The submitted changelogs that are nice just have 'INSERT_NAME' for the |
| 15 |
developers name+address. But most developers aren't too fussed about the |
| 16 |
name+address in the first line. |

So if you were submitted it |
| 19 |
it might be: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
25 Apr 2003; INSERT_NAME foo-0.0.1.ebuild, files/somepatch: |
| 22 |
Initial import. Ebuild submitted by Anthony de Boer <adb@××××××××.net> |
| 23 |
Other comments go here if needed about the build. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
That way I just copy the ChangeLog in, change my name and I'm done. |
| 26 |
This may make me seem very lazy, but by including a good changelog like |
| 27 |
this in your submission, your package is more likely to get in even just |
| 28 |
because it looks complete and you seem to have done your homework ;-). |
