1 Dear all,
2
3 two small suggestions regarding ChangeLogs:
4
5 1) Why is there no ChangeLog in the eclass directory?
6 In my personal opinion this is missing there, if only for historical reasons... Should we still start one?
7
8 2) I'd like to suggest that for changelogs that grow beyond a certain size (e.g. profiles/ChangeLog)
9 the file is "rotated" similar to /var/log logfiles. I.e. the current file is renamed with a date extension and a
10 new file is started. This has the benefit that the archived file is static and will never be retransmitted
11 by rsync.
12
13 Opinions?
14
15 Cheers, Andreas
