[pkg-bioc] changelog caching

[Egon Willighagen]

Hi all,

I'm about to commit a patch that will allow maintaining a changelog database.
For each deb build it will create a new entry, and update the debian dot/sub 
version number where appropriate.

E.g.

date (1.2.18-0.r2d.2) unstable; urgency=low

  * mechanically generated using cran2deb 1.3

 -- CRAN/BioC packagers <pkg-bioc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>  Mon, 21 Mar 
2005 11:53:59 +0100

date (1.2.18-0.r2d.1) unstable; urgency=low

  * mechanically generated using cran2deb 1.3

 -- CRAN/BioC packagers <pkg-bioc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org>  Mon, 21 Mar 
2005 11:52:30 +0100

Nice, isn't it :)

The idea is that we keep these changelog's in CVS, and commit to CVS for every 
upload to the yet unexisting repository. This would allow us to actually 
share these changelogs. Ideally we would have a build daemon or so, to reduce 
the chances that more than one person builds a deb, resulting in conflicts in 
CVS.
