Please continue providing ChangeLog entries as usual on master until we create the branch, and then on the gdb-11-branch. * On the master branch, once the gdb-11-branch has been created: - Stop requiring ChangeLog entries, neither in a ChangeLog file, nor in the commit message; - Continue requiring detailed commit messages, which give full context about the problem being addressed. The reviewers are encouraged to ask contributors to enhnace their commit messages if necessary (something we already do, but seems worth emphasizing). - To be implemented: Devise a mechanism which allows us to include in source packages a file with the list of changes made since the last release. Mostly for the record, one use case that was presented when requesting this feature was: | When looking at some 3rd party's gdb, to determine which | exact upstream GDB version the 3rd party based their version | on (so I could diff their local changes.) Without a dump of | the commit logs, we won't have an equivalent standard record | for that. Exact method to automate the generation of that information has not been discussed. Anyone willing to help with that? - For patches with multiple authors, we ask that commits with multiple authors have a... Co-Authored-By: xxx ... git-trailer, so that complete author information be kept. Note that this change of policy only concerns the code maintained by the GDB project. Remember that the binutils-gdb repository, as the name suggests, is shared between two projects, and that this announcement doesn't concern the files maintained by the binutils community. We will find the best location to document this change of policy momentarily. -- Joel
