</div>That's not correct. The change log is stored within the rpm header which<br>
is not compressed. While there have been efforts to compress the header<br>
those changes have not (yet) made it upstream as it would make rpm<br>
packages completely incompatible with older rpm versions.<br>
<br>
For limiting the change log entries in the binary packages<br>
%_changelog_trimtime can be used that take a unix time stamp as an<br>
integer value. This way the whole history is still available in the spec<br>
file.<br>
