I'd say keep it simple: |
| 14 |
- one ChangeLog for each package dir, |
| 15 |
- one ChangeLog for each first-level subdir other than categories |
| 16 |
(i.e. eclass, licenses, profiles, etc.), |
| 17 |
- no ChangeLog for category dirs (they contain only a single metadata.xml), |
| 18 |
- top-level ChangeLog for anything not covered by the other ChangeLogs. |
