That is upto you, although don't think it should be that hard when you
have git log. Just having git log in a nice way would probably be more
than enough of a changelog but that is upto you. I believe it is
something like git log --pretty or some switch like that which perhaps
just needs to be outputted into changelog and gzipped.

If and when it does get updated, just get the new one on top of it
with the version number.

But again, I leave it in your expert ends as to what you think is
best. If you feel won't fix is the answer, go ahead no issues :(

This seems like an issue with upstream not providing a changelog. I
think it would be quite time-consuming for the maintainer to maintain an
upstream changelog themself. Anyway, since this package is not moving
that much sinche 2017 or so, maybe we can close this bug (or mark as

Bests,

Bug#740594: xdelta3: have an upstream changelog with xdelta3

2014-03-03 Thread shirish शिरीष 
Package: xdelta3
Version: 3.0.8-dfsg-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
There is/was no upstream changelog with xdelta3. The only changelog is
the debian changelog which doesn't tell/share what changes were made
in a new release.

For e.g. from the recent changelog.

xdelta3 (3.0.8-dfsg-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * new upstream release (only minor changes)
  * Bug fix: Please add watch file, thanks to Dmitry Shachnev (Closes:
#735273).

Now I saw this when upgrading from xdelta3 3.0.7-dfsg-2 but it doesn't
tell what changes were made.

What would be nice is to have changelog.gz which are nothing but
collections of commit messages in the release.

For e.g. see alsa-util's changelog.gz

/usr/share/doc/alsa-utils$ zcat changelog.Debian.gz | less
alsa-utils (1.0.27.2-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release.
  * Drop all patches: all were git cherrypicks.
  * Add aplay_fix_off_by_one_errors.patch from git: fix two off by one
errors in aplay that prevented usage of the last available sample format.
  * Add systemd_service_typo.patch from git: fix typo in service file.
  * Add alsactl_home.patch: Add a new configure switch that allows one to
configure the value of $HOME for alsactl invocations.
  * Pass --with-alsactl-home-dir=/var/run/alsa to configure, to avoid
autospawned pulseaudio littering / (closes: #712980).
  * Hardcode the same in the sysvinit script.
  * Add systemd_restore_condition.patch: Check for the existance of the
asound.state file before trying to restore anything.

And this is from the changelog.gz

Changelog between 1.0.27 and 1.0.27.1 releases
(http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Changes_v1.0.27_v1.0.27.1)
(Reformated as ASCII text)
+++

* alsa-utils

  + Core
Release v1.0.27.2
Require alsa-lib 1.0.27.

  + ALSA Control (alsactl)
alsactl: return back the udevrules_DATA rule for 90-alsa-restore.rules
alsactl init: ca0106 file was omitted

  + Speaker Test
speaker-test: Fix wrong wave file played back in chmap setup

  + amixer
amixer: Print TLV of channel map controls
amixer: fix print_dB for -0.99 .. -0.01 range
amixer: Fix the hctl elem search bug

It would be nice to have something similar like that.

Looking forward to reply.
