What changed, and why was it important enough to get a revision bump, and how might it affect my system? These are questions a good sysadmin looks to a changelog entry for answers to, particularly when it's a core system package like openrc. When that changelog entry isn't there... PS, openrc still belongs in the baselayout component, right? Or does it go in core system now? Gotta love Gentoo's bugzy, still confusing as ever, even to relatively active users... Duncan
Changelogs are a feature, not a requirement. Furthermore, the software is marked as unstable, meaning that you are using it at your own risk. Finally, it's a matter for upstream. This would be a relevant Gentoo bug if the ebuild failed to install the ChangeLog doc.
This is a local gentoo bump. Browsing sources.gentoo.org shows that the version bump was for bug fixes. This should have made it into the gentoo changelog as it was a gentoo specific change.
Duncan... Cool it.. jeez... I haven't been annoyed by reading a bug report for ages... I guess when I bumped it echangelog barfed on something... it's fixed.

I believe Steve was commenting about the 0.2.4 entry that he believed Duncan was talking about.
ChangeLog entries for version bumps are not optional. Doug forgot to use the relevant tool to automatically make the entry. Duncan's request is appropriate, and Doug has fixed it, so we can all move on.
Thanks for the fix. =8^) Sorry if it came over a bit strong. It wasn't my intent to annoy, honest! =8^\ Duncan
