Description Gaetan Nadon 2009-10-09 18:07:59 UTC

This is a follow-up to bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24278. It's important that the generated ChangeLog file has no easy way of being removed as it cannot be regenerated from within a tarball as git is not available. Just like files README or NEWS.

For example, 
EXTRA_DIST += ChangeLog
or
CLEANFILES = ChangeLog
or
MAINTAINERCLEANFILES = ChangeLog

There are over 200 components in that situation.

Comment 1 Gaetan Nadon 2009-10-28 18:03:26 UTC

Patches have been created locally (not released yet) to correct all modules in that situation.

Comment 2 Gaetan Nadon 2009-12-01 18:19:06 UTC

ChangeLog removed from EXTRA_DIST but reviewers preferred having it on MAINTAINERCLEANFILES. All pacthes applied.
