And what was the prevous style of changelog allowed, by the way? Originally, the debian changelog format was supposed to be pluggable, where people would write parsers for different changelog formats that would extract the necessary information (package name, version, changed-by, etc) from the changelog file. As it turns out, the current standard format works entirely sufficiently, and I doubt that anyone's ever used a different style, so that misfeature has been removed and the standard format everyone uses is now the One True And Only Format. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
