It seems to me that developers get complaints when they provide too little information, and also get complaints when they try to provide more information. In this case, I liked the added information, and this log entry was only being added to two files (as opposed to some long, detailed log entry which gets added to a few hundred files, and thus bloats up the CVS repository). I like to see enough information so the user can decide "do I need to immediately upgrade this port?". So, I liked the "new features" and "bug fixes" sections that he had to be in the log itself. I'll admit that the parts about documentation changes and code improvements did not seem quite as useful to me. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
