+.IX Title "ECHANGELOG 1"
+.TH ECHANGELOG 1 "2004-04-02" "perl v5.8.2" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
+.SH "NAME"
+echangelog \- Gentoo: update portage ChangeLogs
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
+echangelog [ \fItext\fR ]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This tool provides an easy way to create or update portage ChangeLogs
+in Gentoo. The tool scans the current directory, which is assumed to
+be a package directory such as /usr/portage/app\-editors/vim, finds
+what files have been changed or added, and inserts the appropriate
+entry to ChangeLog. If \fItext\fR is not provided on the command\-line,
+echangelog prompts for it.
+.PP
+All modifications should occur before running echangelog so that it
+can include the appropriate file information in the ChangeLog entry.
+For example, you should run \*(L"cvs add\*(R" on your files, otherwise
+echangelog won't know those files are part of the update.
+.PP
+If your text would cause the ChangeLog entry to exceed 80 columns, it
+will be rewrapped to keep the ChangeLog neat. If you need special
+formatting in the ChangeLog, then you can either (1) run echangelog
+with no text on the command\-line, and make sure that your text won't
+be too wide, (2) edit the ChangeLog manually. If you prefer (2), I'd
+recommend something like \*(L"echangelog blah\*(R" so that the header lines
+are computed correctly, then edit and change \*(L"blah\*(R" to your preferred
+text.
+.PP
+In addition to updating the ChangeLog, echangelog will automatically
+update the copyright year of all out-of-date ebuilds, as well as the
+ChangeLog itself. These updates are included in the diff displayed by
+echangelog when it finishes its work.
+.SH "OPTIONS"
+.IX Header "OPTIONS"
+Presently echangelog is simple enough that it supplies no options.
+Probably I'll add \fB\-\-help\fR and \fB\-\-version\fR in the future, but for
+now it's enough to track the gentoolkit version.
+.SH "EXAMPLES"
+.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
+To create a ChangeLog for a completely new package. The header is
+parsed from skel.ebuild.

+.IX Item "ECHANGELOG_USER"
+If echangelog can't figure out your username for the entry, you should
+set \s-1ECHANGELOG_USER\s0. For example, export ECHANGELOG_USER=\*(L"Aron
+Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>\*(R"
+.SH "NOTES"
+.IX Header "NOTES"
+As of the most recent version of echangelog (when this man-page
+appeared), echangelog puts all new entries at the top of the file
+instead of finding the appropriate *version line within the file.
+This is because that \*(L"new\*(R" ChangeLog format was never agreed upon by
+the Gentoo developers. Unfortunately the existence of both formats
+will undoubtedly cause much confusion.
+.PP
+This also means that the examples above are wrong, since I just copied
+them from some old email. However they're not much wrong. ;\-)
