[10:28] <iulian> Bah, too late.
[15:02] <geser> cjwatson: Hi, as you sponsored my vim merges in the past: bug #927642 is awaiting sponsoring if you want to grab it
[15:14] <infinity> geser: There may be sentimental reasons why some of us would like to keep the changelog delta going back to warty.
[16:13] <geser> infinity: even if the real remaining delta is around 30-40 lines and the changelog entries over 1000 lines?
[16:16] <penguin42> they get truncated from the binary package these days anyway don't they?
[16:17] <tumbleweed> geser: and the first entry is a merge, there is already missing history
[16:17] <tumbleweed> penguin42: yes
[16:19] <geser> forget about it that the changelog is truncated now
[16:20] <geser> will re-add those 800 lines of changelog delta which I truncated
[16:21] <penguin42> otherwise it would have been silly to dominate the size of vim.tiny by the changelog :-)
[16:25] <geser> I was trying to find a balance between preserving history and to ease the reviewer (by making it easier to find the real changes in the debdiff)
[16:26] <geser> https://launchpadlibrarian.net/85975298/vim.debdiff is the debiff of the last merge (with complete changelog delta)
