[gentoo-dev] RFC: Repoman to autogenerate ChangeLog entries

[Petteri Räty]

I assume many of us have wrapper scripts to automatically generate
matching ChangeLog and CVS commit messages. When we eventually move to
git the plan is for the ChangeLog to be automatically generated from
git. To unify developer practices and to ease the transition to git it
has been proposed to make repoman automatically generate ChangeLog
entries. If you have any objections or thought please raise them. One
open question is what should repoman do if there is already a
modification to the ChangeLog file.

Petteri
