Today I reviewed the specfile guideline wiki, and found a warning in changelog section as follows:
"Warning: Packages in openSUSE:Factory require that changes are listed with every new upstream release, and if upstream does not provide any changelog information, you must still provide that information in the .changes file, such as "update to 1.2.3: no changelog available"
Under this theory, what we all think is wrong is actually right. Factory encourages us to copy and paste upstream changelog (changes are listed with every new upstream release)
But I never ever received group email from coolo taking about this policy change. and I never be rejected by not listing upstream changes. so is this warning fake/misleading and should be deleted from wiki?
This has been policy for a long time and we reject packages quite often because they only list "update to 1.2.3" - we expect some minimum research on what has changed and accept that this research is too expensive as upstream doesn't provide as reasonable way to find out.
