To complete, it work like this : - the changelog is created by taking every commit message in svn for the current branch of the package, except if it start with "SILENT:" on the first line, in which case the whole message is discarded. Line starting by "SILENT:" who are not the first are also removed, this permit to have filtering on each line. - Then a file called log, coming from svn, is added to the end of the changelog. This file is where the previous changelog before the migration is stored. For example this file : http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/misc/acl/log?revision=523&view=markup That's the changelog from mandriva before it got forked to mageia, but this can also be the changelog before a package was imported in the svn. Extraction is done on import by a dedicated tool called mdvsys ( or mgarepo, a fork ). - then we add '%changelog' + changelog in the spec, and build a srpm out of svn and mirrors for binary content. - then the srpm is rebuilt ( binary and src.rpm ) and then sent to mirrors. -- Michael Scherer -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
