#244: Add Changelog summary feature to sdist ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.2.3.0 Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | Difficulty: normal Ghcversion: 6.8.2 | Platform: ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Comment (by duncan): I agree with Ross that a darcs changelog is far too much information. Much more that you could reasonably squeeze into an RSS feed entry for a new package. A format for changelogs is reasonable, or if we can work out a convention such as showing the difference between the current and previous changelog file. Personally I think the ideal thing would be a combination of a changelog written by the package author and an automatic API diff tool. The automatic API diff tool provides basic info and a human authored changelog can optionally provide helpful details / motivation / comments. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/244#comment:14 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
