Hi all,

openSUSE has a documented policy for how to reference external bugs / features from within package %changelogs:

https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Creating_a_changes_file_(RPM)#Bug_fix.2C_fe...

This works fairly well, but is not perfect, especially in the case where entries in a foo.changes file are automatically generated from upstream SCM repositories, e.g. via the tar_scm source service. Some recent discussion amongst my team got me thinking about whether we could improve this slightly. So I just wrote up my thoughts, which include two possible ways forward:

https://github.com/openSUSE/obs-service-tar_scm/issues/207

Feedback on this would be very welcome.

Thanks! Adam
