So you are telling me that people using github and the switch that took |
| 34 |
place has absolutely nothing to do with the changelogs going dead? |
| 35 |
Before I sent my first message here, I looked at the changelogs for |
| 36 |
several packages in the portage tree that I know for certain have been |
| 37 |
updated. Just as the OP stated in his email, those updates to those |
| 38 |
changelogs stopped in August. That is about the same time this |
| 39 |
git/github happened. While I do believe the git/github change has |
| 40 |
helped in a lot of ways, some of us still want our changelogs up to date |
| 41 |
so that we can see them and know what is going on, especially if we run |
| 42 |
into trouble and need to know what changed and when and need it to fix |
| 43 |
things. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
I find it odd that I have a problem, others are having the same |
| 46 |
complaint but it is me not wanting to use git/github that is the |
| 47 |
problem. I thought Gentoo was not depending on git/github either. |
