That way, you cannot fix typos, add missing CVE IDs, and the like. It's a significant functionality change. It may be possible to auto-generate a %changelog section listing new commits since the last %changelog update. Combined with a tool that people can run before editing the %changelog section manually, to make its contents explicit, I expect that to work. > (that won't work for thinks ike rehat-rpm-config because it does not > separate the project files in a separate repository but it’s high time > it behaved likea normal project, the non separation is a major PITA to > deal with) I have trouble matching this claim to my experience working on redhat-rpm-config. Why is it painful to use Git as it was designed? I don't think it's an improvement if contributors have to figure out how to generate a new upstream tarball for each change.
