There are 3 things: First the apt way is another way to install apps and me personally i don't like to get so much informations or questions in somes cases if i use the custom interface for updating/upgrading/installing of the distro. I like it to have the infos before all happens and the "View CVS Button" button on www.archlinux.org/packages.php is a good place for me. And the possibility to make a diff is a nice feature too. Second is that Debain has a lot of more man power to document such things. So still again for me the best way is where devs fells happy to put the informations and the way isn't a bureaucratic monster. I don't see it as necessary that the arch devs have to document the changelog which is coming from the origin author of the application of the package. The link to the origin homepage is enough i such case. Third from my view debian packages needs more documentation because their builds aren't untreated as arch packages. I don't think i have to say which is the better way for me.-) At the end i there is one thing: I wish me a detailed, easy to read and well documented changelog in some cases too but we all live in the reality where a day have only 24 hours.-) See you, Attila _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
