Rakesh R commented on ZOOKEEPER-2672:
-------------------------------------
Adding one more point for discussion - I'm not sure whether any
project(internal build tool) referring to ZooKeeper's {{CHANGE.txt}} file and
the removal can break it. One approach is, retain this file in branch-3.4
releases and could be removed from branch-3.5 upwards?
> Remove CHANGE.txt
> -----------------

> Key: ZOOKEEPER-2672
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-2672
> Project: ZooKeeper
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 3.4.9, 3.5.2
> Reporter: Michael Han
> Assignee: Michael Han
>
> The CHANGE.txt is already not the source of truth of what's changed after we
> migrating to git - most of the git commits in recent couple of months don't
> update CHANGE.txt. The option of updating CHANGE.txt during commit flow
> automatically is none trivial, and do that manually is cumbersome and error
> prone.
> The consensus is we would rely on source control revision logs instead of
> CHANGE.txt moving forward; see
> https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@zookeeper.apache.org/msg37108.html for more
> details.
