Maybe only I missed it: I just found that all my packages that used to pickup the "ChangeLog" file don't show anything in pacman -Qc!

It seems I missed the note in the NEWS file of pacmans 3.4.0 release. Just a heads up.
Is it worth the work to update the changelog at all? Any plans on integrating a Changelog to the packages website? Do we need some convention how to order and format the file?
[andyrtr@workstation64 tmp]$ find /var/lib/pacman/ | grep changelog | wc -l 48
Not many packages seem to use that feature.

I don't think it's worthwhile to add ChangeLog support to the website. Personnally, I've started to remove ChangeLog from my packages. Usually it's just upstream update plus when another dev rebuild/fix your package they forget or don't bother to update the ChangeLog. I'm not the only one doing that. I update the abs tree daily and there is a definite trend going on about removing ChangeLog from the repos. The pacman package doesn't even have a ChangeLog. ;)
