#263 Stop commit message gathering when changelog file changes
Closed: Fixed 2 years ago by nphilipp. Opened 2 years ago by fweimer.

I think it would be helpful if rpmautospec stopped gathering commits once its encounters a change to the changelog file. This would provide a simple way to isolate rpmautospec from problematic history (e.g., issue #209).

(Sorry, I haven't checked if this has been implemented yet. I'm going by the documented behavior here.)


Would you please update the documentation? The documented behavior is different.

It crawls the git history to count the number of commits since the last time the package version was bumped and to generate the changelog from the contents of the changelog file (if present) and the commit logs of all later commits.

The phrasing was supposed to express this, but as evidenced by this ticket 😉, is unclear. I'll fix it.

@fweimer would you please check if the change to the documentation I put into PR #277 makes this clearer? Thanks!

@fweimer Hmm, I guess I'll merge it as is. If you have further suggestions to improve it, let me know!
