Hi,

Sorry, I think I pushed the trigger on this a bit too soon.  After some discussions we concluded that it would be better to host this stuff within gnulib.  I would thus like to withdraw this project creation request.

Sorry for the trouble.

Siddhesh

Hello, Siddhesh!

What license are you going to use?  Your submission and the script say GPLv2+, but COPYING in your tarball is GPLv3.

Then, your README is copyrightable.  Please add valid copyright and license notices in that file.

Registration Details


  • Name: VCS to ChangeLog Generator
  • System Name:  vcs2changelog
  • Type: non-GNU software and documentation
  • License: GNU General Public License v2 or later





Description:

VCS2ChangeLog reads log output of a VCS (e.g. git, mercurial, etc.) and generate a ChangeLog that resembles the GNU ChangeLog format.  This allows GNU projects to automatically generate a ChangeLog from the log of the VCS repository it is stored in and hence not have to maintain it in tree.  This is done by interpreting the VCS log and then parsing the old and new files to get IR trees that can be compared for changes.

The project currently consists of a single script written in Python that generates a ChangeLog-like output from a git log and is specifically written for glibc.  Over time however this script will be expanded to understand and parse multiple file types (C/C++, python, perl, GNU make, etc.) and also target VCS software other than git, based on requirements of the GNU project.


Other Software Required:

- python, Python Software Foundation License version 2, https://python.org

- git, GPLv2, https://git-scm.org
