Much ado about scripting, Linux & Eclipse: card subject to change

Personal Changelog

To kick off a new blog series on change and change accessories, I'd like to start with a bit of self-promotion about a great bit of system integration that would not have been possible without the Magic of Co-Op StudentsTM. Anyone who's been to the Eclipse Modeling Project's websites has probably seen how we generate release notes per build/release and per-bug deltas & patches. And as I've shamelessly promoted this a number of times in numerous bugzillae, it seems fitting to use a song we've most likely all heard before...

Reach out and touch change

Your own personal Changelog
Something that's accountable
Something able
Your own personal Changelog
Something for forensics
Something that's sick

Hist'ry unknown?
But you're not alone
Commits you own
Bugs that you have pwned
Load your web retriever
It'll make you a believer, oh

Search CVS
Put it the test
Well, it's not Jazz
But it's still real snazz
It will deliver
You know truth's a forgiver, oh

Reach out and track change [x2]

Your own personal Changelog
Something to show off your skillz
Your tricks and your spills
Your own personal Changelog
Something to show you're 1337
(And) don't miss a beat

Reach out, audit change

With hist'ry known
Your devs will come home
Flesh and bone
See what they have pwned
Load your web receiver
It'll make you a believer, oh
It will deliver
The truth's a forgiver, oh
