I can think of lots of ways to do the first and there are probably lots of existing implementations of it, but doing the second is rather less common AFAIK. The closest existing tool to this that I can think of is the one used to generate the daily compose reports, which is the `compose-changelog` tool in this repo: https://pagure.io/compose-utils that may be of interest to the original poster. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
