See the manual page for PKGBUILD (i.e.: `man PKGBUILD').
And see /use/share/pacman/ChangeLog.proto for an example of the layout. The variable was a feature added with pacman 3.4.0 and the wiki does not appear to have been updated yet. -- David Campbell

Thanks. That looks to be a rather standard ChangeLog format. I was thought there might be a special format for Arch ChangeLogs, similar to how Debian's ChangeLogs have a very peculiar required format. Good that isn't the case though :-) /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus@therning.org Jabber: magnus@therning.org http://therning.org/magnus identi.ca|twitter: magthe
