I think rather than this, we should bite the bullet and remove changelogs

I find "rpm -q --changelog" useful (at least when maintainers put useful
info there, which isn't always), so please don't.
I am in favor of removing changelogs from spec files, but I do
understand that some people find them useful. How about a meet halfway
point and have a macro that maintainers can use to automatically
generate spec file changelog blocks for projects which we are also the
upstream for?
I have this silly script to generate an spec file changelog block
(complete with the hyphen prefixing and wrapping of lines and escaping
percent signs) that generates a block from the most recent tag on a git
repo:
==========
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin
CWD="$(pwd)"
LATEST_TAG="$(git tag --sort=taggerdate | tail -n 1)"
git log --format=%s ${LATEST_TAG}.. | tac | while read line ; do
first=1
echo "${line}" | sed -e 's|%|%%|g' | fold -s -w 70 | \
while read subline ; do
if [ ${first} -eq 1 ]; then
echo "- ${subline}"
first=0
else
echo " ${subline}"
fi
done
done
==========
I take this output and paste it in the spec file and then delete the
lines I don't want. Could be expanded to take a repo as a parameter, etc.
Dunno, just an idea.
