Sun Dec 22 14:53:46 CET 2024

Hi,
I'm happy to announce the release of git-buildpackage 0.9.36:

    https://git.sigxcpu.org/cgit/git-buildpackage/tag/?id=debian/0.9.36

Here's a list of changes:

git-buildpackage (0.9.36) unstable; urgency=medium
.
  [ Michael R. Crusoe ]
  * [aee0584] Idiomatic usage of pytest, remove almost all traces of nose
    (Closes: #1018367)
.
  [ Guido Günther ]
  * [4c63abd] d/control: Drop dependency on pkg-resources (Closes: #1083415)
  * [f243658] docs: Mardownify development hints
  * [379e63f] docs: Adjust test invocations for pytest. It's different from
    nose, sigh
  * [1f1f7f2] docs: Link to hacking
  * [a699d3b] docs: Add merge request URL
  * [45b2d4f] docs: Clean up markdown. Make mdl happy.
  * [5495aa6] docs: Use application instead of product.
    Avoids the ™. See
        https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/5.1/application
    While at that move all applications into their own block
  * [ae431af] docs: Use entities for lintian and rpm-lint.
    We use command rather than productname as the related text refers to
    running external commands.
  * [9c1ec80] dirlocals: Avoid tabs in xml mode
  * [e19f76e] docs: intro: Make first point more crisp
  * [e0e1102] docs: intro: Use <filename> around debian/changelog
  * [dc42093] docs: intro: Mention that we support push and pull
  * [12287be] docs: intro: Mention gbp push.
    The initial paragraph was written before gbp push existed.
  * [3d34a37] tests: Strip result.
    This unbreaks CI and lets us work with recent and older
    dpkg-parsechangelog.
  * [8396466] build: Allow to pass args to mypy. Useful in CI
  * [a3472d3] ci: Add upstream pipeline. Do the linting and checking before
    running salsa-ci
  * [f7c50a1] ci: Store ruff result as junit. Makes things easier to read in
    gitlab
  * [e228fed] ci: Run typecheck
  * [59b3da2] upstreamsource: Add some types for tarball lists.
    We need to slightly tweak the code for this
  * [80e5964] pristine-tar: Move import to its own function. Rename debsource
    to source while at that to match other scripts
  * [0365f5c] pristine-tar: Import upstream signatures too. Otherwise we're
    not consistent with import-orig
  * [55a5925] tests: Skip repo creation test in CI. We have too many perms
  * [c8dfce0] build: Allow to pass extra args to pytest. Useful in ci.
  * [0337772] ci: Run pytests. This allows us to run the tests that need
    network as well
  * [1930a4a] ci: Fetch deb packaging data.
    Enables us to run the deb based component tests. We do this for the test
    job only as the others don't need the submodules to work.
    The rpm component tests need more work so we don't fetch the subodule
    yet.
  * [69f1fe7] packaging: Don't run flake8.
    This makes the package build more robust as we don't have to worry about
    new formatting warnings/errors which don't affect the functionality of
    the package.
  * [15fe75e] ci: Use ci pipelines and robustify CI runs. Cancel running jobs
    to save resources
  * [4f28776] ci: Run ci-fairy. This keeps commit messages sane
  * [2c5d94d] tests: Ease checking exit status. Print the error log when exit
    status is not 0
  * [7a9c89c] tests/clone: Print logs on failure. Eases debugging in CI
  * [83af90e] ci: Enable tests that need network access
  * [fb6d859] ci: Run shell checks. We can drop them from the packaging run.
  * [410df5f] packaging: Drop test dependencies. We run the tests in CI
  * [b6aaa8e] tests: Enable coverage reports and coverage percentage
  * [6ff6117] gbp: Add pipes module verbatim from Python 3.12.8
  * [e401bae] pipes: Drop deprecation warning. Drop the deprecation warning,
    add a copyright header and make flake8 happy.
  * [43d4b3b] pipes: Use shlex.quote. Ensures we don't leak pipe.quote
  * [87e5905] gbp: Use our bundled pipes module (Closes: #1084672)
.
  [ Otto Kekäläinen ]
  * [ea20cff] Support numerical prefix in suite names.
    E.g. '12-bookworm' or '24.04-noble'.
    Repositories that have many parallel releases in maintenance are easier
    to manage when the suites have a number prefix so they sort alphabetically
    correctly, and also causes less cognitive load in trying to remember what
    release number and name to put in debian/changelog.
  * [dd3bba9] Document vendor detection and sort names alphabetically
  * [b8e75c6] docs: Consistently use 'upsreamvcs' as git remote for upstream
  * [a92b54d] docs: Misc minor tweaks and fixes
    * Fix one stray use of 'debian/sid' missed in 4dc9a6ce
    * Mention DEP-14 layout on page about branches
    * Update links to upstream Git homepage and to salsa.debian.org
    * Replace link 'here' with actual manual URL to make the link readable
    * Use https in links
    * Remove trailing white space
  * [14e2a30] docs: Use the shorter URL to online manual, and promote it in man pages too.
    Shorter is better and prettier, so promote https://gbp.sigxcpu.org/manual/
    over the long URL. Also promote this in the introduction of the most
    important man pages, as currently the anyone reading the man pages will
    not discover the online manual as the links are missing.
    The only link in the manpages currently is a local link, which does not
    render at all at e.g. https://manpages.debian.org/bookworm/git-buildpackage/git-buildpackage.1.en.html
  * [7ae9847] docs: Clarify that 'upstream' branch doesn't mean actual upstream branch.
    Correct common misunderstanding that the gbp 'upstream' branch is not
    the actual upstream branch, but a custom branch that represents the
    source code at the time of the release, and which together with the
    pristine-tar is used to reconstruct the upstream source code as-is.
    Co-authored-by: Guido Günther <agx at debian.org>
  * [1187384] docs: gbp-clone: Clarify commands and include --add-upstream-vcs in example.
    Also unify the use of `<screen>` syntax in examples to avoid excess
    whitespace, and fix some indentation.
    Use `vcs-git:` in examples to avoid confusing reader with multiple options
    for the exact same thing. Choose this spelling as it will be correctly
    associated with the `Vcs-Git:` field in the `debian/control` file in the
    mind of Debian maintainers/developers.
  * [74d059a] docs: Improve intro to better summarize what git-buildpackage can do
  * [3fc948a] docs: Extend intro mentioning uscan, pristine-tar, debchange, debuild etc.
    Extend the intro to mention that git-buildpackage uses under the hood
    many existing core Debian packaging tools. This is important as it gives
    new readers a better understanding of how git-buildpackage operates, in
    particular if they are experienced Debian packagers.

  [ Chris Lamb ]
  * [c224b03] Prevent "pq export" (etc.) from creating unparsable diffs when diff.noprefix=true is set.
    Using diff.noprefix=true globally makes Git nicer to use as a human, as it
    makes it possible to copy file paths when running git diff (etc.) on the
    command line.
    Otherwise, you typically see filenames which technically don't exist. For
    instance, these files aren't under a directory called "a" or "b" at all; they
    are placeholders:
      --- a/tochange.py
      +++ b/tochange.py
    However, when this global option is set, "pq export" will serialise the patch
    branch into debian/patches with the filenames missing the prefix, which
    dpkg-source then can't actually parse and it errors out. In other words, they
    look like this:
      --- tochange.py
      +++ tochange.py
    A patch is attached that overrides diff.noprefix when calling out to
    "git diff", meaning that it will use "a/" and "b/" as expected. This
    seems somewhat analogous to overriding the user's core.abbrev setting.
    (Closes: #1088032)

  [ Richard Lewis ]
  * [c9cc8df] buildpackage: remove export_dir if build fails.
    Previously, the export_dir was not removed if the build command
    (set by --git-builder) failed, or was interrupted.
    This commit ensures it is removed, unless --git-no-purge is used
    Not removing is useful for debugging, but does not need to be the
    default (Closes: #1088179)
  * [663b3ff] gbp: Use shlex.quote rather than pipe.quote
.
  [ Travis Wrightsman ]
  * [2914c03] docs: Add import-ref to gbp(1)

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