For what its worth, I don't like this idea of adding a ChangeLog field to the DESCRIPTION file. Agreeing upon a standard location for NEWS or CHANGES or some such seems a more simple solution. As long as the presence of such a file is *optional*. And if the location really needs to be at the top, then the build tools could grab it from there as they do the DESCRIPTION file. + seth ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
