rpmautospec reduces the necessary churn when updating packages, in the
simplest case it boils down to this:
- use `Release: %autorelease` instead of bumping it yourself
- don't write the %changelog yourself, just put:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%changelog
%autochangelog
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
at the bottom of the spec

The rpmautospec automation will then bump the release via %autorelease
on each git commit and put every commit message into the changelog.
This has the huge advantage, that it makes updating across all branches
rather easy as you do not have to resolve merge conflicts due to
diverging changelogs or different release numbers any more.


Hope this explains it a bit, feel free to reach out directly if you've
got further questions,

Dan
