It is of course stupid to remove all changelog entries, the method shoule be something like "not older than $DATE, but at least $MINIMAL_NUMBER entries".
'of course'? The cutoff date I picked is Jan 1 2018 - so nearly two years of changelogs, on a distro that is almost daily updated. And it is ONLY the changelog in the binary rpm... the package changelog in the changes file stays fully intact for the packagers.
Different strategies could be nice for RPM - a mix between max number of entries vs age - but that's nothing RPM offers.
"Of course" some people have arrogant opinions that do not accept the realities we actually face building a distribution of twelve thousand source packages, hundreds of which change every week. "of course" any decision you make will be critiqued both fairly and unfairly. "of course" I think the decision the trim from Jan 1 2018 is a fine idea, even if its confused a little bit of our automation. -- Richard Brown Linux Distribution Engineer - Future Technology Team Phone +4991174053-361 SUSE Software Solutions Germany GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg (HRB 36809, AG Nürnberg) Geschäftsführer: Felix Imendörffer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
