+1 - sounds fine by me. I'll add the necessary readme to the package... when I make the package. :P
I think we should offer a ChangeLog.proto too, in an attempt to help standardize our changelog format. Something like as was mentioned in a semi-recent email thread... that I can't find. I've got it bookmarked at home, but it was something like:
date <email@address.org>
* pkgname-pkgver-pkgrel Reason we changed stuff Another reason we changed stuff gcc-4.1.patch: Removed, no longer needed
and so on.
Aaron just gave the link yesterday :) http://archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2008-January/004020.html Your example looks fine though. Just two unimportant comments : - the packager name is missing - I wanted to make it explicit that the file should end with just one newline. Some ChangeLog don't even have one newline, so pacman needs to add one manually. And then the other ChangeLog that already had two newlines (== one empty line at the end) end up with two empty lines, which doesn't look very nice.
