26 -
27 - DD MMM YYYY; YOUR_NAME <YOUR_EMAIL> changed_file1, changed_file2 :
28 - Initial import. Ebuild submitted by submitter_name <submitter_email>.
29 - Note that the "changed_file" listing is optional if you are simply bumping
30 - the rev of the ebuild and are only making changes to the .ebuild file
31 - itself. Also note that we now have a single unified paragraph rather than
32 - having the first line separated from the rest by a newline. Everything
33 - should be in one block like this. (note by drobbins, 16 Jul 2002)
34 -
35 - DD MMM YYYY; YOUR_NAME <YOUR_EMAIL> changed_file1, changed_file2: this is
36 - an earlier ChangeLog entry.

38 --- Explanation of ChangeLog format:
39 -
40 - ***************************************************************************
41 - THIS IS IMPORTANT: The ChangeLog format is a *chronological* account of all
42 - changes made to a set of ebuilds. That means that the most recent ChangeLog
43 - entry *always* goes at the top of the file. More explanation below.
44 - ***************************************************************************
45 -
46 - ***************************************************************************
47 - ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: There are some ChangeLogs that don't follow this
48 - format and organize all changes under the "correct" "*" entry. This is not
49 - correct. However, rather than making a concerted effort to fix these
50 - ChangeLogs, we should spend our energy defining a comprehensive and strict
51 - XML-based ChangeLog format which we then migrate to. But for any entries to
52 - any ChangeLog that *you* make, please make sure to always add entries to the
53 - top of the file like a good boy/girl. Even do this if it's clear that you're
54 - adding an entry to a b0rked ChangeLog.
55 - ***************************************************************************
56 -
57 - This changelog is targeted to users. This means that the comments should be
58 - well explained and written in clean English.
59 -
60 - Every new version or revision of the package should be marked by a '*'
61 - separator line as above to indicate where in the chronology it was first
62 - added to our Git tree. Any changes since the last revision, really _any
63 - changes at all_ have to be added to the top of the file, underneath the
64 - initial copyright and file header comments, in exactly the same format as this
65 - comment. If you are modifying older ebuilds, simply note them as changed
66 - files and add your entry to the top of the ChangeLog. Resist the temptation
67 - to "organize" your ChangeLog entries by placing them under the "correct" "*"
68 - entries -- this isn't the purpose of the "*" entries.
69 -
70 - This means that you start with header line that has the following format,
71 - indented two spaces:
72 -
73 - DD MMM YYYY; your_name <your_email> changed_file1, changed_file2: Your
74 - explanation should follow. It should be indented and wrapped at a line width
75 - of 80 characters. The changed_files can be omitted if they are obvious; for
76 - example, if you are only modifying the .ebuild file and committing a new rev
77 - of a package. Any details about what exactly changed in the code should be
78 - added as a message when the changes are committed to Git, not in this file.
79 -
80 --- A word regarding credit:
81 -
82 - Please add credit information ("ebuild submitted by ...", "patch submitted
83 - by ...") to the ChangeLog. Do not add this information to the ebuilds
84 - themselves.
85 -
86 - And remember: Give credit where credit is due. We're all doing this for
87 - free, so the best we can hope (and expect!) to receive is credit.
