I gather I'm expected to write the changelog in a spec file by hand.
Why is this, BTW? Is there a reason we don't just generate it from CVS
commit messages, beyond "no-one's had time / inclination to implement
it"?
Because there's no forced standard for CVS commit messages. Plus, each
CVS commit in pkgcvs does not necessarily equal a new release or version
increment in the package. At least that's not how I use pkgcvs.
I view the RPM changelog as mostly fluff for end-user consumption. We
[the packagers] can summarize the main points of that release, note bug
numbers addressed, and other major points for that iteration of the package.
