Ebuild submitted by submitter_name . + Note that the "changed_file" listing is optional if you are simply bumping + the rev of the ebuild and are only making changes to the .ebuild file + itself.

That means that the most recent ChangeLog + entry *always* goes at the top of the file. More explanation below. + *************************************************************************** + + *************************************************************************** + ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: There are some ChangeLogs that don't follow this + format and organize all changes under the "correct" "*" entry. This is not + correct. However, rather than making a concerted effort to fix these + ChangeLogs, we should spend our energy defining a comprehensive and strict + XML-based ChangeLog format which we then migrate to. But for any entries to + any ChangeLog that *you* make, please make sure to always add entries to the + top of the file like a good boy/girl. Even do this if it's clear that you're + adding an entry to a b0rked ChangeLog. + *************************************************************************** + + This changelog is targeted to users. This means that the comments should be + well explained and written in clean English. + + Every new version or revision of the package should be marked by a '*' + separator line as above to indicate where in the chronology it was first + added to our CVS tree. Any changes since the last revision, really _any + changes at all_ have to be added to the top of the file, underneath the + initial copyright and cvs header comments, in exactly the same format as this + comment. If you are modifying older ebuilds, simply note them as changed + files and add your entry to the top of the ChangeLog. Resist the temptation + to "organize" your ChangeLog entries by placing them under the "correct" "*" + entries -- this isn't the purpose of the "*" entries. + + This means that you start with header line that has the following format, + indented two spaces: + + DD MMM YYYY; your_name changed_file1, changed_file2: Your + explanation should follow. It should be indented and wrapped at a line width + of 80 characters. The changed_files can be omitted if they are obvious; for + example, if you are only modifying the .ebuild file and committing a new rev + of a package. Any details about what exactly changed in the code should be + added as a message when the changes are committed to cvs, not in this file. + +-- A word regarding credit: + + Please add credit information ("ebuild submitted by ...", "patch submitted + by ...") to the ChangeLog. Do not add this information to the ebuilds + themselves. + + And remember: Give credit where credit is due. We're all doing this for + free, so the best we can hope (and expect!) to receive is credit. -- cgit v1.2.3-65-gdbad
