I still have one remaining issue.

The current ChangeLog files (that pb uses to create %changelog entries
for .spec file) doesn't content anythink concerning the version it
applies to.

What I mean is that for mondo e.g. I have:

# $Id: ChangeLog 1679 2007-10-11 23:24:45Z bruno $

MONDO CHANGES

2.2.5 (2007-10-11)
- Build process adapted to use pb http://trac.project-builder.org (Bruno
  Cornec) 
- Fix #137 and #3 issue with large exclude list (> 1000 chars) (Bruno Cornec)
[...]

2.2.4 (2007-07-06)
- Size of DVD is 4482 (or more surely 4480 to avoid problems - used everywhere) (Bruno Cornec)
- New Hardware migration guide with P2V (Eric Montaut/Gallig/Renaud/Bruno Cornec)
[...] etc


Which allows me to easily process that.

I do not really care about format in itself (I will have to provide a
converter), but I care about info such as version and date.

Currently we have:

2005-09-27      Bryan Gartner   <bry...@hp...>

        * incorporated v4 of the LinuxCOE System Designer

2005-08-01      Bryan Gartner   <bry...@hp...>

        * automated the integration of the LinuxCOE System Designer
          to a system, and partitioned the package into modules
          for each distribution

Would it be at least possible to add the version concerned ?
(Which goes back to my question on version management from the other day
BTW).

Thanks for your feedbacks.

Bruno.

PS: I have an option in pb to ignore logs that I'll use meanwhile, but
that's not good practice IMHO.
