Hi,
Tired of receiving 2.5 MB e-mails every time the kernel was upgraded, in
an attempt to work around the problem, I changed apt-listchanges'
configuration to disable the download of changelogs from the network
(since the one in the package is truncated, I told myself that I may get
a bunch of already seen entries, but a lot less).
Today, the kernel was upgraded in Sid, and for the first time since the
major overhaul, apt-listchanges behaved correctly, displaying only the
latest changelog entry, instead of going back to the bottom of the
changelog file, which means it correctly identified the entries I've
already seen, and eliminated them.
Why are local changelogs (extracted from packages) and remote ones
(downloaded from Internet) treated differently ? Are they processed by
two different algorithms ?
