127 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
128 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
129 The new binary package is small, but
130 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
131 dgit test suite; however,
132 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
133 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
134 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
136 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
138 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
141 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
142 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
143 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
144 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
145 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
146 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
147 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
148 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
149 * Some other refactoring.
152 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
156 * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by

171 dgit (9.0) unstable; urgency=medium
173 dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
174 * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
175 (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
176 The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016. No version of dgit
177 without them was in any Debian release. We don't expect there are any
178 sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
179 using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.
181 git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
182 * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
183 would crash due to an argument parser bug. Closes:#930214.
184 * git-debrebase(1): typo fix. Closes:#930215.
186 dgit - new capabilities:
187 * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
188 Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
189 "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
190 [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman] Closes:#926640.
191 * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
192 Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball]. [Thanks for info from Shengjing
193 Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
194 Closes:#903392. Closes:#931253.
197 * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
198 (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
199 * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.
201 dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
202 * Expand on description of --include-dirty. New text may help
203 user avoid unexpected file deletion. Closes:#930922.
204 * dgit-maint-*(7): Suggest --name-status --diff-filter. Closes:#930956.
205 * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits. Closes:#930964.
207 dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
208 * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
209 (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
210 * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
211 (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
212 * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
213 * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
214 * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
215 * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
216 * Introduce rpush protocol version 5. Minimum version is now 4.
217 * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
218 * Considerable test suite work including new tests.
221 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Test taint removal. Closes:#929249.

265 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
266 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
267 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
268 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
269 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
270 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
271 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
272 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
273 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
274 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
275 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
277 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
278 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
279 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
280 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
281 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
282 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
283 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
284 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
285 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).

341 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
342 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
343 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
344 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
345 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
346 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
347 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
348 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
349 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
350 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
351 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
353 dgit - Improved behaviours:
354 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
355 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
356 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
357 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
358 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
360 dgit - Important bugfixes:
361 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
362 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
363 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
364 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
365 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
366 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
367 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
368 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
370 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
371 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.

373 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
374 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
375 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
376 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
378 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
379 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
380 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
381 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
382 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
385 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
386 is therefore not done.
387 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
388 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.

536 git-debrebase, bugfixes:
537 * make-patches: Do not bail if there aren't any.
538 * scrap: works properly when it does only rebase --abort.
539 * On rebase: always save ffq-prev even if we were both stitched and
540 laundered. Closes:#905975.
542 git-debrebase, improvements:
543 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
544 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
545 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
546 unstitched. This is more friendly.
547 * convert-from-*: Snag on patches in d/patches which are not in series,
548 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.
549 * Highly experimental merge resolution support, enabled only with
550 special command line option.
551 * Lots of internal changes to support merge, and other work.
552 * convert-from-*: Check whether ffq-prev or debrebase-last indicate that
553 we are already in gdr format.
554 * convert-from-*: leave debrebase-last refs to hint to everyone that
555 this is now a gdr branch.
557 git-debrebase, improved messages:
558 * Improve ffq head recording message.
559 * Better (less copious by default) debug output.
560 * convert-from-gbp: Improve messages. Closes:#906641.
561 * Provide hints for unprocessable commits, depending on the apparent
562 branch ffq state, including possible suggestion to use convert-from-*.
563 Closes:#905005. Closes:#905279.
565 dgit, improved messages:
566 * Mention bad origs as possible cause of quilt fixup failure,
567 in both dgit(7) and in error messages. No longer suggest
568 --quilt=smash or dpkg-source --commit in the error message.
570 * Do not suggest --quilt modes if quilt fixup "stopped at"
571 a commit made by git-debrebase. Closes:#906197.
572 * Mention gitattributes as a potential problem in quilt linearisation
573 failure, when appropriate. Closes:#906199.
576 * dgit(1): Encourage --overwrite rather than --overwrite=version.
577 * Document that we do not suppress attributes which affect git-archive.
578 This is related to #906199.
581 * test suite: Set DEBFULLNAME
582 * test suite: unset GIT_EDITOR, so it works if user has that set.
585 * changelog: Add close note for #905400 to changelog entry for 6.5.

679 New features [Sean Whitton]:
680 * Introduce dgit.default.build-products-dir git configuration key.
682 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
683 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
686 dgit behavioural changes:
687 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
688 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
689 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
690 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
691 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
692 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
693 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
694 name supported as a deprecated alias).
696 Test suite improvements:
697 * test suite: unset VISUAL, which interferes. Closes:#904308.
698 * Honour DGIT_SCHROOT_CHROOT to set the schroot to use for the sbuild
700 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
701 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.
704 * apt-get method: when apt does not update release files,
705 unconditionally print hint about noatime. Closes:#851873.
706 * messages: Be a lot more friendly about NEW in particular,
707 and also add a couple of `please's. Closes:#904448.

782 * Merge the experimental branch containing the fianl

784 - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
785 current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
786 - There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests
787 in a loop (eg to test ever commit), it is still good to set
788 DGIT_TEST_RETRY_COUNT=3 (say).

860 * When fetch or push wants git fetch (other than in a situation where it
861 happes to be a noop) but --dry-run was specified, fail with an

863 fetch. Closes:#871317.

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

990 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
991 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
992 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.

1052 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
1053 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.

1594 Absurd bugfix for serious bug:
1595 * Work around `git-apply' problems (eg #841865, #829067) exposed by
1596 `gbp pq import' (#841866) by sometimes falling back to an emulation of
1597 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.
1600 * dgit(1): Reorder the options, moving more important ones earlier.
1601 * dgit(1): Some more info about --deliberately.
1602 * Provide various --force-something options. Please don't use them.

1618 actually identical. (Eg --quilt=gbp with no patches.) Closes:#841770.
1619 * Switch to new archive/ tag format by default, even in
1620 non-split-brain mode.
1621 * Provide --gbp and --dpm as aliases for --quilt=gbp and --quilt=dpm.
1624 * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.

1638 * split brain cache: Make sure to write reflog entries for cache updates
1639 even if the eventual tree (and therefore commit) is the same.
1640 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1641 but not be refreshed even by a build.
1642 * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
1643 Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
1644 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.

1683 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
1685 Incompatible change:
1686 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1687 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1688 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1689 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1690 to change for the dgit user.
1691 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1692 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1695 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1696 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1699 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1700 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1701 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1702 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1703 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1704 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1705 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1707 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1708 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1710 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1711 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1712 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1713 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1714 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1715 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1716 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1717 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1718 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1719 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1720 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1721 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1722 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1723 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1724 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1725 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1726 from dgit about what it was doing.
1727 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1729 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1730 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1732 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1733 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1734 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1738 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1739 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1741 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1742 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1743 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1747 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1748 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1749 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1750 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1751 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1754 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1755 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1756 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1757 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1758 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1759 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1760 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1761 messages. Closes:#800078.
1762 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1763 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1764 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1765 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1766 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1767 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1769 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1770 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1771 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1772 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1773 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1774 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1775 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1776 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1777 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1778 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1779 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1780 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1781 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1784 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1785 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1786 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1787 Cosmetic change only.
1788 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1789 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1790 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1791 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1792 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1793 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1794 to rollback and release the lock.
1795 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1796 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1797 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1798 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1800 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1801 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1802 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1803 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1804 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
1806 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

1813 * Unbreak --dry-run (`exiting subroutine via next', broken in
1814 ac221d67, bug released in 0.22).

1816 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1827 New checks and improved behaviours:

1829 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
1830 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
1831 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
1832 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1833 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
1836 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
1837 removed by rules clean.
1840 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,

2015 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
2017 * Client uses new infrastructure:
2018 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
2019 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
2021 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
2024 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
2025 packages. Closes:#764606.
2026 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
2027 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
2028 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
2029 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
2031 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
2033 Other significant improvements:
2035 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
2036 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
2038 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
2039 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
2040 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
2042 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
2043 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
2045 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
2047 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
2048 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
2049 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
2051 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
2055 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
2056 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
2057 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2058 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2063 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2064 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2065 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2066 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2067 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2068 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2070 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2071 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2073 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2075 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2076 ancestor of git repo's git hash.

2087 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
2088 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
2090 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
2092 Behind-the-scenes work:
2094 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
2095 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
2096 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2097 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2098 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2099 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
2100 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
2101 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
2102 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
2103 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
2105 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
2106 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

2112 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
2113 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
2114 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

2122 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
2123 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
2125 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
2126 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
2127 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
2129 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
2130 re-retreive the .dsc.
2131 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
2132 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
2133 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
2134 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
2135 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
2136 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
2139 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
2140 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
2141 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2143 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2144 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2145 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2146 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2147 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2148 host. Closes:#736529.
2149 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2150 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2151 regression test scripts to use.
2152 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2153 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2154 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2155 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2157 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2158 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2159 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2160 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2161 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2162 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2163 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2164 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2165 dgit rather than system one.
2166 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2168 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2169 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2170 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2171 used by default for any distro.
2172 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2173 the push of the suite branch ref.
2174 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2175 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2181 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2182 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2183 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2184 with all the building methods.
2185 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2186 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2188 Error message improvements:
2189 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2190 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2191 in the error message, to be its child.
2192 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2194 Better workflow flexibility:
2195 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2196 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2198 Support for Debian backports suites:
2199 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2200 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2201 * Use correct default archive location.
2202 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2205 Packaging improvement:
2206 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2207 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2208 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2250 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2252 Improved behaviours:
2253 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2254 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2255 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2256 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2257 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2258 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2259 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2260 Distribution field as the suite.
2261 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2264 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2265 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2268 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2269 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2270 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2271 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2273 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2274 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2275 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2277 Documentation and message fixes:
2278 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2279 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2280 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2281 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2282 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2283 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2286 Internal and debugging improvements:
2287 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
2288 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

2314 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
2315 etc. output when stdout is redirected.

2324 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
2325 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.

2334 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
2335 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
2336 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

2342 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
2343 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
2344 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2345 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2346 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2347 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2348 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2349 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2351 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2352 --dry-run often not work at all.
2353 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2355 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2356 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2357 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2374 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2375 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2377 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2379 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2380 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2381 exactly to the top git commit.
2382 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2383 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2384 and can also have more skew.)
2385 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2386 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2387 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2388 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2389 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2390 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2391 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2392 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2393 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2394 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2411 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2412 the remote suite branch.
