Panagiotis, there is no use in ChangeLog if information there is not reliable. With policy you suggest one will have to check ChangeLog first and then in half cases go to sources.gentoo.org to find out when ebuild was removed. Two actions instead of one: either look ChangeLog or go to web for cvs history. Also, repoman commit is even slower then echangelog and thus nobody waits for it to finish: just call it in console and switch to other deals then just return back to check. If there are very many commits it possible to script them. The only thing Samuli needs to do is to use ecommit() hook: ecommit() { echangelog "$@" repoman commit -m "$@" } But Samuli knows this very well and Fabian's answer describes situation best. -- Peter.
