It would be nice if we could use the existing "dchanges" tool to do this. > The announcements are reformatted into a format that looks like > mine, before being posted (to the instant-updates list, see below). Fine. I don't really care what the human-readable format looks like if we can use "dchanges" as the input to the script that produces it. > I can write a program to convert between the two formats, so that if > you edit your changelog in my format you can generate the release > announcement in dchanges format and never have to read it. That's fine. > The only thing I think I need to do this is a way to represent a > blank line in the dchanges format's "Changes" field. Didn't you do something like this for the description field in Debian packages? Bruce
