[U-Boot-Users] CHANGELOG going forward?

[U-Boot-Users] CHANGELOG going forward?

[Kumar Gala]

It sounds like going forward git commit messages will be used for  
CHANGELOG generation?  Is there a particular style that is desired  
for the commit messages?  Should be doing signed-off-by like the kernel?

thanks

I second this idea of using the same syntax (e.g. signed-off-by...) like the 
linux kernel. Makes it easier to handle patches for both projects.

Best regards,

Besides; git gives us that handy-dandy '-s' switch; it'd be a shame
not to use it.  :)

Yes, the CHANGELOG will be (from time to time) auto-generated from the
git commit messages.

git commit messages should  start  with  a  descriptive  single  line
summary  (which is what we will see as a quick overview in tools like
gitk etc.), eventually followed by additional description.

Yes, please include signed-off-by.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
