It's the same _to you_, because you know that there are only some minor number of fixes. But for almost anyone not you it could mean: . fix for specific bug . minor fixes . minor fixes and minor feature or two . minor fixes and one huge new feature . lots of new features ...so putting the longer form in there helps everyone else. > Copying the upstream changelog, that must people do not understand > does not help either. There's a big difference between a "git log"¹, a complete overview changelog² and something you put in a bodhi update³. ¹ http://yum.baseurl.org/gitweb?p=yum.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/yum-3_2_X ² http://james.fedorapeople.org/yum/yum%20overview%20changelog ³ https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2008-11027 -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
