I believe someone has created a tool that formats > the messages into GNU ChangeLog style (including mentioning which > files and directories have been changed). > iirc, we already talked about that around 2 or 4 years ago (this was linked to some of my work on LIRC), but can't find any evidences... this is a good idea, in the mood of QA improvements/automation/focus on the important things... but will obviously be postponed to post 2.4.0 release. 3 things come to my mind: - when do we generate it? (ie is the dist target sufficient?) - timeline limitation: from 2.2.0 to 2.4.0 current, we have ~ 2900 lines... the use of "-r" is needed, - it seems we will also need an XML authors file, which is partly with AUTHORS. we might move that last to CREDITS and generate a plain text AUTHORS one.
