I think having the SPKG.txt is a very nice way for someone to get a quick overview of this. For instance, they could be attached to the main Sage page so that people can see how we've been changing/updating to upstream. hg logs would be different. But as Jason says, this has been hashed elsewhere. I do agree that getting SPKG.txt to be automatically generated from changelogs would be a nice way to get better changelogs, so maybe I am agreeing with Jason? - kcrisman -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
