How about:

  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-1995
  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-1996
  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-1997
  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-1998
  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-1999
  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2000
  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2001
  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2002
  gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2003
  testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog-1999
  testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2000
  testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2001
  testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2002
  testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2003

It's a bunch more entries for config/djgpp/fnchange.lst,
but the names will never change again.  And it would be clear that
new changelog entries don't belong in testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog-2003.

I don't get it: gdb/mi/ and gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/ both have a single
ChangeLog file.  Why would we want to create multiple files from them?

If all you want is to slightly change the name and put the years in
it, why not simply

   gdb/mi/ChangeLog.1995-2003
   gdb/testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog.1999-2003

?

The intent is that there will never be a file named 'ChangeLog'
testsuite/gdb.mi again.

So actually, if someone does re-create testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog, then
the ARI entry for "duplicate files" should not be solved by adding
fnchange.lst entries, it should be solved by removing
testsuite/gdb.mi/ChangeLog and putting the new entries in
testsuite/ChangeLog where they belong.  The ARI 8.3 warning is thus
a twisted kind of feature.  :)

We don't have any 100% fool-proof machinery to do that.  Unless they
all use Emacs, someone could simply create a ChangeLog file and commit
it.

Someone swift enough might check-in additional lines for fnchange.lst
without waiting for ARI's alert.

Also, if you want precedents for the names I suggested, gdb/tcl/ has
ChangeLog files with the .NNNN extension.

Anyway, there's no much sense in continuing this argument.  I already
said that I'll leave it up to Andrew to decide; I'll go along with
whatever he finds best.

For what its worth I think the only deciding factor here is the presence 
gdb/ChangeLog-YYYY file name convention.  If those didn't exist, or had 
adopted a different convention, we'd be following that.  (I kind of like 
the .NNNN choice but its now too late.  Well, unless we rename all the 
other ChangeLog files that is :-)

enjoy,

Yes.  I think it looks better, too.

Two ya's no nay's, I'll organize a patch.

Hmm, wouldn't gdb/mi/ChangeLog-1995-2003 be more consistent with 
gdb/ChangeLog-2003 et.al.?

Why, you're looking for an opportunity to add more lines to
fnchange.lst even when they can be avoided? ;-)

(We'll next be renaming gdb/ChangeLog-2003 to gdb/ChangeLog.2003 ... :-)

But is an fnchange entry still needed?  These will be the only files 
matching ChangeLo*.* in those directories.  Future ChangeLog entries 
will go in src/ChangeLog and src/testsuite/ChangeLog.

Maybe not today, but I don't like setting up the scenes for it in the
future.

It's up to you, though.

mi/ChangeLog et.al.

[Andrew Cagney]

Ok, I've managed to remember that:
	mi/ChangeLog
	gdb.mi/ChangeLog
	others?
need to be renamed out of existance.  Any suggestions as to what they 
should be renamed to?
