gnulib (which we're already using elsewhere) has a "gitlog-to-changelog" module that allows you to autogenerate ChangeLog; basically we'd move ChangeLog to ChangeLog-2013 and then add a dist-hook that autogenerates everything after that. I quite like that approach, and it's used by major GNU projects such as coreutils and diffutils. -- Colin Watson [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list Grub-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
