Changelog
dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
* Client uses new infrastructure:
- Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
Closes:#720172.
- Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
pulled.
* dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
packages. Closes:#764606.
- It is deleted whenever we find it.
- Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
- (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
* All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
Other significant improvements:
* When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
* When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
* For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
* Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
* --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
* Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
Minor improvements:
* Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
* Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
* Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
(Closes:#786955.)
Bugfixes:
* Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
* Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
* Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
* Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
Closes:#760805.
* Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
Closes:#763332.
* Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
-wd.
* Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
ancestor of git repo's git hash.
* Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
* Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
Documentation improvements:
* Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
* Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
(Also part of the fix for #768470.)
* Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
* Better documentation for quilt series handling.
* Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
Closes:#763333.
* Other minor clarifications and improvements.
Behind-the-scenes work:
* Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
(Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
* New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
convenient way to publish the dependencies.
* Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
* Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
* Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
to most users).
* In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
* Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.
