[git-buildpackage] [ANNOUNCE] git-buildpackage 0.8.17

[Guido Günther]

Hi,
I'm happy to announce the relesae of git-buildpackage 0.8.17:

    https://git.sigxcpu.org/cgit/git-buildpackage/tag/?id=debian/0.8.17

Most notably we now have a new command

    gbp pristine-tar

to create pristine-tar commits when not also importing an orig
tarball. Here's a full list of changes:

git-buildpackage (0.8.17) unstable; urgency=medium

  * [0b4a348] imort-dsc: Allow for shorter apt: pseudo URLs instead of the
    apt:/// scheme.
  * [021fe9d] git-pbuilder: drop environment variables that passed in our
    config.  We don't want to pass them on to pdebuild since this can trip up
    the invoked build system.
  * [b70d859] Fix typos in comments
  * [d022623] pq_rpm: clarify doc string
    mention RPM and start with a capital letter to make
        gbp --list-cmds
    output consistent.
  * [956982c] New command 'pristine-tar'
    This allows one to run the pristine-tar import at a later point.  This
    is useful when using component tarballs and we need to reference the
    right trees for the commits.
  * [f1c3a6f] DebianGitRepository: better pristine-tar errors.
    We should not raise CommandErrors from methods on a GitRepository so
    convert the error and suppress the output. This will make us use the
    handler for GitRepositoryError in import_orig and pristine_tar which
    default to printing the error message. (Closes: #829252)
  * [f1e9d85] Don't print debsnap errors twice (Closes: #851128)
  * [7fd6ba1] docs: merge histories when importing.
    This is only necessary for non 3.0 (quilt) packages when not using
    merge-mode=auto with "gbp import-orig".
    Thanks to Sean Whitton (Closes: #864881)
  * [f905594] docs: drop commands for ancient git versions. Even oldoldstable
    has a more recent one.

Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release. As usual the
package is available via Debian unstable:

    https://packages.debian.org/sid/git-buildpackage

Cheers,
 -- Guido
