In this case, the changelog entry simply serves to explain what happened to the missing number -- there was a build with no changes made. If it described changes, that'd be a different issue. (It happens that that particular build didn't really happen on this branch, but from the POV of what a rpm changelog is useful for, that's irrelevant. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx> Senior Systems Architect -- SEAS Computing Harvard School of Engineering & Applied Sciences -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
