E.g. you might want to build for RHEL 9.2 and RHEL 9.3. Users staying on 9.2 should update to that build for 9.2, users staying on 9.3 to the build for 9.3 and users uprgading from 9.2 to 9.3 should update to the build for 9.3 regardeless they updated to the 9.2 build before or not. It's bascially the same problem as Fedora has when users upgrade from Fredora 40 to 41. Fedora "fixed" the rpmautospec problem by stating that upgrade path between Fedoras is not maintained anymore and users need to do "dnf distro-sync" to ignore the RPM versioning. All that stems from tha fact that a number of commits between parallelly supported braches is not monotonic. > > - I sometimes need a different commit message from an RPM changelog entry. > > That's not a problem, the %changelog entry is customziable, see > https://docs.pagure.org/fedora-infra.rpmautospec/autochangelog.html. > If I understand it correctly the customization is actually dumping a changelog into a static file.

Last time it subsituted the release number with a dummy value. Part of the development is comparing old and new builds and testing an upgrade path. A dummy release number is not sufficient. -- Petr
