As the submitter who would be named > on the second line, how would I phrase the initial ChangeLog? The submitted changelogs that are nice just have 'INSERT_NAME' for the developers name+address. But most developers aren't too fussed about the name+address in the first line. So if you were submitted it it might be: 25 Apr 2003; INSERT_NAME foo-0.0.1.ebuild, files/somepatch: Initial import. Ebuild submitted by Anthony de Boer Other comments go here if needed about the build. That way I just copy the ChangeLog in, change my name and I'm done. This may make me seem very lazy, but by including a good changelog like this in your submission, your package is more likely to get in even just because it looks complete and you seem to have done your homework ;-). --=20 Robin Hugh Johnson E-Mail : robbat2@orbis-terrarum.net Home Page : http://www.orbis-terrarum.net/?l=3Dpeople.robbat2 ICQ# : 30269588 or 41961639 GnuPG FP : 11AC BA4F 4778 E3F6 E4ED F38E B27B 944E 3488 4E85 --4SFOXa2GPu3tIq4H Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Robbat2 @ Orbis-Terrarum Networks iD8DBQE+qa/CsnuUTjSIToURAtU+AJ4/x6VoShTT440TWL1yaUbaZeKy4gCgpSD3 kP5BPJrqEbbCXWxJIBDEWmQ= =quHm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4SFOXa2GPu3tIq4H--
