To see when the release was changed we have "Revision: XXXXX" in %changelog. You can also use 'mgarepo rpmlog <pkg>' to get the pkg changelog from cmd or use svnweb.mageia.org to see the changes more closely. > >> I don't have strong opinion about URLs in >> changelog, but something fights against them.

We should be more helpful and explicit than that. See: > An abbreviation for Bugzilla.Gnome.Org, widely used by other distros (mdv/suse/fedora/etcetc) too in their %changelogs. Just like for an example are rhbz (redhat bugzilla) and fdo (freedesktop.org) used. IIRC there is a policy (maybe just a draft) where's mentioned that when referring to external bugs the format should be "(XXXX#12345)" where XXXX stands for some abbreviation like bgo and numbers stands for the bug number. > http://blog.trustedadvisortoolkit.com/what-do-you-mean-by-wdym/ > > Regards, > > Shlomi Fish >
