Hi,

We are using r-forge to create a package. My query is that how do I keep the
change log updated. I created the change log by doing the following:
svn log -v>./inst/changelog

Also if I do
svn add ./inst/changelog and
svn commit -m "Adding changelog"

then the changelog is one version behind in the commit history. How do I
solve this?


I wouldn't add the svn log to the package: it's a waste of space there. Just give a URL to retrieving the log from R-forge. For example,

https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/tkrgl/?root=rgl&view=log

will show you the complete log for the tkrgl package within the rgl project, and

https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/?root=rgl&view=log

will show you the complete log for the project.

On the other hand, a changelog is a good thing, but should probably be coarser than the svn log. I would organize it by release version number of the package, but other people may do something else.
