releasenotes/changelog missing? #634

Closed MichaelMerkel closed 8 years ago

MichaelMerkel commented 8 years ago

hi.

the currentl nighlies (as of 09.08.2016) don't contain a changelog since yam has been moved to github. is this an inteded change? i usually like to read it when yam gets updates.

thanks and regards... michael

I am sorry, but that is/was an intended change. It was simply way to much of a hassle to maintain the ChangeLog file in long term. So please use the features of github to monitor changes. In addition, the update notification will have an automatic generated ChangeLog added.

IIRC you told me about a solution to generate the Changelog file automatically from the commit comments some month ago? That one could be included instead. Isn't that a viable solution?

jens-maus commented 8 years ago

Sure, just have a look at our nightly build script here:

https://github.com/jens-maus/yam/blob/master/www/nightly.yam.ch/yam-build.sh#L331

There you will see how the automatic generated ChangeLog file is generated now. BTW: There I can see that this ChangeLog should actually be included in each nightly build archive. Isn't it?

tboeckel commented 8 years ago

No, there is no ChangeLog file included in the archive, although the build log does try to include it:

The "resources" directoy and the YAM icon are missing, too. The archives consist of the YAM binary, the catalogs and the README.txt file only.
