You design your layout for the new ChangeLog.xml, extend echangelog to support the new style, then add it to gentoolkit-dev and bump. As people start using it, it outputs *both* style ChangeLog files, until such time that we've gone through and cleaned up the tree (or a set deadline, whatever we decide), then you remove the "old" style functionality from the tool. Now it only outputs the new XML ChangeLog.xml and it's all done. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering QA Manager/Games Developer Gentoo Linux Is your power animal a penguin? --=-1o9SzKE1JaSYDZk2+br1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBA/7OVkT4lNIS36YERAq3OAKCekG4bwzuTP5Cs8SlSu9PMk6jyPQCgg6Ws YuV0EKhuA0trOBPNVOQ9kPo= =ZiSg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-1o9SzKE1JaSYDZk2+br1--
