prepare-ChangeLog-baz.py
Posted by Jorge Bernal April 06, 2005
Since I’m currently using bazaar for some of my personal projects, I wanted to have something like the famous preapre-ChangeLog.pl. I started to hack on the modified version for SVN, but the bazaar diffs were too different from CVS and SVN.
So I decided to play with python and pybaz, and got prepare-ChangeLog-baz.py.txt
It’s quite simple at this point, so it only tracks added, removed and modified files, but not “what has changed”. At this moment, it opens $EDITOR to let you specify the details for each file changed.
Some hints: Use REALNAME and EMAILADDRESS environment variables to set the corresponding ChangeLog fields. You need the python-bazaar package to got this script working. The package is waiting at MOTUNewPackages but you can fetch from python-bazaar1.1-0ubuntu1all.deb
