Hello Mates,

today i got an interesting Idea in our Weekly News Survey. An User asks for an own Packaging Section. He mean that that is an place for Packagers to announce fixed Packages (with an Bugzilla Reference). So the Weekly News Format is maybe:

* Bugzilla-Number and Summary * Package and Version * Date and Packager * Free Text: What is changed. (Short Issue).

Exists interesting about that Idea? Would Packager like to announce through the Weekly News?

I'd suggest (at least for Factory) to follow the opensuse-commit mailing list

:) Every package change passes there already. And I'm actually not : sure

I want to inform you for every package I change :) this can be a lot of mails coming in your direction.

As Dominique and I just found out in IRC , there is a RSS interface

http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-commit/mailinglist.rss

Since most people would like to follow than reply-to such things, it may be better to get subscribed to this via reader. That is an interesting Idea. Thanks for that...

This boils down to an improved changelog system, where the package can classify the change type (eg, bugfix/security-fix/feature-addition/version update/minor change/... ).

So this could get filtered more easier afterwards.

We spoke about that since the beginning of OBS development, but so far no real concept how this could look alike is created. If someone starts to write a concept paper for that (how to store this, how packagers can deal with it and how you can search via it) it would be great :)

Doesn't Debian have this kind of information in their changelogs? Best, Christoph -- Christoph Thiel, Tech.
