-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, debchange has plenty of features that are useful even for the upstream changelog, e.g. a well-defined changelog format, handling of entries by multiple authors, interaction with VCS using debcommit etc. I am often tempted to use debchange to maintain the upstream changelog in my projects. But for that to be feasible, it should be a bit more relaxed about the changelog format (e.g. coping with missing distribution and urgency fields) and generate such fields, e.g. in a mode activated by "--upstream". If this is too far off debchange’s goals, feel free to mark as wontfix, I won’t be insulted. And suggestions about similar tools for upstream changelogs are welcome.
