Why don't we try to reach a consensus? Maybe we should be allowed to |
23 |
simply run echangelog (or whatever is used) to generate a message like: |
24 |
26 Oct 2011; Pacho Ramos <pacho@g.o> -pangomm-2.26.3.ebuild |
25 |
|
26 |
And simply that |
27 |
|
28 |
Pros: |
29 |
- People refusing to add a message saying "Drop old" (or similar) could |
30 |
be happy with this, as no redundant information is required to be |
31 |
written in ChangeLog. |
32 |
- Users will still see that a package was removed, as it's indicated |
33 |
with "-" previous removed file. |
34 |
|
35 |
What do you think? |
36 |
|
37 |
From my point of view, if we don't try to reach a consensus, we will |
38 |
expend time on things to enforce a policy that we could probably expend |
39 |
on other tasks and, then, maybe all of us should try to stop being so |
40 |
strict and try to give in a bit (not sure if it's the way in English to |
41 |
say "ceder" :S) |
