Recently we had some package updates in the repositories where just the pkgrel was upped and nothing else was changed, and committed with "upgpkg: subversion 1.6.2-3" or "upgpkg: mplayer 29318-1.1". Both examples are worthless commit messages, as there's nothing in there that describes why it was bumped. Could we please make sane commit messages in the near future, so we have an idea why a package has been bumped?

Thanks.

Perhaps devtools could take a flag that would allow you to customize your commit message?

Ummm.... what?

extrapkg "this is a commit message"

Learn something new every day... :P Can communitypkg do this as well?

Mea culpa concerning subversion. I should have put the following message: "Rebuilt to solve http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/14738" I'll do better next time. F

Sorry, my wrong. I had rebuilt mplayer 29318-1.1 fixing FS#12897 (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12897). I've built subversion 1.6.2-3 but only for x86_64 arch. I cannot know why it has been bumped by François Charette. I will be making sane commit messages in the near future. -- Arch Linux Developer http://www.archlinux.org
