Re: Removing ChangeLog [Was Re: 2.26 hard freeze status]

Anything else?We need at least one of:* A change to the GNU Coding Standards to stop requiring the ChangeLog format to be used in specified circumstances. Join the discussion on bug-standards if interested in that. This might need to be accompanied by e.g. appropriate conventions for crediting multi-author patches and for recording corrections to attribution information for commits without --author, or for other important corrections to commit messages (e.g. by subsequent empty commits whose commit messages state the corrections), and by technical measures such as shipping commit messages in tarballs or having versions of tarballs with the version history, if that's what ends up in the GNU Coding Standards.* An agreed format for including ChangeLog-format information in commit messages so that a ChangeLog can be generated automatically (again, allowing for corrections), appropriate scripts to include that generated ChangeLog in releases, and git hooks to ensure the format is properly followed.In both cases, more pre-commit review of commit messages than at present would be needed, and stronger requirements on having substantive commit messages.-- Joseph S.
