Description gent_bz 2005-01-06 16:19:14 UTC

"version bump" is a fairly unhelpful term, and while changelogs may be installed to /usr/share/docs/, it would be nice to have a simple link (where possible) to a changelog before installing the package.

So, if I use 'etcat -c package-name', it would be nice to see a link to a changelog (if one exists, of course) in the log, rather than just "version bump".
