For limiting the change log entries in the binary packages
%_changelog_trimtime can be used that take a unix time stamp as an
integer value. This way the whole history is still available in the spec
file.
Could redhat-rpm-config set that automatically, for example to the
release date of Fedora N-1?
Why does it have to be date based?
Why not having a count based cutoff?
Like last N entries.
Ask yourself what changelogs are serve for and you'll find the answer.
It's questions such as:
- When did a change make it into a package?
This is available in the git repo.
Jesus Christ - The git repos are not available to ordinary users, nor
are they easily accessible!
- What are the changes since "<old> NVR"?
Same here ... you can view a log from commit to commit to view that
(even diffs).
- Which changes are relevant to %changelog users?
...
That is, cutting at <N> would cut at points, which are likely cut off off
the information users are interested in.
We are using git.
The packagers are using git - The distro's users aren't.
You have everything there (not only the changelogs
but the old versions of spec file / patches).
That's an urban myth.
