Subject: [gentoo-dev] Devmanual text on ChangeLogs
Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 11:46:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4DBBCC6D.7080504@gentoo.org> (raw)

http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing/misc-files/changelog/index.html

There doesn't seem to be a common opinion on what the policy for
ChangeLog entries is. See:

http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_f829da2375f1ceab766a800913cc4998.xml

I propose a simple new text: "Every commit should have an entry in
ChangeLog." If we eventually autogenerate them from git logs this would
happen any way (unless some kind of filtering system is in the middle)
so we could already start now. I think it's better to have more than
less information available to users.

Regards,
Petteri
