Changelog
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%.
