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

612 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
615 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
616 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
617 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
618 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
619 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
620 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
621 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
623 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
624 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
626 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
627 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
628 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
629 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
630 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
631 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
632 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
633 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
634 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
635 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
636 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
637 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
638 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
639 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
640 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
641 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
642 from dgit about what it was doing.
643 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
645 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
646 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
648 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
649 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
650 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
654 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
655 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
657 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
658 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
659 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
663 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
664 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
665 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
666 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
667 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
670 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
671 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
672 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
673 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
674 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
675 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
676 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
677 messages. Closes:#800078.
678 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
679 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
680 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
681 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
682 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
683 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
685 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
686 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
687 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
688 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
689 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
690 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
691 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
692 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
693 anyway. Closes:#827892.
694 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
695 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
696 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
697 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
700 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
701 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
702 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
703 Cosmetic change only.
704 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
705 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
706 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
707 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
708 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
709 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
710 to rollback and release the lock.
711 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
712 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
713 different test case git working tree tarballs.
714 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
716 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
717 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
718 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
719 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
720 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
722 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

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

931 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
933 * Client uses new infrastructure:
934 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
935 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
937 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
940 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
941 packages. Closes:#764606.
942 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
943 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
944 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
945 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
947 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
949 Other significant improvements:
951 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
952 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
954 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
955 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
956 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
958 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
959 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
961 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
963 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
964 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
965 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
967 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
971 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
972 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
973 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
974 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
979 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
980 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
981 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
982 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
983 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
984 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
986 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
987 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
989 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
991 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
992 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
993 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
994 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
996 Documentation improvements:
998 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
999 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1000 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1001 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1002 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.

1008 Behind-the-scenes work:
1010 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.

1013 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1014 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1015 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1016 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1017 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based

1076 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).

1078 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1079 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1080 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1081 dgit rather than system one.
1082 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1084 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1085 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1086 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1087 used by default for any distro.
1088 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1089 the push of the suite branch ref.
1090 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.

1097 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1098 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1099 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1100 with all the building methods.
1101 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1102 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1104 Error message improvements:
1105 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1106 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1107 in the error message, to be its child.
1108 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1110 Better workflow flexibility:
1111 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1112 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1114 Support for Debian backports suites:
1115 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1116 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1117 * Use correct default archive location.
1118 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1121 Packaging improvement:
1122 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1123 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1124 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1151 * sshpsql archive query method passes LANG=C. Closes:#729788.
1152 * Subcommand program or argument options containing hyphens work.
1153 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
1157 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,
1158 which contains dget, doesn't require them because dput itself works

1163 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
1166 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1168 Improved behaviours:
1169 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1170 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1171 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1172 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1173 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1174 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1175 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1176 Distribution field as the suite.
1177 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1180 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1181 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1184 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1185 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1186 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1187 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1189 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1190 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1191 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1193 Documentation and message fixes:
1194 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1195 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1196 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1197 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1198 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1199 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1202 Internal and debugging improvements:
1203 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1204 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1205 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1220 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
1221 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
1222 * Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.

1228 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
1229 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
1230 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1231 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
1232 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

1236 dgit (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
1238 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
1239 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
1240 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1241 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
1242 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

1248 * Include package name in tag message.
1249 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
1250 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1251 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1252 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1256 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
1258 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1259 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1260 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1261 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1262 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1263 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1264 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1265 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1267 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1268 --dry-run often not work at all.
1269 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1271 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1272 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1273 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1281 * Improve error message for non-fast-forward push. Closes: #720896.
1282 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
1283 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
1284 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

1288 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1290 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1291 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1293 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1295 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1296 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1297 exactly to the top git commit.
1298 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1299 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1300 and can also have more skew.)
1301 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1302 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1303 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1304 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1305 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1306 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1307 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1308 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1309 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1310 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1325 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
1326 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1327 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1328 the remote suite branch.
1329 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1330 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1339 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
1341 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

1346 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
1348 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
1349 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
1350 * Manpage formatting fix.
1351 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
1352 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

1374 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1375 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1376 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1377 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

1388 * Much better error messages.
1389 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
