[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Extend %changelog to accept filename. (#393)

[Vít Ondruch]

Well, one big advantage from the %include/%changelog way would be the possible opt-in. If you want to automate "slapping the changelog itself at the tail of the spec", then it means you have to actually change the build infrastructure to do it.

TBH the biggest issue I see currently is that the SRPM changelog duplicates the .spec changelog. And these two might be possibly different. This should not happen.

If I am thinking about the workflow how to obtain the log from SCM and get it into SRPM, I think that the "rpmbuild -bs" could call some macro to update the changelog. But at that moment, you probably don't want to modify the .spec file which as about to be packaged into SRPM. Modifying some changelog file would be more acceptable IMO.
