Hello, all -
Anyone know if it's possible to insert a time, along with the date, in a
%changelog entry? I know that the date specification in %changelog is
very tempermental, so I didn't even know if a time in the %changelog
would even be possible.
The changelog time entry is stored as seconds since unix epoch but the
time is hardwired to noon at GMT inside rpm.
I have seen funny things with dates changing depending on the timezone
in which the RPM is built. If I build a package in Melbourne Australia
(GMT+10) the changelog ends up different than if it is built in the US
(GMT-8?). I guess if I build the rpm, the changes end up at noon the
next day?

John.
So no, you can't store a
time there and have it in the changelogtime entry. The changelogname tag
isn't parsed for correctness so you can put stuff in there - anything
that comes after the date goes there so you can have something like this
if it rocks your boat :)
