Changelog
dgit (3.0) unstable; urgency=medium
Protocol change:
* Dgit: field now records the nominal distro name, and a hint
for a tag and url where the git objects (including any rewrite
map) can be fetched.
* Use this information, where provided. Closes:#850431.
Bugfixes:
* dgit config handling: Honour command-line and context-provided
suite and distro more reliably and consistently.
* Parsing of extended Dgit fields by import-dsc was broken;
and is now fixed even for more-extended ones.
* dgit clone-dgit-repos-server uses readonly access.
Closes:#850521.
* fetch and pull ignore the changelog suite when it is UNRELEASED.
Closes:#848646.
* dgit-badcommit-fixup: Do not investigate symrefs. Closes:#850547.
Minor new feature:
* distro alias facility in config space. (Primarily for testing.)
* Undocumented --config-lookup-explode= feature. (For testing.)
* Provide `dgit print-dgit-repos-server-source-url'. Re:#850521.
* Honour dgit-distro.*.default-suite and dgit.default.default-suite.
Other improvements:
* Improve debugging output a bit.
* Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO,
which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
* Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.
* When generating orig+debian/patches view, copy debian/ from
HEAD. This makes less noise in diffs. Closes:#850095.
Docuentation [Sean Whitton and Ian Jackson]:
* dgit-sponsorship(7): Use --no-dep14tag. Closes:#849105.
* dgit-maint-merge(7): Use debian/source/patch-header. Closes:849120.
* dgit(7): Updated `trouble' section to suggest having dpkg-source
delete the autotools output (with a patch if necessary).
* dgit(1): Several minor updates and fixes. Closes:#850519.
Test suite:
* Internal improvements.
* badcommit-rewrite: Fix operation using installed version of fixup.
* Arrange to pass --debug-quick-random to gpg-agent.
* Strip block count out of find -ls output - it is unstable!
* gbp-orig: Add a missing -m, without which git would run an
editor if stdout was a tty (!)
* Add t-stunt-parsechangelog to a few tests which were missing it.
* Tests for the new protocol feature.
* Fail tests if we look up any configuration relating to Debian.
