This is for general packaging, not the package review process. Packages that are part of the distribution must conform to these changelog guidelines. But we're not there yet. We are working up to the "initial package" state. This package is not yet in Fedora so it has no history yet it needs to be compared with. Furthermore, the package review guidelines make no mention of the changelog: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:ReviewGuidelines There's nothing that says I *can't* list these changes in the changelog now, but I really see no point. What's going on right now is that you and I are reviewing the package for inclusion in Fedora. The very first time other Fedora users will see it is after we get through this process. At that point it will be their first view of the package in the distribution. Release number 1. Subsequent updates to the package at that point warrant a changelog entry, but not now. There's no reason. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
