What about calling it spec2changelog and including it in the build package? changelog2spec is already there and also requires perl-TimeDate already.
Argh, it's the same story over and over again. Why don't we drop the .changes file in favour of using %changelog in spec?

I agree. What are the benefits of keeping them separate?
in the past the .changes contains the full history, while the .spec file one got stripped (for size and speed reasons). Dunno if this is still needed. However, our dream (okay maybe not everybody;) was since the beginn of OBS to get an improved changelog handling. One changelog system, but with tags to declare changes as important for user, developers, feature freeks (read marketing people), security, .... So we can generate and search for entries which are important for the use case. However, that needs some thinking, esp. about the tools to keep us efficient with that. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SUSE Linux Products GmbH email: adrian@suse.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
