Sure, but is it worth spending 80% on a single package update to have something like that? I mean, let's face it, not a whole lot of people ever use the changelog[1] for anything, except when it's asked for in bug reports to confirm that the proper version is installed.
(agree -- was just pointing one of my use cases)
+ it helps me review requests submitted to G:F. If I see that upstream dropped libgnomeui, but that the packages still depends on libgnomeui, I can tell the submitter.
This, I consider, is an upstream problem. If we (read you :-) can somehow convince upstream to publish Changelog/NEWS in a machine readable/predictable format, this can caught and an automated warning can be issued.
Heh. That's, hrm, unlikely to happen :/ At the GNOME level, this sounds difficult already, so imagine the non-GNOME packages that we maintain ;-) After thinking a bit about it. I'd be okay (if the openSUSE policy is fine with that) if we: + don't copy all that information there + provide an easy way to see what has changed (eg, provide a link to NEWS or ChangeLog) during the review. Not quite sure how to do that, though. + automatically check that NEWS and ChangeLog are packaged Also, thinking about it. We might to package all the ChangeLog-2.12 files that are used in some projects.
