dgit (8.3) unstable; urgency=medium
dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
* Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
`dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
* With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
--clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
* Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
* Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
* clone: Create destination directory before using network.
* Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
* Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
* Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).
i18n - new translations [Frans Spiesschaert]:
* nl, dgit-user(7). Closes:#918253.
* nl, messages. Closes:#917148.
Documentation:
* dgit(1): Fix documentation of .quilt-mode config.
* dgit(1): Fix a formatting typo (spurious .TP). Closes:#917194.
* dgit-user(7): Fix formatting error in comment about multi-arch.
* dgit-maint-debrebase(7): handle DFSG-filtering for a new package.
[Sean Whitton] Closes:#915973.
Error message improvements:
* dgit: When reporting no such package, say `source package'.
* dgit: Fix reference to -wdn/-wddn in a message.
* dgit: cleaning: Minorly improved handling of note about ignores.
* dgit-repos-policy-debian: Remove duplicated text from force
report message. Closes:#913676.
i18n infrastructure:
* po/README: Fix reference to dgit-user_7.pot.
* po4a, pairwise-pocheck: Fix recognition of bare `<...>'.
* Update po and pot files.
Internal changes;
* dgit: Remove foolish uses of $b, which is very special in perl.
* Modest refactoring to support the other changes.
* test suite: pretend-pbuilder: Reject unknown options.
* Test suite: examplegit setup: Do not leave the tree dirty.

and (prompted) dgit --overwrite. Closes:#903377. [Sean Whitton]
i18n support:
* Check pod translations for a common class of syntax error.
(using new machinery for pairwise checking of pod translations.)
* po4a: Add -LUTF-8 to the config.
* po4a/.gitignore: actually ignore right .po4a.LANG.cfg.
test suite:
* Run everything with LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8.
* manpages-format: pass --warnings.

dgit (8.0) unstable; urgency=medium
dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
* Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
* Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
* Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
dgit - Improved behaviours:
* Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
* Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
* Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
* Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
dgit - Important bugfixes:
* Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
* Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
* dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
dgit - Additional sanity checks:
* quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
* quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
* Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
* Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
* Reject all git config options containing newlines.
* Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
dgit - Minor bugfixes:
* Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
* Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
* clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
* Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
Documentation:
* dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
is therefore not done.
* README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
* po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
* po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
* dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
* dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
* dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
Consequential changes:
* Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
* Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
* Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
Build system:
* Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
* po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

- There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests

DGIT_TEST_RETRY_COUNT=3 (say).

* When build fails because the network is offline, mention
that this is because --since-version was not specified.
Closes:#883340.
* When quilt fixup fails because of discrepancies, print a
git diff rune which will show them. Closes:#865446.
* When fetch or push wants git fetch (other than in a situation where it
happes to be a noop) but --dry-run was specified, fail with an
explanation, rather than looping with a false coplaint about git
fetch. Closes:#871317.
* --overwrite now no longer crashes if there is nothing to overwrite
(eg, when used with --new). Instead, it is simply ignored, as it is
ignored in situations where the push is fast forward. Closes:#863576.
dgit/git-debrebase interop bugfixes:
* git-debrebase interop: Add a missing debugcmd debugging print.
* git-debrebase interop: Actually tolerate git-debrebase make-patches

dgit vcs-git handling improvements:
* Provide `update-vcs-git' subcommand, for creating and adjusting the
vcs-git remote url. Useful for transition from alioth to salsa.

remote url disagrees with what's in sid's .dsc.

* Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
New features [Sean Whitton]:
* New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
* When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
<https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
Documentation improvements:
* dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
* Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.

Minor fixes:
* When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
specially. Closes:#886442.
* In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
* Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
* Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
* Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
Packaging:
* Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
Test suite:
* dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
won't try to run it).
* Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).

introduced in 4.1.
