As an upstream author, you can use whatever format, and it won't affect Debian too much. (It only really affects distributions when it's mentioned by the license, e.g. the GPL has something about keeping a record of changes, but I doubt it's always followed.) Plain text is preferred, I suppose. You might want to look at the GNU Coding Standards: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Change-Logs.html#Change-Logs Emacs has functions for creating that format, of course. :) But maybe that's more detailed than you're looking for, if you're planning on generating one automatically. I think this is beyond the scope of the debian-mentors mailing list, so perhaps you should follow this up in private/elsewhere. -- Tim Retout <[email protected]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
