Where are you guys getting these recent ChangeLogs?  When I run 
`cvs update'  today 01/07   The ChangeLog is ancient.  Most recent
entry is 01/02/02.

Should'nt cvs be updating my ChangeLog with the `cvs update' command?

There's a very fine tool available at

http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/

,----
| This Perl script does what you think it does: it produces a GNU-style
| ChangeLog for CVS-controlled sources, by running "cvs log" and parsing
| the output. Duplicate log messages get unified in the Right Way. If
| you don't know what any of that means, then you're doing fine, just
| keep on truckin' (i.e., hit the Back button on your browser).
`----

It works recursively on a CVS tree and has some options for
controlling the output.

I call it (on Windows NT) from a batchfile with

,----
| @perl.exe -S cvs2cl.pl -S --no-wrap %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
`----

Best regards,
Christoph Conrad

Ick.. It never dawned on my there were many ChangeLogs.  So I guess
there isn't one general ChangeLog that covers all gnus eh?

No, there's one ChangeLog for each directory.  All the action is in
the lisp/ChangeLog file.
