Using macro definitions inside %changelog results in "error: no description in %changelog"

[Pooya Daravi <daravi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi I am trying to dynamically create my RPM files. So I am passing defines to rpmbuild:

```
rpmbuild --ba --define "_VERSION `<command_to_generate_version>`" --define "_CHANGELOG `cat <path_to_changelog>`" <path_to_spec_file>
```

I am able to dynamically use ${_VERSION} in the .spec file, but for changelog:
```
%changelog

%{_CHANGELOG}

```
Is not working. When running the above `rpmbuild` command I am getting this error: "error: no description in %changelog"

Is it not possible to use macro defines inside the %changelog section? If so is there any other way I could dynamically set the changelog and not have to generate a new spec file for each release?

Thank you,
Puya
