Should we assume > the user has the git history available? People are really still using tarballs in these days? ;-) But OK, you've got a point. However, I would still think that people who want to follow a process when updating are probably already using buildroot a git submodule of some sorts, so yes, they will have a git tree to look at. People who use a released tarball are not really looking for a sustained or long-term vision, and are not planning on upgrading. So, I think we can state something like: - look at the CHANGES file, and run 'git log' on the packages of your interest; if you are not using git, clone the upstream repository for this.
