As a rule, this is true. However, even though this is of necessity
a single source tree, there are 11 distinct source packages involved,
each with it's own version number and revision history.
I have been given permission by upstream to merge 5 of these source
packages under a single version. These are the ones that generate
the rutime libs.
The remaining six, which produce the executables, also have their own
version numbers and revision histories. For these, I need to keep the
revision histories seperate from the libs and each other....
So, this is why I am asking how to automate multiple changelogs....
Suggestions?
Cheers!
