#57 fedpkg update doesn't say how to create a multi-line note
Closed: Invalid None Opened 11 years ago by kparal.

If I run "fedpkg update", a text file is provided to be filled out. There is this section:

{{{

Description of your update················································

notes=Here is where you give an explanation of your update.

}}}

It is completely unclear how to create a multiline description (Bodhi web front-end offers multiline descriptions and they are often needed).

The comment above notes= should say how to do that, or at least the man page should say that.


I'm not sure if it's even possible to do this outside of the Bodhi web interface.

I think I've found out that adding two spaces at the beginning of each line creates a correct multi-line description. But I can't verify that right now. If someone can, it would be welcome.

Thanks, that was very useful. I can confirm that adding more lines below notes= and having those lines start with a space (1 space is enough) does the trick.

+1 For adding this to comment in the template above notes=
