The ChangeLog section under misc-files is misleading now that our main |
| 4 |
repository has been switched to git (and we no longer have |
| 5 |
ChangeLogs). Remove the ebuild-writing/misc-files/changelog page. |

-The <c>ChangeLog</c> must be updated with each commit. The |
| 28 |
-<uri link="::tools-reference/echangelog/">echangelog tool</uri> should be used to create <c>ChangeLog</c> entries; |
| 29 |
-the format of a <c>ChangeLog</c> is now defined as "whatever |
| 30 |
-<c>echangelog</c> creates". |
| 31 |
-</p> |
| 32 |
- |
| 33 |
-<p> |
| 34 |
-You should include references to any relevant bugs. The standard |
| 35 |
-format for doing this is via the phrase <c>bug #20600</c> — this |
| 36 |
-format (with the hash sign included) is recognised via |
| 37 |
-<uri link="https://packages.gentoo.org">packages.gentoo.org</uri> and |
| 38 |
-similar tools. When including user-submitted ebuilds or patches, you |
| 39 |
-should credit the user with their full name and email address (or |
| 40 |
-whatever they use to identify themselves on bugzilla <d/> some users |
| 41 |
-prefer to be known only by a nickname). |
| 42 |

| 43 |

| 44 |
-<p> |
| 45 |
-If you are changing keywords, make sure you clearly state what |
| 46 |
-keywords you add or remove. "Marked stable" is a nuisance for |
| 47 |
-architecture teams, even if there was only one keyword in the ebuild |
| 48 |
-at the time. "Stable on all archs" isn't generally any better (and |
| 49 |
-should you really be stabling on all archs?) — do you mean "all", or |
| 50 |
-"all the ones that are currently keyworded"? A list like "x86 sparc |
| 51 |
-mips" is much more useful. |

-If a <c>ChangeLog</c> file is not present in your current working directory, |

-then you should write a <c>ChangeLog</c> entry in the parent's directory |
| 72 |
-<c>ChangeLog</c> file. |

-<note> |
| 79 |
-It is <b>very</b> important that your <c>cvs commit</c> messages are |
| 80 |
-also informative to aid the QA team or architecture teams as well as |
| 81 |
-other developers if they are trying to troubleshoot issues which are |
| 82 |
-known to not have occured in previous versions of ebuilds, for |
| 83 |
-example. If your ChangeLog message is concise there is usually nothing |
| 84 |
-wrong with using it as the <c>cvs commit</c> message. |
| 85 |
-</note> |
| 86 |
- |
| 87 |
-<p> |
| 88 |
-Your message should explain what specifically you changed and, if |
| 89 |
-relevant, why. You don't need to write an essay or even a complete |
| 90 |
-sentence (<c>ChangeLog</c> messages, however, are required to be in |
| 91 |
-'proper' English so no <c>fixed that bug kthx Bob</c> messages — |
| 92 |
-please do use punctuation), so long as it is easily understandable and |
| 93 |
-(preferably) greppable. Bad and good examples, all of which are based |
| 94 |
-upon real messages: |
