Hi

Does somebody know about a package that support orgmode style of
ChangeLog *without* relying on git or magit (I am a mercurial user)


https://github.com/johnlepikhin/el-conventional-changelog

Requires git, for example


Regards

I cannot see the file you linked to but maybe vc-update-change-log will
do what you want, being version control system agnostic?

I think I explained myself rather badly

    1. Usually my workflow is:

       1. add-change-log-entry-other-window, which add an entry to the
          ChangLog file

       2. Then I run vc-checkin (or vc-dir)

    2. This results basically in what you are suggesting, however the
       resulting file is in ChangeLog mode

However I would also like to have ChangeLog file that is in org-mode
using org syntax. Lately I have seen quite a bit files ChangeLog.org
(and of course a lot of README.org) files.

So the question is, how to generate this file. Maybe there is a
ChangeLog-->ChangeLog.org exporter/converter?

I see only 6 calls to git in that file. Maybe the easiest way would be
to port it?

Or even better: generalize it by calling (vc-deduce-backend) and
automatically using the commands for the found vcs (and sending a patch
to the author)?

Best wishes,

Well looking more in the code, it seems that the logic is

    1. Commit with commit message

    2. Then extract and insert that commit message into a org buffer
       respecting org syntax

This is not what I am looking for. My workflow is, usually, the other
way around.


    1. I add an entry to the ChangeLog file

    2. Then I commit this message gets inserted (this step wouldn't make
       much sense if ChangeLog file uses org syntax, I admit)

But I want an independent ChangeLog file not an extracting from my
commit messages.
