1 dgit (0.31~~) unstable; urgency=low
4 * Memoise git config lookups (big speedup!)
7 * dgit(1): Remove some obsolete caveats from BUGS.
8 * dgit(1); Mention that -wgf can avoid need for build-deps.
10 Useability improvements:
11 * Provide -wdd aka --clean=dpkg-source-d. Closes:#792433.
12 * Provide -wc aka --clean=check.
15 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.
16 * Provide cgit-regen-config command for cgi-grnet-01.
17 * Make dgit-ssh-dispatch not spew (harmless) warnings if caller
18 tries for a shell session (ie SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND not set).
21 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
25 * Client uses new infrastructure:
26 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
27 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
29 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
32 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
33 packages. Closes:#764606.
34 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
35 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
36 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
37 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
39 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
41 Other significant improvements:
43 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
44 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
46 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
47 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
48 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
50 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
51 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
53 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
55 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
56 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
57 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
59 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
63 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
64 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
65 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
66 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
71 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
72 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
73 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
74 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
75 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
76 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
78 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
79 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
81 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
83 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
84 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
85 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
86 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
88 Documentation improvements:
90 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
91 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
92 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
93 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
94 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
95 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
96 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
98 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
100 Behind-the-scenes work:
102 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
103 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
104 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
105 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
106 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
107 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
108 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
109 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
110 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
111 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
113 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
114 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

133 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
134 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
135 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
137 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
138 re-retreive the .dsc.
139 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
140 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
141 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
142 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
143 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
144 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
147 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
148 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
149 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
151 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
152 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
153 message instead. Closes:#736526.
154 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
155 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
156 host. Closes:#736529.
157 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
158 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
159 regression test scripts to use.
160 * Print better message for unknown operations.
161 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
162 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
163 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
165 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
166 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
167 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
168 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
169 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
170 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
171 * Fixed a manpage typo.
172 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
173 dgit rather than system one.
174 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
176 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
177 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
178 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
179 used by default for any distro.
180 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
181 the push of the suite branch ref.
182 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
183 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

189 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
190 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
191 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
192 with all the building methods.
193 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
194 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
196 Error message improvements:
197 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
198 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
199 in the error message, to be its child.
200 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
202 Better workflow flexibility:
203 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
204 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
206 Support for Debian backports suites:
207 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
208 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
209 * Use correct default archive location.
210 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
213 Packaging improvement:
214 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
215 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
216 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

258 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
261 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
262 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
263 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
264 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
265 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
266 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
267 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
268 Distribution field as the suite.
269 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
272 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
273 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
276 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
277 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
278 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
279 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
281 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
282 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
283 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
285 Documentation and message fixes:
286 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
287 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
288 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
289 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
290 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
291 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
294 Internal and debugging improvements:

353 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
354 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
355 * Remove scary warning from Description.
356 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
357 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
359 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
360 --dry-run often not work at all.
361 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
363 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.

385 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
387 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
388 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
389 exactly to the top git commit.
390 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
391 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
392 and can also have more skew.)
393 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
394 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.

397 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
398 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
399 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
