... I agree with that. We could create symlinks from NEWS or ChangeLog to Upstream_Changes (or something like that) and later patch rpm to use this file (eg. rpm -q --upstreamchangelog pkg.rpm). We could also add macro %changes which will mark the file in filelist and create the link automatically.
Yes, these features are nice to have. I do not think that patching RPM right now is a feasible option but at least the macro would be very convenient. I would really welcome to move pur package conventions this direction.
There is one problem, though. Some projects have information scattered in both NEWS and ChangeLog files, but I agree that it is a problem of these projects, not distribution.
Sure. But usually, one is a summary of most important changes and the other something like a dump of version control system logs. The only thing we really have to do is to choose, which is more interesting and it is probably just up to maintainer.
