The difference between gentoo-x86 ebuild ChangeLogs and ChangeLogs used |
| 6 |
in other projects is that gentoo-x86 ChangeLog is more like NEWS file |
| 7 |
that summarizes important (affecting package) changes. That is why |
| 8 |
emerge -l was implemented. And that is why it's better to avoid typos |
| 9 |
there (fix them), drop redundant messages like comment edits, empty |
| 10 |
lines removal and etc... |

And then it's better to keep ChangeLogs. For developers it was never a |
| 17 |
problem to script `echangelog "log" && repoman commit -m "log"` and |
| 18 |
conflict resolution is really not that hard with git. In spirit of |
| 19 |
Gentoo, it's better to write some tool to update Manifests after |
| 20 |
conflict resolution instead of making ChangeLogs less useful for those |
| 21 |
who uses them. |

|
| 24 |
BTW as for profiles ChangeLogs... May be it's better to generate them. |
