I think one should keep the whole changelog. Most of them won't be really big anyway, and take a neglectable amount of diskspace. It can be relevant for other reasons that seeing differences between two certain versions: To see why (or that) a certain change was made, perhaps in response to which bug. This is what I use changelogs for mostly, only in a small minority of cases I really want to know when a certain change was made (and even then, it matter whether you can confirm the change was made $long_ago, or perhaps just not documented and might be made unmentioned later on). I don't see why one would drop such historical information, even if only interesting for just that -- historical information. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
