Since a while ago I moved changelog.dd from phobos to d-programming-language.org on grounds that it's really a documentation thing not a coding thing.

That, however, makes it difficult for a person who submits a pull request that fixes a bug. They need to go and submit a pull request for phobos and then a pull request for d-programming-language.org. The life of the reviewers is also made difficult - they need to inspect two requests instead of one.

Do you all agree that it would be better to move the changelog back to phobos?


Thanks,

Andrei

I thought that it _was_ in Phobos. We had moved to a model where each project had its own changelog file with the idea that they'd be merged together in the primary changelog for releases (which would presumably be the one in d- programming-language.org). Having them separate makes it easier to keep track of bugs and avoids the permissions issues with commit access to d-programming- language.org. It also has the benefit of generally tying a changelog change to the commit where the changes were actually made.

Definitely move it back. Each of the projects should have their own changelog.dd which is used to generate the master changelog for releases.

Fully.  I never saw the move back or I would have cried foul.  The colocation of change with it's log is important.
