No one asked for them, but here are my ideas ...

Please no. Yes, I probably the only one to not sync all branches to have different changelog, and I also don't want the mass-rebuild stuff there. Simple proposal, we have rpmdev-bumpspec, improve it to retrieve information from git log is you want to use it. > A general principle I'm following here is a packager should never > be asked to enter the same information twice. There are different: * Changelog is for end user * Git log is for package maintainer > * committing to git should build the package > > Is there a reason why this wouldn't be the case? Yes, because I often commit various changse "before" the build (some being cherry-pick on other branch, some not) IMHO, remember KISS, and don't try to add more magic to our tooling And I really prefer to see stabilization of our current tools and infrastructure before breaking it again.
