My spec file changelog describes what the spec changes did in regard to functionality or version changes of the tool. My git commit messages usually try to summarize, what happened to the (dist-)git-repo - mostly stuff that can be seen in `git show --stat`, although sometimes I describe what I changed inside a file. The field for bodhi I usually copy from the changelog - but to be honest I only fill it, because it's there - I don't even really know what it is used for, except being shown on the update page. On the other side when I'm looking for something, because something broke or whatever, usually I go to the spec-file on src.fedoraproject.org[1] first, and if I can't find the reason I'm looking for in the first few seconds I take a look at the changelog, which for convenience is right there. Didn't even know about `rpm -q xx --changelog` - quite nice, but as I prefer to look at the spec file instructions first anyway I'll probably still check there. (Usually I look for a specific Patch file or configure-flag, so the directly checking the spec is faster) For me this is a plus and one of the reasons I do enjoy packaging for Fedora more than I enjoy packaging for Debian - one single spec file vs. many files, and each single one of those has a different format. But I also do understand that separating the changelog from the spec file might have its benefits and that duplication of the messages for people using the git log message as changelog messages is annoying. All the best, Astra
