127 New features [Sean Whitton]:
128 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
129 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
130 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
131 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
132 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
133 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
135 Documentation improvements:

147 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
148 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
149 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
150 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
151 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
152 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
155 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
156 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
159 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
160 won't try to run it).
161 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
162 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
163 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).

182 Important improvements to dgit:

185 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
186 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
187 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
188 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
190 Other improvements to dgit:
191 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
192 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
193 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
196 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
197 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
198 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
199 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
202 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
205 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
206 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
209 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
210 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
211 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
212 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce

862 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).

868 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
869 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
870 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
871 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
872 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
873 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
874 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
875 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
876 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
877 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
878 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
879 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
880 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
881 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
882 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
883 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
884 from dgit about what it was doing.

888 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
890 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
891 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

913 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
914 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
915 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
916 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
917 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.

919 messages. Closes:#800078.

921 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.

935 anyway. Closes:#827892.

939 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.

943 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.

1101 than running it twice. When we are _not_ supposed to be using
1102 dpkg-buildpackage to clean, but we are running it to do the build,
1103 pass -nc. Closes:#793060.
1104 * Also suppress spurious runs of the clean target when building using

1113 * Fix Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browse to refer to chiark. (The dgit-repos on
1114 alioth aren't suitable right now because the master there can
1115 currently only be updated with an actual upload, ie dgit push.)
1116 * Make warnings fatal in dpkg-repos-admin-debian, dgit-ssh-dispatch
1117 (using setup_sigwarn).
1118 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Make warnings fatal (directly).
1119 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Do not complain if PERLLIB is empty.
1120 * Test suite: Honour DGIT_TEST_DEBUG=''.
1121 * With -DDDD, print out all gitcfg references (copious!)
1122 * Fix a debug message in the obsolete sshpsql archive access driver.
1123 * Test suite: More automatic enumeration of tests.

1125 operations run the right targets as expected (ie, that we are massaging
1126 the arguments to dpkg-buildpackage, and suppressing our clean target,

1171 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
1173 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1175 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1176 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1177 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1179 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1182 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1183 packages. Closes:#764606.
1184 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1185 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1186 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1187 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1189 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1191 Other significant improvements:
1193 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1194 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1196 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1197 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1198 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1200 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1201 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1203 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1205 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1206 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1207 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1209 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1213 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1214 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1215 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1216 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1221 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1222 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1223 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1224 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1225 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1226 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1228 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1229 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1231 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1233 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1234 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1235 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1236 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1238 Documentation improvements:
1240 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1241 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1242 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1243 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1244 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1245 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1246 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1248 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1250 Behind-the-scenes work:
1252 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1253 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1254 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1255 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1256 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1257 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1258 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1259 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1260 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1261 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1263 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1264 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1283 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1284 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1285 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1287 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1288 re-retreive the .dsc.
1289 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1290 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1291 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1292 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1293 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1294 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1297 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1298 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1299 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1301 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1302 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1303 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1304 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1305 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1306 host. Closes:#736529.
1307 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1308 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1309 regression test scripts to use.
1310 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1311 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1312 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1313 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1315 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1316 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1317 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1318 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1319 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1320 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1321 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1322 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1323 dgit rather than system one.
1324 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1326 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1327 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1328 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1329 used by default for any distro.
1330 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1331 the push of the suite branch ref.
1332 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1333 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1339 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1340 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1341 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1342 with all the building methods.
1343 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1344 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1346 Error message improvements:
1347 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1348 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1349 in the error message, to be its child.
1350 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1352 Better workflow flexibility:
1353 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1354 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1356 Support for Debian backports suites:
1357 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1358 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1359 * Use correct default archive location.
1360 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1363 Packaging improvement:
1364 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1365 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1366 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1412 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1413 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1414 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1415 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1416 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1417 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1418 Distribution field as the suite.
1419 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1422 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1423 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1426 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1427 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1428 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1429 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1431 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1432 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1433 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1435 Documentation and message fixes:
1436 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1437 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1438 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1439 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1440 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1441 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1444 Internal and debugging improvements:

1537 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1538 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1539 exactly to the top git commit.
1540 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1541 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1542 and can also have more skew.)
1543 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1544 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.

1593 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
1594 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

1598 dgit (0.6) unstable; urgency=low
1600 * Allow fetching when archive has out-of-date git hash in .dsc.

1605 dgit (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
1607 * Upload to unstable, as this version mostly works. (All the RC
1608 bugs of which I'm aware are now properly represented in the BTS.)

1612 dgit (0.4~pre2) experimental; urgency=low
1614 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
1615 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
1616 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1617 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1618 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1619 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

1623 dgit (0.4~pre1) experimental; urgency=low
1625 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
1626 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
1627 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
1628 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
1629 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
1630 * Much better error messages.
1631 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
1632 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
1633 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
1634 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).

1646 dgit (0.2) experimental; urgency=low
1648 * New version which might actually work but probably won't.

1652 dgit (0.1) experimental; urgency=low
