The spec %changelog should really only cover important changes in the packaging itself. That includes comments about added/removed patches, the corresponding bugzilla ticket numbers, major rewrite-attempts of scriptlets or other spec portions (which may result in regression). If a version upgrade fixes several bugs which have been reported to you, it's added value if you mention those bug numbers, too. -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
