Seems people are still struggling what I expect from them in the commit message to make my life easier. I don't have a template for you as I don't want to cut down your creativity. :) What I can give you is a few questions you can ask yourself when writing it. o Is it a bug fix? If yes please mention this somehow in the commit message e.g. evas: Fix length check to avoid slow path in evas line That would perfectly indicate to me that this is a bug fix. o Does the bug have a phab ticket? (It should) Please mention the phab ticket number. Same for the coverity ID. o Bug fixes for features that just merged in this cycle are good but long standing bugs from older releases are more important to get mentioned. o For bigger features which might span over several patches I really would appreciate a good high level description that goes either directly into the release notes wiki page or in one of the first commits. If you do the later please point this out to me so I can bring it over to the release note page. (Hint: Directly put it into the wiki makes both our life easier.) Thats is for now. Once I find more problems I will let you know. For now I would like to keep this lean and grow more naturally. regards Stefan Schmidt ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
