Angstrom-console-image-glibc-ipk-2007.12-r4-h5000-testlab/installed-package-sizes.txt


That will give you the packages that changed, once you have that it's
trivial to find the changes by peeking in BACKPORTS.txt or using a
restricted mtn log (e.g. 'mtn log packages/<foo> --last 3')

| In this regard doing proper rev tags would help much, so we can run a
| kind of mtn2cl.sh on tag range.

That (any volunteers?) or keep a NEWS.angstrom file in the branch that
includes a user-readable changelist instead of concatenated commit messages.

regards,

Koen
