I use rsync to get the portage tree and the Changelog have not been |
| 28 |
touched since the migration. Did I miss something here ? |

Out of curiosity, I tried egencache --update-changelogs on the |
| 31 |
gentoo-science repo. It created most Changelog, while complaining |
| 32 |
several time and failing due to I think, utf8 characters being used. |
| 33 |
See the attached file. |

A few weeks back I was frustrated enough with the lack of Changelog |
| 38 |
that I hacked a small tool to query the changes made on a file using |
| 39 |
the GitHub API. You don't need to clone any git repo. It tries to |
| 40 |
mimic the Changelog layout and colors. It's far from being perfect, |
| 41 |
but it does the job for me. It is now available here: |
| 42 |
https://github.com/xhub/changelog-gentoo Maybe it is also useful for |
| 43 |
others ... |
