3 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842354.
4 * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,

6 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.

10 that tests work when environment doesn't have defaults.

13 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup

47 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.

136 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
137 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
138 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
139 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
140 to change for the dgit user.

142 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
145 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
146 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
149 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
150 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
151 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
152 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
153 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
154 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
155 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
157 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
158 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
160 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
161 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
162 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
163 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
164 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
165 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
166 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
167 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
168 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
169 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
170 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
171 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
172 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
173 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
174 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
175 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
176 from dgit about what it was doing.
177 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
179 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
180 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
182 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
183 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
184 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
188 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
189 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
191 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
192 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
193 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
197 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
198 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
199 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
200 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
201 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
204 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
205 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
206 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
207 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
208 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
209 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
210 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
211 messages. Closes:#800078.
212 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
213 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
214 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
215 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
216 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
217 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
219 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
220 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
221 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
222 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
223 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
224 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
225 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
226 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
227 anyway. Closes:#827892.
228 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
229 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
230 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
231 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
234 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
235 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
236 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
237 Cosmetic change only.
238 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
239 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
240 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
241 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
242 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
243 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
244 to rollback and release the lock.
245 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
246 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
247 different test case git working tree tarballs.
248 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
250 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
251 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
252 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
253 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
254 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
256 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

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

465 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
467 * Client uses new infrastructure:
468 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
469 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
471 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
474 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
475 packages. Closes:#764606.
476 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
477 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
478 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
479 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
481 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
483 Other significant improvements:
485 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
486 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
488 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
489 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
490 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
492 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
493 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
495 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
497 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
498 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
499 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
501 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
505 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
506 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
507 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
508 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
513 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
514 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
515 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
516 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
517 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
518 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
520 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
521 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
523 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,

537 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
538 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
540 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
542 Behind-the-scenes work:
544 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
545 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
546 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
547 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
548 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
549 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
550 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
551 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
552 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
553 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
555 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
556 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

575 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
576 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
577 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
579 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
580 re-retreive the .dsc.
581 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
582 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
583 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
584 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
585 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
586 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
589 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
590 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
591 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
593 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
594 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
595 message instead. Closes:#736526.
596 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
597 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
598 host. Closes:#736529.
599 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
600 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
601 regression test scripts to use.
602 * Print better message for unknown operations.
603 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
604 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
605 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
607 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
608 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
609 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
610 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
611 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
612 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
613 * Fixed a manpage typo.
614 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
615 dgit rather than system one.
616 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
618 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
619 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
620 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
621 used by default for any distro.
622 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
623 the push of the suite branch ref.
624 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
625 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

631 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
632 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
633 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
634 with all the building methods.
635 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
636 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
638 Error message improvements:
639 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
640 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
641 in the error message, to be its child.
642 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
644 Better workflow flexibility:
645 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
646 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
648 Support for Debian backports suites:
649 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
650 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
651 * Use correct default archive location.
652 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
655 Packaging improvement:
656 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
657 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
658 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

700 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
703 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
704 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
705 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
706 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
707 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
708 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
709 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
710 Distribution field as the suite.
711 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
714 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
715 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
718 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
719 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
720 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
721 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
723 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
724 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
725 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
727 Documentation and message fixes:
728 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
729 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
730 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
731 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
732 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
733 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
736 Internal and debugging improvements:
737 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
738 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

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

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

827 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
829 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
830 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
831 exactly to the top git commit.
832 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
833 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
834 and can also have more skew.)
835 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
836 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
837 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
838 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
839 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
840 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
841 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
842 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
843 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
844 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
