584 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
585 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).

591 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
592 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
593 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
594 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
595 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
596 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
597 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
598 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
599 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
600 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
601 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
602 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
603 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
604 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
605 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
606 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
607 from dgit about what it was doing.
608 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
610 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
611 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
613 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
614 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

628 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
629 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
630 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
631 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
632 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
635 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
636 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
637 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
638 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
639 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
640 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.

642 messages. Closes:#800078.

644 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
645 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
646 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
647 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
648 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some

654 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
655 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
656 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
657 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
658 anyway. Closes:#827892.
659 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
660 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
661 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
662 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
665 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
666 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
667 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
668 Cosmetic change only.
669 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
670 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
671 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
672 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
673 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
674 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
675 to rollback and release the lock.

678 different test case git working tree tarballs.

896 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
898 * Client uses new infrastructure:
899 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
900 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
902 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
905 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
906 packages. Closes:#764606.
907 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
908 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
909 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
910 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
912 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
914 Other significant improvements:
916 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
917 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
919 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
920 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
921 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
923 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
924 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
926 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
928 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
929 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
930 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
932 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
936 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
937 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
938 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
939 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
944 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
945 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
946 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
947 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
948 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
949 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
951 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
952 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
954 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
956 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
957 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
958 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
959 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
961 Documentation improvements:
963 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).

969 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.

973 Behind-the-scenes work:

978 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
979 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
980 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
981 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
982 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
983 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.

1041 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).

1043 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1044 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1045 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1046 dgit rather than system one.
1047 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1049 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1050 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1051 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1052 used by default for any distro.
1053 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1054 the push of the suite branch ref.
1055 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1056 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1065 with all the building methods.

1067 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1069 Error message improvements:
1070 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1071 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1072 in the error message, to be its child.
1073 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1075 Better workflow flexibility:

1077 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1079 Support for Debian backports suites:

1081 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.

1086 Packaging improvement:

1088 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless

1103 * Provide "test-dummy" distro with "dummycat" access method.
1104 * Provide a selection of autopkgtest (DEP-8) tests.

1110 Bump archive upload urgency to high.

1113 dgit (0.18.1) unstable; urgency=low
1116 * sshpsql archive query method passes LANG=C. Closes:#729788.
1117 * Subcommand program or argument options containing hyphens work.
1118 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
1122 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,
1123 which contains dget, doesn't require them because dput itself works

1128 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
1131 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1133 Improved behaviours:
1134 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1135 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1136 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1137 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1138 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1139 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1140 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1141 Distribution field as the suite.
1142 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1145 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1146 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1149 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1150 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1151 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1152 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1154 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1155 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1156 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1158 Documentation and message fixes:
1159 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1160 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1161 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1162 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1163 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1164 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1167 Internal and debugging improvements:
1168 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1169 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1170 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1183 dgit (0.17) unstable; urgency=high
1185 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
1186 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
1187 * Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.

1191 dgit (0.16) unstable; urgency=high
1193 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
1194 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
1195 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1196 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
1197 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

1201 dgit (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
1203 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
1204 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
1205 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1206 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
1207 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

1211 dgit (0.14) unstable; urgency=low
1213 * Include package name in tag message.
1214 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
1215 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1216 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1217 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1221 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
1223 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1224 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1225 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1226 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1227 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1228 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1229 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1230 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1232 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1233 --dry-run often not work at all.
1234 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1236 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1237 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1238 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1243 dgit (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
1245 * Cope with packages with epoch. Closes: #720897.
1246 * Improve error message for non-fast-forward push. Closes: #720896.
1247 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
1248 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
1249 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

1253 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1255 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1256 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1258 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1260 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1261 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1262 exactly to the top git commit.
1263 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1264 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1265 and can also have more skew.)
1266 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1267 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1268 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1269 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1270 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1271 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1272 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1273 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1274 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1275 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1285 dgit (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
1287 * New cleaning arrangements.
1288 * More comprehensive workaround for `3.0 (quilt)'.
1289 * In push, double-check the .changes against the changelog.
1290 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
1291 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1292 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1293 the remote suite branch.
1294 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1295 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1299 dgit (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
1301 * Fix comparison of archive's .dsc's hash and git branch head
1303 * When creating repos in dgit-repos (using the ssh-cmd method),
1304 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
1306 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

1311 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
1313 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
1314 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
1315 * Manpage formatting fix.
1316 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
1317 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

1337 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
1338 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
1339 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1340 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1341 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1342 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

1348 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
1349 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
1350 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
1351 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
1352 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
1353 * Much better error messages.
1354 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
1355 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
1356 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
1357 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
