16 git-debrebase, bugfixes:
17 * make-patches: Do not bail if there aren't any.
18 * scrap: works properly when it does only rebase --abort.
19 * On rebase: always save ffq-prev even if we were both stitched and
20 laundered. Closes:#905975.
22 git-debrebase, improvements:
23 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
24 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
25 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
26 unstitched. This is more friendly.
27 * convert-from-*: Snag on patches in d/patches which are not in series,
28 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.
29 * Highly experimental merge resolution support, enabled only with
30 special command line option.
31 * Lots of internal changes to support merge, and other work.
32 * convert-from-*: Check whether ffq-prev or debrebase-last indicate that
33 we are already in gdr format.
34 * convert-from-*: leave debrebase-last refs to hint to everyone that
35 this is now a gdr branch.
37 git-debrebase, improved messages:
38 * Improve ffq head recording message.
39 * Better (less copious by default) debug output.
40 * convert-from-gbp: Improve messages. Closes:#906641.
41 * Provide hints for unprocessable commits, depending on the apparent
42 branch ffq state, including possible suggestion to use convert-from-*.
43 Closes:#905005. Closes:#905279.
45 dgit, improved messages:
46 * Mention bad origs as possible cause of quilt fixup failure,
47 in both dgit(7) and in error messages. No longer suggest
48 --quilt=smash or dpkg-source --commit in the error message.
50 * Do not suggest --quilt modes if quilt fixup "stopped at"
51 a commit made by git-debrebase. Closes:#906197.
52 * Mention gitattributes as a potential problem in quilt linearisation
53 failure, when appropriate. Closes:#906199.
56 * dgit(1): Encourage --overwrite rather than --overwrite=version.
57 * Document that we do not suppress attributes which affect git-archive.
58 This is related to #906199.
61 * test suite: Set DEBFULLNAME
62 * test suite: unset GIT_EDITOR, so it works if user has that set.
65 * changelog: Add close note for #905400 to changelog entry for 6.5.

159 New features [Sean Whitton]:
160 * Introduce dgit.default.build-products-dir git configuration key.
162 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
163 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
166 dgit behavioural changes:
167 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
168 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
169 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
170 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
171 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
172 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
173 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
174 name supported as a deprecated alias).
176 Test suite improvements:
177 * test suite: unset VISUAL, which interferes. Closes:#904308.
178 * Honour DGIT_SCHROOT_CHROOT to set the schroot to use for the sbuild
180 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
181 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.
184 * apt-get method: when apt does not update release files,
185 unconditionally print hint about noatime. Closes:#851873.
186 * messages: Be a lot more friendly about NEW in particular,
187 and also add a couple of `please's. Closes:#904448.
188 * Make --build-products-dir (and the new config key) actually work.

343 fetch. Closes:#871317.

449 New features [Sean Whitton]:
450 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
451 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
452 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
453 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
454 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
455 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
457 Documentation improvements:
458 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.

469 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
470 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
471 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
472 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
473 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
474 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
477 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
478 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
481 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest

508 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
509 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
510 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
512 Other improvements to dgit:
513 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
514 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
515 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
518 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
519 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
520 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints

1097 * Do not crash in split brain quilt modes when the two brains are
1098 actually identical. (Eg --quilt=gbp with no patches.) Closes:#841770.
1099 * Switch to new archive/ tag format by default, even in
1100 non-split-brain mode.
1101 * Provide --gbp and --dpm as aliases for --quilt=gbp and --quilt=dpm.
1104 * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.
1107 * Introduce setup/gnupg, to help work around gnupg2 bug #841143
1108 and improve performance by amortising gnupg migration cost.

1116 * split brain cache: Fix a wrong implicit reference to $_.
1118 * split brain cache: Make sure to write reflog entries for cache updates
1119 even if the eventual tree (and therefore commit) is the same.
1120 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1121 but not be refreshed even by a build.
1122 * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
1123 Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
1124 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.
1128 * dgit(1): Document which --ch: options are a good idea.

1163 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
1165 Incompatible change:
1166 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1167 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1168 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1169 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1170 to change for the dgit user.
1171 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1172 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1175 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1176 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1179 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1180 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1181 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1182 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1183 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1184 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1185 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1187 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1188 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1190 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1191 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1192 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1193 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1194 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1195 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1196 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1197 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1198 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1199 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1200 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1201 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1202 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1203 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1204 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1205 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1206 from dgit about what it was doing.
1207 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1209 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1210 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1212 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1213 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1214 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1218 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1219 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1221 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1222 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1223 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1227 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1228 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1229 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1230 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1231 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1234 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1235 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1236 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1237 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1238 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1239 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1240 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1241 messages. Closes:#800078.
1242 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1243 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1244 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1245 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1246 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1247 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1249 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1250 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1251 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1252 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1253 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1254 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1255 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1256 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1257 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1258 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1259 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1260 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1261 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1264 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1265 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1266 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1267 Cosmetic change only.
1268 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1269 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1270 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1271 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1272 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1273 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1274 to rollback and release the lock.
1275 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1276 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1277 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1278 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1280 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1281 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1282 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1283 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1284 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
1286 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

1296 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1307 New checks and improved behaviours:

1309 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
1310 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
1311 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
1312 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1313 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
1316 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
1317 removed by rules clean.
1320 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,
1321 so that we don't need build-depends.

1495 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1497 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1498 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1499 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1501 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1504 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1505 packages. Closes:#764606.
1506 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1507 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1508 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1509 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1511 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1513 Other significant improvements:
1515 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1516 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1518 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1519 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1520 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1522 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1523 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1525 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1527 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1528 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1529 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1531 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1535 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1536 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1537 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1538 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1543 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1544 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1545 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1546 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1547 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1548 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1550 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1551 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1553 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1555 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1556 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1557 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1558 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1560 Documentation improvements:
1562 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1563 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.

1572 Behind-the-scenes work:
1574 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.

1576 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1577 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1578 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1579 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).

1602 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
1603 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
1605 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1606 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1607 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1609 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1610 re-retreive the .dsc.
1611 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1612 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1613 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1614 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1615 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1616 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1619 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1620 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1621 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1623 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1624 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1625 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1626 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1627 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1628 host. Closes:#736529.
1629 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1630 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1631 regression test scripts to use.
1632 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1633 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1634 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1635 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1637 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1638 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1639 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1640 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1641 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1642 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1643 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1644 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1645 dgit rather than system one.
1646 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1648 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1649 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1650 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1651 used by default for any distro.
1652 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1653 the push of the suite branch ref.
1654 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1655 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1661 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1662 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1663 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1664 with all the building methods.
1665 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1666 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1668 Error message improvements:
1669 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1670 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1671 in the error message, to be its child.
1672 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1674 Better workflow flexibility:
1675 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1676 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1678 Support for Debian backports suites:
1679 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1680 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1681 * Use correct default archive location.
1682 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1685 Packaging improvement:
1686 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1687 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1688 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1730 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1732 Improved behaviours:
1733 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1734 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1735 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1736 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1737 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1738 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1739 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1740 Distribution field as the suite.
1741 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1744 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1745 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1748 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1749 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1750 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1751 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1753 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1754 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1755 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1757 Documentation and message fixes:
1758 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1759 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1760 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1761 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1762 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1763 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1766 Internal and debugging improvements:
1767 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1768 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1769 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1804 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.

1814 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1815 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1816 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1822 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1823 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1824 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1825 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1826 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1827 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1828 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1829 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1831 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1832 --dry-run often not work at all.
1833 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1835 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1836 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1837 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1854 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1855 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1857 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1859 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1860 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1861 exactly to the top git commit.
1862 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1863 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1864 and can also have more skew.)
1865 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1866 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1867 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1868 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1869 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1870 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1871 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1872 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1873 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1874 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1891 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
