Since the ChangeLog is something the casual user might be expected to read, it should be concise and organized. The Subversion log is in chronological order. The ChangeLog should not merely duplicate the Subversion log. Rather, it should have one entry per logical change. I would also say that the most important changes should be first in the ChangeLog, so that a user who begins to read it but gives up before reaching the end learns the most important things anyway. Such rearrangement and consolidation of the ChangeLog is probably something the release manager should do right before a release. I'm just trying to get a head start. > I assume those other two files were just innocent bystanders or > something :-) Oh crap. Undone in r39025. Thanks for catching that. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
