I like both suggestions. Maybe we could split by year? That way the old non-conforming entries would just go into the oldest log. Delaying rotation by one year (ie. the first entry in 2012 would cause entries in 2010 to be split off) would prevent getting a bunch of empty changelogs Jan 1st. -- fonts, gcc-porting, it makes no sense how it makes no sense toolchain, wxwidgets but i'll take it free anytime @ gentoo.org EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662
