considering you can do the following: |
| 19 |
$ echangelog "Version bump to KDE 4.0.1. This is a major version change, |
| 20 |
please review package.mask for details." |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
and for the other 207 packages you do |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
$ !echan |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
it sounds more like laziness on the part of the KDE team. |
