E.g. all developer signs are replaced with a generic one. Same issue when generating the ChangeLogs =66rom VCS with the current Manifests. Upside of doing it on rsync0 is that the full log is stored in sources.g.o, and the short/most relevant one is on rsync to the users. --=20 Fabian Groffen Gentoo on a different level --3LkAFa4R1oQZ/xxz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (Darwin) iEYEARECAAYFAk6pAtAACgkQX3X2B8XHTolvTwCePBxCiKGRmTrSn9CRZR5GaNNT AuAAn3EBkGnbTU3NOWtl/jlxmWOcQOTK =/5hQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --3LkAFa4R1oQZ/xxz--
