That's supported by saving the generated changelog to 'changelog' file and doing whatever edits you want there. With that approach, you can do arbitrary formatting and fixups. The advantage compared to status quo (non-autochangelog) is that you only need to do it if the autogenerated changelog is deficient for whatever reasons. In the default case you can use autochangelog, and fall back to the manual version when necessary. > In addition, it assumes that the commits in git use the correct format for > %autochangelog. [snip long description of some very specific workflow] Rpmautospec allows you to have a part or parts of a commit message that end up in the changelog, and parts that do not, see https://docs.pagure.org/fedora-infra.rpmautospec/autochangelog.html#changelog-entries-generated-from-commit-messages Zbyszek _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
