Bug#796087: Missing release notes
Package: libdrm2
Version: 2.4.64-1
Severity: wishlist
I wanted to see what changed between 2.4.63 and 2.4.64 (mostly to see which
bugs were fixed) but couldn't find any release notes or even a rough changelog.
Indeed, I couldn't even find those on the drm page or repository, so I cannot
blame the packaging.
Somehow I would expect at least some minimal summary of changes which is not a
blunt "new upstream release". Ideally this would be provided upstream, and it
would be great if this request would be forwarded.
The git log between 2.4.63-64 would be terse enough to be acceptable, but no so
for 62-63. Maybe we could produce a summary of closed issues from
bugs.freedesktop.org automatically, which at least would be informative.
I ask because by using the intel drivers I'm constantly affected with an
endless stream of small glitches, which gets fixed in one release and just
pop-up again in a release or two.
I'd like some minimal set of release notes in all the affected
packages/libraries so I can judge myself whether upgrading is worth the risk,
given upstream doesn't seem too reliable in that regard.
