105 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1106 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1107 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1109 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1113 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1114 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1115 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1116 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1121 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1122 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1123 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1124 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1125 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1126 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1128 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1129 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1131 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1133 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1134 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1135 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1136 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1138 Documentation improvements:
1140 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1141 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1142 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1143 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1144 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1145 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1146 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1148 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1150 Behind-the-scenes work:
1152 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1153 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1154 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1155 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1156 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1157 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1158 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1159 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1160 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1161 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1163 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1164 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1183 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1184 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1185 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1187 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1188 re-retreive the .dsc.
1189 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1190 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1191 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1192 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1193 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1194 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1197 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1198 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1199 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1201 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1202 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1203 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1204 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1205 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1206 host. Closes:#736529.
1207 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1208 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1209 regression test scripts to use.
1210 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1211 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1212 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1213 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1215 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1216 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1217 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1218 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1219 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1220 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1221 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1222 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1223 dgit rather than system one.
1224 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1226 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1227 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1228 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1229 used by default for any distro.
1230 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1231 the push of the suite branch ref.
1232 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1233 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1239 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1240 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1241 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1242 with all the building methods.
1243 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1244 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1246 Error message improvements:
1247 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1248 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1249 in the error message, to be its child.
1250 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1252 Better workflow flexibility:
1253 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1254 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1256 Support for Debian backports suites:
1257 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1258 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1259 * Use correct default archive location.
1260 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1263 Packaging improvement:
1264 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1265 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1266 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1308 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1310 Improved behaviours:
1311 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1312 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1313 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1314 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1315 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1316 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1317 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1318 Distribution field as the suite.
1319 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1322 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1323 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1326 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1327 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1328 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1329 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1331 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1332 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1333 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1335 Documentation and message fixes:
1336 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1337 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1338 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1339 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1340 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1341 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1344 Internal and debugging improvements:
1345 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1346 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

1400 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.

1402 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1403 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1404 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1405 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1406 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1407 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1409 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1410 --dry-run often not work at all.
1411 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1413 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1414 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1415 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1432 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1433 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1435 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1437 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1438 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1439 exactly to the top git commit.
1440 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1441 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1442 and can also have more skew.)
1443 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1444 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1445 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1446 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1447 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1448 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1449 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1450 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1451 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1452 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
