Or can the local file that the > .spec They will be formatted - to add the changelog for example. but the attributes and the texts do not have another source from what I understood. Is there any reason we put the changelog data in %changelog since the data is in .changes files?? No. If you did or do that, you're wasting time. %changelog was and will be rewritten from the content of .changes. We for instance never cared for %changelog sections in .spec files, only for .changes files. Simply leave the section empty (I'm not sure what happens if you leave it out alltogether, so just empty it). Right. If you leave it out, rpmlint will emit a warning. But I have another question: isn't now a good time to get rid off .changes files completely? (+adjusting tools like vc and osc)
Hum, why? I very much prefer the *.changes files about the changelog in the spec file. Why would you want to change that?
1) They are SUSE specific 2) They contain time with timezone, which sometimes cause trouble
Only if you enter them in the wrong order. Especially the time with timezone information is very helpful for me track who made which changes at which time in which order.
