Jan Høydahl commented on SOLR-17619:
------------------------------------
That unreleased folder on the main branch will be very big and impossible to
see from the file name where it will end up, you need to dig into the yaml.
When we back port a change from main branch in folder
changelog/unreleased-10.1, no file needs to move. If a fix was meant for 10.1
but isback-ported to 10.0 before release, the file is moved to the
unreleased-10.0 folder on main and branch_10x. Just the same as with
CHANGES.txt, it needs moving on all branches.
Remember that «logchange release» grabs everything in the unreleased folder.
We can make tooling to «move» a changelog yaml file on several branches, or
detect drift.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-17619

> Reporter: David Smiley
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pull-request-available
> Time Spent: 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h

> The [logchange|https://github.com/logchange/logchange] tool helps projects
> maintain a log of changes. Each change (e.g. from a PR) will no longer edit a
> CHANGES.txt file; instead it will include a _new_ YAML file in an appropriate
> directory with others for the next Solr version. The release process will
> execute the tool, which will build a CHANGELOG.md file and will probably also
> do something with the YAML files (remove?).
> Decide the most convenient way for us to run the tool for change authors.
> Could a gradle task do it? See [this
> issue|https://github.com/logchange/logchange/issues/397] filed on the
> logchange project.
> Outcome of this issue:
> * a logchange tool configuration file -- logchange-config.yml
> * Solr 10's CHANGES.txt entries converted to YAML. (start this issue by
> doing only a few before over-investing)
> * a dev-docs page
> ** for contributors/everyone: basic info explaining how each new change
> should be recorded. Explain how to run the tool to generate the YAML file.
> What field(s) matter the most; what should be ignored. Link to further
> details.
> ** for release manager: how to produce CHANGELOG.md. Link to further
> details. Ultimately this will probably move to the release wizard in some
> fashion.
> TBD: CHANGES.txt < 10 and CHANGELOG.md > 10 ?
> TBD: changes.html generation in the release process will be removed or will
> change.
