devscripts (2.10.40) unstable; urgency=low
[ Adam D. Barratt ]
* bts:
+ Update the manpage to mention local caching in the description
section and correct a typo. (Closes: #499397)
+ Accept a command consisting purely of a comment. (Closes: #501252)
* cowpoke:
+ Update to new upstream version
- Multiple architecture and distribution support.
- Options are now specified using --option rather than being listed
after the .dsc file.
- There is now a --create option to allow new build roots to be
easily created.
- There are two new configuration file options BUILDD_DIST (the
default distribution for which packages will be built) and
DEBOOTSTRAP, allowing one to specify which of {c,}debootstrap
should be used.
- The RESULT_DIR configuration variable has been replaced by
PBUILDER_BASE which points to pbuilder's base folder under which
architecture and distribution directories will be created.
- cowpoke.conf now supports per-arch and per-distribution options.
* debchange:
+ Don't attempt to automatically determine if the current changelog is
an NMU if an alternative changelog location was specified using the
CHANGELOG environment variable.
+ Update the Ubuntu distribution list. Add jaunty and remove the
no-longer supported warty, hoary, edgy and fiesty. Also add
"-backports" as a supported "extension".
+ Modify the message produced by --closes to make it clearer that it
is intended to be edited to add details of the bug and fix as
appropriate. (Closes: #495743)
* debcommit:
+ Allow --release to be combined with --edit or --confirm. Based on
a patch by Eric Gerlach. (Closes: #497988)
+ Allow a newly initialised (i.e. containing no HEAD) git tree to be
committed to. Based on a patch by Eric Gerlach. (Closes: #497995)
* debdiff: Correctly handle hyphenated distribution names when generating
a diff against the previous version of the package. (Closes: #503950)
* getbuildlog:
+ Apply some patches from Jörg Sommer (Closes: #496065)
- Unescape %7Es in log URLs to allow explicitly searching for
package versions containing tildes.
- Simplify a couple of variable assignments and use shell string
operations to extract the version and architecture from the logs.
+ Allow the logs for the build with the largest version number to be
easily retrieved. Based on a patch by Jörg Sommer.
* licensecheck: Match a couple more variants on the wording of a
3-clause BSD license. (Closes: #503378)
* nmudiff: Require an explicit confirmation as to whether the generated
mail should be sent, rather than defauling to not sending it.

changelog comments under some circumstances.

[ Christoph Berg ]
* debian/control: Remove the Dm-Upload-Allowed flag.
[ Stefano Zacchiroli ]
* debcheckout:

+ update user info about Vcs-* fields (correct developers' reference
section, add an URL to it)

+ add support to define custom rules for authenticated mode, this way
personal repos can benefit from '-a' (Closes: #501568)

reopsitories, in machine parseable format. Implement dumping of
TopGit-specific information for TopGit-enabled GIT repositories
