Updates need to be more descriptive than this. Changelog entries and CVS commits can range from "split package" to "oops, forgot the patch" to "attempted before newRepo finished, bump release". These are useless as update texts. Maintainers should list things that have changed (features added, upstream bugs fixed, etc.). Linking the upstream changelog or release announcement is also good. If this is enforced (and it may be good to add it to the critical-path suggestion), updates will be reduced since when there's little to write about, there's less justification for an update in the first place. - --Ben -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkqDOigACgkQiPi+MRHG3qTaagCglE3R1bqZ1xIj2JQyj5NrSdaW ptAAnRyVItMJ2s2zVfyb6ZQTgGGWS9K4 =X0Go -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
