Thank you, sir! BTW, remind me: when you show things you change in the
changelog for the emails on the updates-tesing and updates list,
do those changes mean those are the only ones you did, or that they differ
from the published
kernel.org kernels? Just the most critical change(s)?
Or is it something else?
Every change should have an entry in the changelog. The only exception
being the "abbreviated" changelogs for the upstream rebases.
For eg..
* Sat Sep 9 2006 Dave Jones <davej(a)redhat.com>
- 2.6.17.13
This means that every patch that is listed at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.17.13
is included in this build, and for more info check there.
every other change, even if its just changing a CONFIG_ option,
should get a changelog entry. Occasionally I'll slip up and
forget to changelog something, but that's usually a rare case.
