How do you fix the changelog in those cases?
No way. It's set in stone. We just have to live with that...
Well, maybe that works for kernel developers (ie: seasoned developers), but I don't see *all* OBS users exhibiting that amount of discipline. We could, however, do the SR comment --> .changes entry thing as an option for "request accept". On Fri, Aug 31, 2012 at 11:35 AM, Jiri Slaby <jslaby@suse.cz> wrote:
But the changelog's purpuse is to tell the user why he should install/update a package.
I still do not think users read that at all. I, as a user, carelessly install updates and I really don't care what has changed (I would die if I did every distro upgrade/factory rebuild). Do they really care and why?
I do. I read them usually *after* I install updates, only because I have no easy way to read them before. Debian lets you read the changelog *before*, and almost everybody I know that uses debian reads it. Everybody I know that uses debian is tech savvy, so it's a biased sample, but it's still an important sample if you ask me. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
