While wrapping up nmh-git under a gentoo ebuild, I noticed that the

src_install section ended up wanting to copy ChangeLog to the target
filesystem. A quick look in the git tree showed no ChangeLog file, so
either the misplaced need for the file is an effect of nmh's automake
magic, or it's an effect of too much assumptions in gentoo's default
install phase.I've yet to look into it.
We generate a ChangeLog file on the fly from the git log (see the
ChangeLog target in Makefile.am). The distribution tarfile has one, but
it's only built if you explicitly ask for it (the dist target does
that). So I think if your ebuild does "make all ChangeLog", that should
do the right thing.
I see. Yep, adding that did the trick.
Thanks!
