Creating the ChangeLog 8
Victor Tavares asks:
"It is always expected to find a file called
'ChangeLog' or something similar in most
software source tarballs. There is a section
in the
GNU Coding Standards document about them,
but I have seen many different formats for
ChangeLogs. Is there a standard way of creating
ChangeLogs when using CVS/Emacs/
(insert your favourite tool) to manage the
development? Are there ChangeLog tools or
converters?"
Yes, there is a script, cvs2cl.pl (Score:2)
parses the output, producing a ChangeLog
file. Yes, it unifies when different files
have the same log message on the same date.
You can get it from me by asking, or check
it out via anonymous CVS:
cvs -d \
:pserver:anonymous@cvs.red-bean.com:/usr/local/
checkout cvs2cl

What about vim? (Score:1)
What you all want him to do is use emacs for this. I don't like emacs, and I think that every user should be allowed to use the editor of his choice and still be part of the development.
Anyone care to address the other half here? Being CVS. CVS have all the logging one need for the ChangeLog file, surely there must be some script to convert it to ChangeLog and save it??
