OK, we're getting a lot closer. But the above text has nothing to do with what this patch does - there is no sorting here. What you are doing is making the names of the tools consistent and adding those that are missing; that's what your changelog should say. > fix path to changes.rst > > make toolnames uniform with the toolnames in Changes.rst > make version commands uniform with Changes.rst > > Add missing tools in ver_linux > bash, bc, bindgen, btrfs-progs, Clang, gdb, GNU awk, GNU tar, > GRUB, GRUB2, gtags, iptables, kmod, mcelog, mkimage, openssl, > pahole, Python, Rust, Sphinx, squashfs-tools > > Signed-off-by: Manuel Ebner > --- > scripts/ver_linux | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------- > 1 file changed, 36 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) Otherwise I think the patch is good. If this were the only issue, I would just apply the patch and fix the changelog myself. Thanks, jon
