Hey guys,

In taking P. Diddy's phrase of "Vote or Die" I've taken it in the Gentoo
world to mean "respond or die." I need directory listings of your
release material so I can get a handle on how much space I need to alert
my admins to.

Basically an "ls -lRh" of your directory structure for the release would
be perfect. 

That will be all gentlemen,
Jeffrey

I'll follow up with a release changelog as soon as the last component 
is online.

[gentoo-releng] 2004.3 ChangeLog! (was: 2004.3 infra request. respond or die)

There is a release ChangeLog for 2004.3 at
gentoo/xml/htdocs/releng/release/2004.3/ChangeLog that is in
"echangelog" format.  I have been using it to note closed bugs, which is
why I have not been adding arch-specific information.  The plan is to
put all the bugs in there that we have resolved, then add the
arch-specific ChangeLog information that we want the users to see at the
top of the file.  Essentially is would end up being an arch-by-arch
overview of the changes since 2004.2, then below a detailed list of all
the bugs closed.

Everybody should go check it out.

This doesn't mean we don't want you to do your changelog, quite the
contrary.  An arch-specific ChangeLog is definitely encouraged for all
arches.  I just wanted to remind everyone that we're planning on having
a *release* changelog which should show all changes across all arches
for this release.

Is there some way to reduce the duplication of effort here? We all know
that when the same information has to be duplicated in multiple places,
some will be out of sync. Take gentoo/misc/herds.xml. There's no way
that's up to date.

Well, if someone is doing a arch-specific ChangeLog, I was planning on
simply copying and pasting theirs into ours.

It seems simpler to just have them add it to the main changelog
themselves. That way, it will save you some work ;)
