# ChangeLog for / # Copyright 2002 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.; Distributed under the GPL v2 # $Header: $ *-- (DD MMM YYYY) DD MMM YYYY; YOUR_NAME changed_file1, changed_file2: Initial import. ebuild submitted by submitter_name -- Explanation of ChangeLog format: This changelog is targetted 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 '*' seperator line as above. Changes since the last revision 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. 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.
