Use
@latest
when running the changelog tool so we do not have to keepbumping the version (and backporting that version bump to the release
branches) when we update the tool.
Invoke the tool directly with
go run
instead of first installing itwith
go install
mostly because it's simpler, but also because theinstalled tool never gets cleaned up (and due to a missing
.PHONY
, itwould stick to an old version).
Always run the changelog tool silently (using
@
with make) so we caneasily redirect the output of the tool to a file without needing to
clean the
make
output. One can easily runmake -n changelog
to seethe command being invoked if necessary.
